　　The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids．　　1　　．There are over eighty of them scattered(分散，撒布)along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids．The most famous of these are the“step”pyramid and“Bent”pyramid．

　　Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago．Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings．　　2　　．These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever．　　3　　．However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves．　　4　　．Nevertheless(然而), by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them．

　　One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build．　　5　　．You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere．Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome．

A．The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve(保护)the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin．

B．It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved．

C．The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place．

D．Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used．

E．Many people were killed while building the pyramids．

F．They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet．

G．It takes workers twenty years to build the Pyramids．

　　AIDS is a medical condition caused by HIV, a virus which damages people's natural defenses against disease．So far, no cure has been found for it．

　　In the early mid-1980s, while other parts of the world were beginning to deal with the serious disease, Asia remained relatively unaffected by this newly discovered health problem．By the early 1990s, however, HIV and AIDS had hit several Asian countries, and by the end of that decade, HIV was spreading rapidly in many areas of the continent．Today, HIV and AIDS are a growing problem in every region of Asia．The latest statistics produced by UNAIDS suggest that in 2008, over 5 million people were living with HIV or AIDS in Asia．

　　Various factors cause the spread of HIV, including poverty, inequality, unequal status of women, cultural myths about sex and high levels of migration(移民)．Although it's useful to understand the situation of AIDS in Asia as a whole, each country in the region faces a different situation．In Cambodia and Thailand, there has been evidence of declines in HIV infection levels．In Indonesia, Pakistan and Vietnam, meanwhile, the number of people living with HIV has rapidly increased．In China, the number of people newly infected with HIV and AIDS is also rising, although at a much slower pace．

　　Much improvement is needed to prevent HIV and AIDS around Asia．New guidelines and policy documents have been continually issued over the years．Most of the successful programs do have at least three features in common．Firstly, these programs encourage HIV and AIDS education among the general population to teach people how to avoid infection and to face discrimination．Secondly, they are very practical and they involve the infected people themselves in program design and implementation(实施)．Last but not least, strong leadership is essential for HIV prevention．If all of the leaders truly committed themselves to this cause, then a great many lives would be saved．
