  On June 5, 1981 the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, U.S.announced the presence of a rare, infectious disease in five American homosexuals(同性恋).Soon doctors were finding similar cases all over the country and the world.The AIDS epidemic(流行病)had officially begun.By 1983 it was clear that AIDS had spread around the world.More than twenty years later, AIDS has left twenty-six million dead and another forty million infected. AIDS has become the worst medical disaster ever experienced by mankind.

  Hundreds of young people between the ages of 20 and 45 died each week during the early years of the U.S.AIDS.More than 600,000 cases of AIDS have been reported since 1981 in the United States, and it is estimated that there may be as many as 900,000 Americans infected with HIV.

  Though the rate of HIV infections continues to increase in the United States, the number of AIDS cases has fallen sharply since 1996, when antiretroviral drugs came onto the market.Unfortunately, the AIDS epidemic continues today in Africa and much of Asia, where antiretroviral treatment is not available and health care is far from enough.AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, and the No.1 cause of death due to infectious disease.

  HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was first separated in 1983 by a team at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.That discovery made it possible to develop a test for AIDS and trace back to victims who may have died before doctors were aware of the disease.

  However, scientists still don't know exactly how and where AIDS started.Finding the source of AIDS could be important in developing a vaccine(疫苗)and be important in mapping the future course of the epidemic.

This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months. And    19   ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.
