A new report by the UN AIDS organizations finds the global AIDS epidemic is
worsening.
The
agency
says
more
people
in
all
regions
around
the
world
are
becoming infected with HIV
, the virus which causes AIDS.




UN AIDS reports that significant progress has been made in providing treatment
for larger
numbers of AIDS
victims
and in
achieving
greater political
and financial
commitments in the fight against the fatal disease. Despite this, the report says none
of these efforts has been enough to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.



Last
year, the report notes five million people became newly infected with HIV
.
That is more people than any previous year. Currently, it says, more than 38 million
people are living with the disease.



UN AIDS Senior Adviser Karen Stanecki says Asia, with 60 percent of the world's
population, is home to some of the fastest growing epidemics in the world. In 2003
alone, she says, more than one million people became infected with HIV
.

“
Equally alarming, we have only just begun to witness the full impact of AIDS on
African
societies
as
infections
continue
to
grow
and
people
are
dying
in
large
numbers. The scale of the problem in Africa is well documented, with over 25 million
infections. If we don
’
t act now, 60 percent of today
’
s 15-year-olds will not reach their
60th birthday.
”


The report says the Caribbean is the hardest hit region in the world after Africa. It
also
finds
the
HIV/AIDS
epidemic
is
continuing
to
expand
in
Eastern
Europe
and
Central Asia, mainly due to intravenous drug users.




UN AIDS says infections also are on the rise in the United States and Western
Europe.
It
blames
this
largely
on
the
widespread
availability
of
anti-AIDS
drags,
which it says has made some people in these wealthy countries complacent.




UN AIDS Director
of Monitoring and Evaluation, Paul
De
Lay, acknowledges
that around the world prevention programs are reaching fewer than one in five people
who
need
them.
Nevertheless,
he
says
there
has
been
a
dramatic
increase
in
prevention activities for young people and several other successes as well.






both in primary and secondary schools. That is a huge increase from the late 1990s. In
highly vulnerable groups like sex workers, we are seeing a real success story in Africa.
32 percent of sex workers that are identified have access to HIV prevention and there
is a large increase in condom use in this population.




The
report
says
global
spending
on
AIDS
has
increased
greatly,
but,
more
is
needed. It estimates $$12 billion will be needed by next year, and $$20 billion by 2007,

1
for
prevention
and
care
in
developing
countries.
The
United
Nations
says
AIDS
funding
has
increased
sharply
in
recent
years,
in
part
due
to
the
US
government's
global
AIDS
initiative. But
it
says
still
globally
less
than
half
the
money
needed
is
being provided.

2) won
’
t, addict, prone
3) genetic, fixed, fated
4) regulations, implications
B.

1) a)


2) b)


3) a)
C.
1) Human genes are all under close study in laboratories.
2)
It
implies
that
insurance
companies
or
employers
might
take
advantage
and
discriminate against those who have been identified as being at high risk.
【原文】

Mary
Gearin: Welcome to
the lab. Like it or not, we're all in
the Petri
dish
now as
more scientists than ever look for the cause of our habits lying hidden
in our genes.
Dr. Whitfield: The advances in DNA technology mean that techniques can be applied
to this type of research which weren't possible before and which give
the prospect of what you might call an explosion in outcomes in actual
findings that we can use.
Mary Gearin: It's a detective story with an unknown number of villains. We haven't
established how many of our 40,000 genes may leave us more likely to
be
addicted,
but
some
scientists
do
believe
they've
confirmed
a
layperson's principle
—
that we're about half nature, half nurture.
Dr. Whitfield: The conclusion at the moment is that genetics accounts for about half
the
variation
in
liability
to
a
number
of
kinds
of
addiction
and
that
environmental influences, or just the random things that happen to us
as we go through life, account for the other half.

Mary Gearin: Of course, genes won't determine who will or won't become an addict,
only those who are more prone to becoming one. Listen to a reformed
smoker and a leading researcher in the field, Wayne Hall.
Wayne Hall:

I think we really do have a task in front of us to educate people that
“
genetic
”
doesn
’
t mean fixed, immutable, unchangeable, fated. It still
leaves
plenty
of
room
for
human
decision,
choice
and
capacity
to
influence and change behaviour.
Mary
Gearin:
Wayne
Hall
is
pushing
for
regulations
to
deal
with
the
ethical
implications that have inevitably surfaced.
Wayne
Hall:
If
we
were
able
to
identify
people
in
advance
as
being
at
high
risk
because
they
possessed
a
set
of
genes,
then
that
might
have
adverse
effects on them in terms of the way others in their social environment
treat them. It might have effects if insurance companies take account of
that information or employers and so on.
Mary Gearin: But would addicts take any more responsibility for their own actions?
Our distinctly
unscientific sample of smokers told
us:
not
really.
If
a
test
came
out,
would
you
have
yourself
tested
to
see
if
you
had
that
gene?

