Clinton hails China's AIDS progress, offers help

  Former U.S.President Bill Clinton said Wednesday China has made progress in fighting AIDS since he last visited in 2003 and his foundation would give drugs and help train doctors battling the disease.

  Experts have criticized China for being slow to recognize a growing AIDS problem, and the United Nations has said the country could have as many as 10 million cases by 2010 if precautions were not taken.

  “China has made impressive progress in building a comprehensive system of care for all Chinese patients in need, ”Clinton said at a reception in Beijing.

  The government has estimated China has 840,000 people with HIV or AIDS.

  Clinton also announced the setting up of a fellowship to take urban doctors trained in treating AIDS to rural areas to treat people and train doctors.Several hundred physicians will be trained over the next two years, he said.

  Since leaving office, Clinton has campaigned to get AIDS drugs to people who do not have them.

  During his last visit to China in November 2003, Clinton said the disease could dampen(抑制)its booming growth.He also hugged a man infected with HIV at a public forum.

  Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and President Hu Jintao later made similar gestures, visiting AIDS patients publicly and voicing their determination to fight the disease.

  This month, Wen spent the Chinese Lunar New Year Eve with AIDS patients in rural Henan province, where many people in some villages were infected in blood-selling schemes in the mid-1990s.

  The whole of society needed to be mobilized to combat HIV/AIDS, Clinton cited Wen as saying.

  “Our journey in space was very smooth.The living and working conditions inside the cabin were very good, and our health is okay.Thanks,” Fei said on state television, with a smile.

  During his 21-hour first flight in 2003, astronaut Yang Liwei never left his seat in the re-entry capsule nor took off his space suit.In contrast, Fei and Nie’s flight saw them leave the re-entry capsule and enter the orbital capsule(轨道舱), taking off their heavy suits and putting on ordinary work clothes so they could move around easily.

  To remove worries that China could use space for military purposes, Premier Wen Jiabao said the purpose of the mission was to conduct experiments “entirely for peaceful purposes.”

  It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some moreBut in order to work up the desire to rewrite ,it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage

  I am surprised at the number of famouw writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers’ opinionsOne reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we’re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain whern first written downJerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work

  Different from popular belief ,wen do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbois for ideas(known as mentalese), and writing our ideas down is an act of transtation from that symbolic languageBut while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry(织锦)writing can only be composed one thread at a timeTherefone it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simpleIt si only by repeatedly rewrting that wen producs new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds

  When people write as if some strict critics(批评家)are looking over their shoulder, they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even startPeter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problemWhen writing wen should have two different mindsAt the first stage ,we should see every idea ,as well as the words we use to express it ,as wonderful and worth putting downIt is only during rewrites that we should examine what wen excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses
