16、y 1991 their love had deepened, and they were happy. Later that year, Bill developed a white spot on his tongue. He visited a doctor.One day shortly after that, Bill called Karen to sit beside him. He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her. The doctor suspe
17、cted that he had been infected with HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS.The family was tested. Bill and Karens results were positive. Bill had become infected before he met Karen; then he passed the virus on to Karen. The childrens results were negative. Within three years, Bill was dead.“I dont know
18、how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly. I cried many nights. He died three months short of ten years of our marriage,”says Karen. Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death, she is still al
19、ive. The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS.Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS, a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia. Ireland and Paraguay. According to one UN report, Africa has 21 million of these victims. By the turn of the
20、 century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history. Of the worlds sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV. Of these, only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected. In some parts of Africa,25 per
21、cent of the adults are infected.Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981,about 11.7 million people have died of it.

25、 has been reducedC One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild
26、places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will
27、not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are miss
28、ing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsand they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it;
29、research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not a
30、lone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm
31、as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage. Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of
32、 our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 1. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that _. A. kids missing the sense of wonder outdoors B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the WoodsD. children are exp
33、ected to develop into protectors of nature 2. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _.

34、 the author, childrens breaking an arm is _. A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up C. the result of their own carelessness in play D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers 4. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _. A.
35、blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about childrens lack of experience in nature D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things aroundDMany students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or i
36、n the dinning-room. But some of them dont really know how to eat well when eating out.Here is some important advice. The first is to eat less fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat. Young people and adults are at risk of disease relate
37、d to weight.Too much fast food can drag your body down. French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acrylamide(丙烯酰胺) than other food. This may cause cancer. Actually, deep fried food all contains acrylamide. So dont eat it too often.Soda is another thing you should watch out
38、for. Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a persons calcium absorption, so its best to drink as little soda as possible.Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but its actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need variety. You can have a dinn
39、er that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物). In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal. It is nat
40、ural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time. Dont forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag.