2
Julie: Honestly, probably not.
Mary Gearin: Would
you want
your kids
to
take that test to
perhaps ware them off
smoking if they had that gene as well?



















John
Mackay:
Only
if
they
become
problem
smokers
I'd
probably
suggest
it,
yeah.
Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

【原文】

Claire Nolan: Hi. This is Claire Nolan.
Bill
Rodney:
Any
I
’
m
Bill
Rodney.
Today
we
’
ll
be
discussing
EQ
—
not
IQ.
EQ:
emotional intelligence. We've been hearing a lot about EQ lately, and in
fact you might have seen Daniel Goleman's best-selling book about it in
the
bookstore.
Your
emotional
intelligence
quotient
seems
to
include
both
intra-
and
interpersonal
relationships
—
in
other
words,
how
well
you handle your own emotions, and how well you respond to others.
Claire Nolan: Yes, but Bill, that's not exactly a new idea, is it? I mean
—
I know a lot
of old proverbs about thinking before you act, and that kind of thing.
Bill
Rodney:
That's
true,
but
the
term
itself
is
a new
one,
and
it
shows
that
people
have realized, the way you control your feelings is just as important as
your
education
—
maybe
even
more
important.
But
what's
really
interesting and the focus of today's session is: Can you learn EQ? We'll
be
talking
to
three
people
today
—
all
educators,
in
their
own
way
—
to
get their perspective on it. Our first guest is Betty Cortina. Betty, you're
an elementary school teacher. Do you really think that some kids have
higher EQ's than others?
Betty
Cortina:
Oh
sure!
Even
at
five
or
six
years
old,
some
of
the
kids
tend
to
be
much
more
patient
and
easy-going
than
others.
And
then
others
are
prone
to
shout
and
make
a
big
fuss.
I
mean,
I
don't
want
to
make
it
sound as if it's bad to be spirited, or anything, but if you can't control
your emotions, even at that age, you can have a lot of problems.
Bill Rodney:

Like what?
Betty Cortina: Well, if you can't deal with setbacks, you don't make progress; and if
you're always impatient, your peers don't like you.
Bill Rodney: Can you give us an example?
Betty Corrina: Sure. One example is how kids deal with frustration. Imagine a child
who is having trouble doing a math problem. She gets frustrated with
the
problem,
throws
her
pencil
down,
yells
angrily,

is
a
stupid

3
problem! I hate it!
handle
the
situation
better.
She
might
try
different
ways
to
approach
the
problem,
or
ask
for
help,
and
so
on.
And
she
will
be
more
successful because she won't let her negative feelings get in the way of
her task.
Bill
Rodney:

I
guess
I
can
understand
that,
but
my
question
is:
Can
you
learn
to
have a higher EQ?
Let’
s see, our next guest is Jim McDonald. Do you
want to respond to that question?

Jim
McDonald: Yes.
Well, as
you know,
I run management training programs
for a
bank here in the city, and I agree this EQ idea is definitely important.
Let
’
s
face
it:
When
the
going
gets
tough,
it
’
s
much
better
for
an
employee
to
have
a
positive,
enthusiastic
attitude
than
to
dwell
on
failures. But what I find is that some people just take life in stride and
other people don't.
I mean, of course
you can point them in the right
direction
—
that's
what
I
try
to
do
in
my
seminars
—
but
some
people
never learn to improve their EQ.
Betty Cortina: No, I disagree. Kids can be taught to have patience and not to give up
when things go wrong. They learn to respond well to their emotions.
They learn how to sit still and listen, and how to respect others. And I
don't believe we are born with a high emotional intelligence quotient. I
think we have to learn those skills.
Jim McDonald: Okay, so maybe you can teach children, but frankly, I don't see how
adults can ever change. I mean, I work with a lot of managers, and the
good ones are sharp, perceptive people who respond well to change. I
don't think the others can learn that.
Bill Rodney: Why not?
Jim McDonald: Well, part of the problem is that people with a low EQ have a difficult
time
seeing
how
their
behavior
affects
other
people.
They
see
no
reason to change. Their behavior has negative effects
—
for themselves
and
for
others
—
but
they
don't
see
it
that
way.
They
tend
to
blame
other
people
for
the
problems
they
are
having.
People
like
this
just
don
’
t work well with other people. I
’
d say they have a lower EQ and
they
’
ll probably never adjust their behavior.

Task 4

’
s success was also his success instead of

Bill
Rodney:
Our
third
guest,
Ian
Davis,
is
a
marriage
counselor.
Ian,
from
the
perspective of a marriage counselor, can adults change their EQ's?
Ian Davis: Yes. I am a psychologist and I work with couples, married couples, who
are having problems. From what I can see, some people, adults, I mean,
can change their EQ's.
Bill Rodney: How so?
