The
AIDS
virus
is
carried
in
a
person's
body
fluids
(
体液
).
The
virus
can
be
passed
during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (
静脉
注射的
) drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant
(
怀孕的
) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.
Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or
attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by drinking glasses or
other
objects
used
by
such
persons.
Officials
say
no
one
has
caught
AIDS
by
living
with,
caring for or touching an AIDS patient.
There
are
several
warning
signs
of
being
infected
with
AIDS.
They
include
always
feeling
tired,
unexplained
(
无法解释的
)
weight
loss
and
uncontrolled
expulsion
(
排泄
)
of
body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red
areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.
However,
just
because
you
have
one
or
more
of
these
conditions
does
not
mean
you
have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor
may give you an AIDS blood test.
When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (
抗
体
) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus.
Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced
AIDS
antibodies.
It
cannot
tell
if
you
have
AIDS
or
if
you
will
ever
get
the
disease.
In
December (1988), the United States government approved (
批准
) a simpler and faster AIDS
blood test. The newer test can confirm (
证实
) the presence (
出现
) of the AIDS antibodies in
about five minutes.

11. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.
A) only from a man to woman

B) among those who use drug instruments
C) by shaking hands with someone who has the virus
D) by touching an AIDS patient

12. It is wrongly thought that ___________.
A) the AIDS virus can be passed during sex

B) the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her baby
C) the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected blood
D) one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease

3.
The warning signs of being infected with AIDS include ____________.
A) weight loss

B) too much expulsion of body wastes
C) the appearance of red areas of skin
D) a body temperature higher than a normal one

4.
_________ can show if one has AIDS.
A) Whether one has a defense method against AIDS

B) Whether one has unexplained weight loss
C) Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the body
D) The doctor's complete examination

5.

A) whether the defense method is damaged or not

One
summer
afternoon
Jean
and
Clothilde
Lestarquit,
an
elderly
couple,
visited
their
daughter
at
her
home
in
Lille,
France.
A
few
minutes
before
six
o'clock,
the
Lestarquits
decided to leave. They said goodbye to their daughter, walked to their car, and got in. They
expected a quiet, peaceful ride home. The ride, however, was anything but quiet and peaceful.
Mr. Lestarquit was
about to start the car when a man
with a gun jumped up from the
back seat. He held a gun to Mr. Lestarquit's head.

my wife out of the car.
The
man
agreed
to
let
Mrs.
Lestarquit
go.
After
she
was
safely
out
of
the
car,
Mr.
Lestarquit started the motor, and drove down the street. He was driving slowly, but his mind
was
racing.
Unarmed
and
81
years
old,
he
knew
he
could
not
fight
the
man.
He
knew
he
needed
help. Where
were
the
police?
As
he
drove
along,
he
looked
up
and
down
the
side
streets, hoping to see a police car. There was none in sight.
were speeding, there would be a police car on every corner.
Suddenly
Mr.
Lestarquit
realized
how
he
could
attract
the
attention
of
the
police.
He
pushed his
foot down on the
accelerator
（加速器）
of his
car, and the car sped
forward.


Mr. Lestarquit began driving like a madman. He drove 60 miles an hour on side streets,
ran red lights, and drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on
the wrong side of the road. Not one police officer saw him.
Obviously,
Mr.
Lestarquit's
plan
was
not
working.
He
needed
a
new
plan.
But
what?
Suddenly he remembered that the Lille police station was only a few blocks away.
he thought.
Then he pushed the accelerator to the floor. The car crashed
（撞）
through the doors
and stopped in the courtyard of the police station. Mr. Lestarquit yelled,
kill me!
the trigger
（枪扳机）
. The bullet went through Mr. Lestarquit's hand. Before the man could
pull the trigger again, Mr. Lestarquit opened the car door and fell to the ground. Officers from
the police station, who had come running when they heard the crash, quickly held the man. It
was 6:30 p.m.
—
exactly 35 minutes since the Lestarquits had left their daughter's house on a
quiet street in Lille.
It
seemed
to
Jean
Lestarquit
that
for
those
35
minutes
he
had
stepped
out
of
the
real
world and into an action film. There were so many things action films have
—
a man with a
gun, a hero, and a speeding car. It is fortunate for Jean Lestarquit that there was one more
thing most action films have: a happy ending.

6.

Lestarquit

Theirs is a modern love drama: They met on the Internet and fell deeply in love with
each other. They shared secrets, memories, feelings
—
even though they had never laid eyes
on each other. And now, the very technology that had brought them together was tearing them
apart.
“
Kevin” is a pleasing fellow —
quick with a smile, trustworthy. A security guard for a
hospital in northern Idaho, he keeps emergency room patients company and walks nurses to
their cars at night. He remembers the first day he went to the Internet. It was August 1995,
and the computer was in the hospital library. It wasn't long before he was spending most of
his free time in front of the screen.
It was purely by accident, Kevin says, that he discovered online pornography
（色情内
容）
.
First
he
looked
out
of
curiosity.
“
Each
time
I
thought
I
had
seen
it
all,
”

he
says,
“
some new sex practice popped up. Eventually, the online sex world came to take the place
of any real-
world contact with women. “I can be a little bit shy,” he says, “and this was an
alternative that kept me from feeling lonely.”

Then came a message from “Marie”, a young mother of three looking for
company on
an Internet singles site. Kevin fired off an immediate response, and the two began a dialogue
that would last two months before he made the 50-mile drive to meet her. A few months later,
they were married.
What Marie loved about Kevin was his kindness, his interest in her kids. What she didn't
know was that every time she was reading one of Kevin's love e-mails, he was at the other
end of the connection looking secretly at pornography sites.“I knew he was always online,”
Marie says.“But I thought that it was just because he was interested in meeting new people.”

Whenever Kevin was home, he was online, with the door closed. A few times, he called
her in to look at an especially “wild”site. She was annoyed but didn't worry until he turned
away from
her in bed.“Have you been looking again?”she would cry.

By January, Kevin knew he had a serious problem. He promised that he would never use
the computer at home. But there was still the machine at the hospital. Every night, he would
use
his
master
key
to
get
into
the
closed
library
and
favour
his
curiosity
as
never
before.
Sometimes, for his entire eight-hour work time, he would sit in front of the screen. When his
bosses asked him to look in on the library, where some “unusual”computer activity had been
noticed,
he
stopped
using
the
computer
for
a
month,
and
then
headed
straight
back
to
the
same place.
This
time,
though,
he
walked
into
a
trick.
Earlier
this
summer,
the
hospital
installed
cameras
and
software
that
recorded
Kevin's
every
mouse
（鼠标）
click.
On
June
27, his
bosses confronted him and took him to the police station nearby. He was kept in the station
for three days. Now Kevin lives under the continual watch of his wife and his boss.

11. It
is
________
that
brings
Kevin
and
Marie
into
love
and
marriage
and
then
possibly
separates them.


A) the Internet
B) Kevin's bosses
C) their love drama
D) the police
12. The phrase


A) appeared suddenly B) left quickly
C) returned quickly
D) moved quickly
13. In the first place Kevin was a man of ________.

B) dishonesty
C) lies
D) sympathy
14. We know for sure that by and by Kevin almost forgot his role ________ completely.


A) as a father
C) as a security guard
B) as a husband
D) as an actor
15. Which of the following statements is not true?
A) Kevin had seen Marie before their marriage.
B)
Before
their
marriage
Marie
didn't
know
Kevin
was
online
looking
at
some
pornography sites.

C) Had Kevin stopped looking online for pornography for ever, he would not have been
kept in the police station for three days.
D) The relationship between Kevin and Marie as husband and wife will remain the same
as before.
