An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left.

People often ask me why I wear a red ribbon. Some people ask the question simply to find out what the ribbon means,but other people are really asking a hidden question：they wonder what experiences in life has moved me so that I would want to wear a red ribbon,a visible reminder to all who see me of the continuing battle against HIV and AIDS. They are asking why I,a white female in the heart of the conservative South,would choose to take an often unpopular stand,instead of quietly going about my life. Unknowingly,they are asking about my husband,Bob Johnson.
Bob Johnson made me his wife,but AIDS made me his widow. He died in my arms at 1 ：45 a.m. on Monday,May 17,1993,in the little white house we had moved into only two days earlier. In our private final hours,I sang to him,prayed over him,and recited the 23rd psalm over and over as I carefully brushed his long hair.
"Go ahead,sweetie," I whispered as I held him, "it's okay to let go now. " As I kissed his lips for the last time and felt his life leave his body,my hand stayed on his chest,where his body heat remained the longest. Another brave warrior in the fight against AIDS had fallen.
Now I wear the red ribbon. I am still alive,still able to carry the message about the reality and urgency of AIDS and how HIV can be prevented. I carry this message for those whose voices can no longer be heard but whose presence can still be felt. What message is that? I carry the message―to all who will hear and listen―that HIV/AIDS is,at this point,100% fatal ... but it is also 100% preventable.
The gay community,for more than a decade,has shown us an incredible example of what unconditional love and honest,AIDS prevention education can accomplish. What about the rest of us? Where are the mainstream churches? I have been disppointed by stories of persons protesting AIDS funerals with hateful signs or quietly asking HIV-infected families to leave.
When I wear the red ribbon,I am demonstrating my compassion and care for people living with HIV/AIDS,my determination that those who have already died from AIDS-related causes will not be forgotten,my support for the ongoing efforts of all AIDS service organizations and researchers,my desire to educate others about how to stop the spread of this plague.
There are those who believe the red ribbon has lost its meaning,that it's only an empty symbol now. I disagree!As long as my red ribbon gives someone the opportunity to ask me a question about AIDS,or gives someone the strength to go through another day encouraged by this small sign of support and solidarity (团结) ，then its message is very clear; The red ribbon simply means that I care.
( ) 1. The writer chose to wear a red ribbon .
A. to be given more sympathy from the friends and neighbor around
B. to fight against the discrimination in the conservative South
C. to offer the help for those who are infected with HIV/AIDS
D. to collect money as much as possible for the AIDS orphans
( ) 2. According to the passage,which of the following is true?
A. Bob passed away together with his AIDS friend in the hospital.
B. Families and friends were terribly afraid of saying goodbye to Bob.
C. The love and care from his wife made Bob's leaving peacefully.
D. Bob was infected with AIDS by blood transmission and drugs.
( ) 3. What word can be used to take the place of the "underlined" word "plague" in the passage?
A. disaster B. rumour C. message D. sadness
( ) 4. Which will be the best title for the passage?
A. I Wear a Red Ribbon B. AIDS Made Me a Widow
C: AIDS Is 100% Preventable D. It's OK to Let Go Now

Pope died at her home here at age 61 on Aug. 29,2003. A towel had been placed around her neck to keep her cool on that 87-degree summer day. She wore a white dress while sitting in a chair in an upstairs room,in front of a television that played as family members went about their lives downstairs.
She remained there,according to her wishes,for almost 2 years. "Don't show my body when Fm dead," Dr. O'dell Owens,said Monday when explaining Pope's wishes. "Don't bury me. I'm coming back."Owens called a news conference Monday to explain Pope's death,the unusual state of her body and how family members controlled heating and air conditioning as they attempted to preserve her remains.
Cincinnati police found the mummified (木乃伊似的) grandmother Wednesday in her two? story,peachcolored home in the 5,500 block of Davies Place.

"Pope's sister,Deborah Gaston,hadn't seen her sister in years," Owens said. Gaston called Cincinnati police Wednesday and reported a dead body at the home.
Pope's sister wasn't the first person to call police. A woman from Pope's church called police on Halloween,after hearing thirdhand that Pope was dead inside the home.
"Police investigated,but they didn't have enough information to go into the house”， Owens said. "The call from Pope's sister was enough,and police found Pope's body dressed in the white gown,seated in the chair and in front of the television,which was turned on ," Owens said.

