AIDS
The World Health Organization (WHO) says as many as 10 million persons worldwide may have the virus that causes AIDS(艾滋病)。 Experts believe about 350 thousand persons have the disease. And one million more may get it in the next five years. In the United States， about 50，000 persons have died with AIDS. The country's top medical official says more than 90 percent of all Americans who had the AIDS virus five years ago are dead.
There is no cure for AIDS and no vaccine(疫苗) to prevent it. However， researchers know much more about AIDS than they did just a few years ago. We now know that AIDS is caused by a virus. The virus invades healthy cells， including white blood cells that are part of our defense system against disease. It takes control of the healthy cell's genetic(基因的) material and forces the cell to make a copy of the virus. The cell then dies. And the viral particles move on to invade and kill healthier cells.
The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids(液體)。 The virus can be passed sexually or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous(進(jìn)入靜脈的) drugs. It also can be passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman with AIDS to her developing baby.
Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by touching drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Experts say no one has gotten AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.
1 According to the WHO, there are now 10 million AIDS patients in the world.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
2 America has the largest number of AIDS patients in the world.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
3 The cause of AIDS remains a mystery to researchers.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
4 AIDS patients today cannot be cured yet.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
5 A pregnant woman with AIDS cannot pass the virus to her developing baby.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
6 It is unlikely that the Aids virus will be passed through handshaking.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
7 Men are more easily infected with AIDS than women.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
答案：1. B 2. C 3. B 4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C

Facts about Stroke
1 Every 45 seconds,someone in America has a stroke.Every 3.1 minutes,someone dies of one.Stroke killed an estimated 167,661 people in 2000 and is the nation's third leading cause of death,ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer.Stroke is a leading cause of serious,long-term disability in the United States.
2 Stroke is a type of cardiovascular(心血管的)disease.It affects the arteries(動(dòng)脈)leading to and within the brain.A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients(營養(yǎng)物)to the brain is either blocked by a clot(凝塊)or bursts.When that happens,part of the brain cannot get the blood(and oxygen)it needs,so it starts to die.
3 The brain is an extremely complex organ that controls various body functions.If a stroke occurs and blood flow can't reach the region that controls a particular body function,that part of the body won't work as it should.If the stroke occurs toward the back of the brain,for instance,it's likely that some disability involving vision will result.The effects of a stroke depend primarily on the location of the obstruction(阻塞)and the extent of brain tissue affected.
4 The American Stroke Association has identified several factors that increase the risk of stroke.The more risk factors a person has,the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke.Some of these you can't control,such as increasing age,family health history,race,and prior stroke.But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk.Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be modified with a healthcare provider's help.Some of these include:high blood pressure,current smoking,heart disease,and high red blood cell count.
5 A stroke can happen to anyone at any moment.In fact about 600,000 people have strokes every year.For many years,there was no hope for those suffering a stroke.However,recent breakthroughs have led to new treatments.For the treatments to work,the person must get to a hospital immediately.
23.Paragraph 2__________.
24.Paragraph 3__________.
25.Paragraph 4__________.
26.Paragraph 5__________.
A Effects of a stroke
B Annual cost of stroke in the US
C Definition and description of a stroke

Wayne Beno
Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman.Fishing,boating,hunting,walking through the woods with his three dogs,Wayne loved and did it all.Then life changed dramatically.Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease(帕金森氏病).
"For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors(顫抖).I only went out during peak times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasn't often and I really couldn't do much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,"said Wayne.
Then Wayne's doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation(刺激)(DBS).DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson's disease,essential tremor and more.It is not a cure,but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to the patient.
In addition to his doctor's recommendation,Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.His friend's experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz,Wisconsin could be well worth the effort.
And was it ever."It was the best thing I ever did.I'm down to zero pills a day and I don't shake at all,"reports Wayne."Before the surgery,I felt bad every single day.Now I feel like my old self.I'm back to business as usual,which for me means fishing,fishing,and more fishing,every day of the year.Things just couldn't be any better!"

Landmines
Worldwide there are estimated to be 120 million landmines (地雷) spread through 62 countries. _____(1) The United Nations is currently involved in 14 mine-clearing operations around the world but it estimates that, at current rate, it will take 1,000"years to remove all the world's landmines.
Landmines are a favorable weapon because they cost so little to produce - about 3 pounds per mine. _____(2)
Landmines cause the death or injury of 70 people a day, of whom most are civilians. _____(3) In fact, about half the landmines active today lie in unmarked fields, in countries no longer in conflict.
And landmines do not only kill and maim (使殘廢); they also hold back economic development. In Afghanistan, for example, where the former Soviet Army laid down an estimated ten million landmines, more than half of the land which could be cultivated for agriculture is useless because it is so heavily mined. According to Eileen Maybin of the Charity Christian Aid, mines also condemn people to relying on overseas aid - aid which is often provided by governments which provided the landmines in the first place:
"_____(4) Because there are landmines on agricultural land, people are actually dependent on food aid. This is one of the ironies of the situation - that governments are providing money for food aid when, if the mines were cleared, people would be able to feed themselves."
Forty-nine countries have so far signed the United Nations Inhumane Weapons Convention, which restricts the manufacture and export of landmines. _____(5) But some signatories (簽約國) of the UN Convention, such as the UK, continue to support the manufacture and export of these weapons. The British Government says that it won't support a complete ban because it considers the landmine a legitimate (合法的) military weapon if it is used responsibly.
A A further 19 countries, including the USA, France, Germany and Japan, have banned all exports of landmines completely.
B However, the cost of locating and removing them is high - between 300 pounds and 700 pounds per mine.
C A recent UN gathering of world leaders in Vienna, Austria, failed to secure a complete ban on the manufacture and sale of landmines.
D And every year, for every 100,000 mines removed, another two million are put down.
E Landmines are actually destroying the social fabric and economic independence of countries.
F And many of the casualties occur in countries where war has long since ended.
