  I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill.It was, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday:“Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS.Be very careful when you are around him.”

  AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up.From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret.My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone.For a while, he could take care of himself.But when I was 12, his condition worsened.My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.

  We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner.I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.

  I did not share my burden with anyone.I had seen how people reacted to AIDS.Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease.And even adults could be cruel.When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.

  I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret.I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days.Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support.That day, she kept me on the phone for hours.I was so lucky to find someone who cared.She saved my life.

  I was 15 when my father died.He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me.He didn't want to call attention to AIDS.I do.

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.

We all sat down and looked 41 at each other—what was he  42 ?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a 43 of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes, ”said Ben. The next 44 was also a little strange 45 we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables. ”
As we ate we chatted and finally the 46 turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe(菜谱) for this, ”asked Marina, “or did you 47 it up? ”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked 48 what I could find. ”Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days. ”“But there’s 49 choice in what you can find 50 supermarkets, ” he replied.
 51 that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 52 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 53 , boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.

任务型阅读

注意:每个空格只填1个单词。

  When young children are learning to ride a bicycle, they require that their parents hold on to the back of the bike so that they gain confidence and won’t fall off.

  However, when children leave to go to college, or get married, parents must accept that their children are riding off into their own future.At this time, parents shouldn’t stand back and with the children gone, they are left with an empty nest.How can parents get through this period of life?

  The first thing you should do is nothing at all.You should actually take some time to rest since your child was born.Just relax and reward yourself for the work you put into your child.

  Taking some time for yourself will allow you to adjust to the change and figure out how you really feel about your child’s departure(离开).You shouldn’t compare how you feel with how other people feel, as everyone’s experience of an empty nest is different.

  Exercise is a great mood lifter.A physical fitness program may have been one of the first sacrifices(牺牲)you made when your child came along; now, with fewer duties, you’ll have time to hit the gym regularly.If you have a friend who also has become an empty nester recently, you may have found a new companion.Not only will you get the chance to share dealing with tips, you’ll also create social opportunities for yourself, which will get you out of that empty house if you need to.

  We all have those things that we say we’ll do or learn “someday”.If you’re an empty nester, the “someday” might just be now.

  If you’re not sure exactly what to do in all your spare time, take your time and think about it.It will, however, probably be easier to figure out your dream when you’re out.Try exploring a nearby museum or attraction you’ve never visited.

  Many parents may fear an empty nest because they worry that their little birds have flown away forever.Try setting up a regular phone date with your child.A once-a-week call may make you feel satisfied while giving your child a reasonable degree of freedom.