The impact that English has to our life is beyond words. It is one of the major courses to kids ever since they start their primary schools. With Olympics being held in Beijing in 2008 and World Exposition in Shanghai 2010,English spree (狂热) seems not going to die out very soon but will continue to grow.
To some people,it's a big release,when seeing themselves graduate from the university and they don't need to touch English anymore. Kiss you,byebye,someone exclaimed. While to some others,it is not the case. After years and years of study,some people,still want to continue their "love" with English. "I can't just throw it away as I do with a textbook," someone sighed. So,what to do then?
Well,don't feel depressed. You are more than right to continue your "love" with English. How to do it? Well,easy!Just treat it as a hobby. If you look at the people around you,you will see almost all of them have hobbies. Some of them like sports,some like shopping,some enjoy playing mahjong. The list can go on and on. So,what's wrong to treat it as your hobby? I know this sounds very bizarre to many people,but who cares.
Once we decide what our hobby is,it's important that we take a good look at this particular "hobby". As we all know,it consists of four major components―listening,speaking,reading and writing. It's almost not practical to try to be perfect with all these four pillars. (Remember,I define it as a hobby,not a career. ) So,ask yourself what you really want to pursue. If you are fond of translation,go for it. If you choose reading,well,why not?
As this hobby is quite different from others,we should therefore,need to work out a plan to make the hobby more practical. To me,this hobby requires faith,action and patience. Let's talk about faith first. I believe you all agree with me that confidence and faith should be the first step when you start our journey. This is more like "lovetalking". If you don't think you can fall in love with a boy or a girl,what's the point of trying it? After all,you are just wasting your time.
Now,once you have the confidence,the trust you have on yourself. What need to be done next is to work out a plan. Let's say,you want to "fall in love" with translation. What you may choose to do is to go to a library and pick your "girl/boy friend"，that is the book that you want to "fall in love".
Lastly,we shouldn't be too hard to ourselves. Remember,this hobby is totally different from others. You've got to give yourself time and patience. Again,this is very much like "lovetalking". You need to give yourself time to play around. Great Wall was not built overnight,right? So is our love.
( ) 5. In pursing one's hobby,the writer seems to believe that the key elements are
A. love,plan and action
B. faith,action and patience
C. purpose,confidence and books
D. environment,trust and decision
( ) 6. The underlined word "pillars" in the fourth paragraph is closest here in meaning to
A. subjects B. courses C. columns D. aspects
( ) 7. By saying "Great Wall was not built overnight" at the end of the passage,what the writer really wants to convey is .
A. it is not an easy job to learn English well
B. one should grasp his time learning English
C. it is never too late to begin English learning
D. you may take your time at English learning
( ) 8. In writing this passage,the writer is somehow very .
A. humorous B. doubtful C. persuasive D. abusive

In a living statue,just as the name implies,somebody transforms himself or herself into a statue. Last year,I came across an article in a magazine describing living statues in the streets of some Australian cities. The article was vividly written,except that there was not even a single picture;one could only imagine what a scene it would have been!All the harder,then,to believe that I ran into the "wonder" in Barcelona this year. The performers一the living statues—were street artists at Las Ramblas.
Las Ramblas is the most famous street in Barcelona. Especially in summer,thousands of tourists go to the seaside by passing through this street,making it a center of shops and bazaars (市场) .Not only can you find tourists there,but also thieves,swindlers,cops ... among whom the living statue artists are the most special group.
They were covered with greasepaint (油脂漆) in different colors,wearing season disproportional clothes,standing on a base for several hours without making even a single move. Are they real or fake,the guests were wondering ... and then suddenly the statues came to life,just for a few seconds to shift positions. But the movement of the statues seemed like someone just had breathed life into them. They really do look like statues,and that's how they got their name.
Usually there is a jar or a hat in front of them. They would change to another pose whenever some tourists put a coin in the hat. You may take photos after giving a Euro,or even less,but be careful not to touch the statues,unless you want yourself to be covered in paint. It's a really special experience,don't you think?
For Chinese people,this is undoubtedly a surprising style of art and way of making a living. I haven't seen or heard any report at all about living statues in Chinese cities. Body painting of course sometimes can be seen,but it's not quite the same as having a living statue.
( ) 5. From the passage we know that a living statue is .
A. a statue which can be made in the face of the people
B. a kind of statue that people can touch freely
C. a statue that somebody pretends and that looks like a real one
D. a common statue that can stand in the street
( ) 6. Where did the writer first know about the living statues?
A. In a magazine.
B. In the street of Bacelona.
C. In some squares in China.
D. From some pictures.
( ) 7. According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
A. At Las Ramblas you can see different kinds of people except the living statues.
B. Body painting is the same as the living statues.
C. You can take photos of the statues for free but better not touch them.
D. Up to now,there are no living statues appearing in the streets in China.
( ) 8. The underlined word "vividly" probably means .
A. lively B. interestingly C. carefully D. lovely
