 On the fourblock walk to our house,I 1       my revenge. I would slam the front door upon entering,refuse to return her hug when she rushed over to me,and 2       never to speak to her again.

  The house was empty when I arrived and I looked for a note on the refrigerator that might explain my mother's 3      ,but found none. My chin quivered (颤抖) with a mixture of heartbreak and 4       . For the first time in my life,my mother had let me down.

  I was lying facedown on my bed upstairs when I 5        her come through the front door.

  "Robbie," she called out a bit 6      . "Where are you?"

I could then hear her rushing from room to room,wondering where I could be. I remained 7       . In a moment,she went up the steps―the sounds of her 8        quickening as she went up the staircase.

  When she entered my room and sat beside me on my bed,I didn't move but instead 9        blankly into my pillow refusing to acknowledge her presence.

  "I'm so sorry,honey," she said. "I just forgot. I got busy and forgot 10       and simple."

  I still didn't 11      . "Don't forgive her," I told myself. "She embarrassed you. She forgot you. Make her 12      ."

Then my mother did something completely 13       . She began to laugh. I could feel her trembling as the laughter shook her. It began quietly at first and then 14        in its velocity (速率) and volume. 

  I was doubtful. How could she laugh at a time like this? I rolled over and 15        her,ready to let her see the anger and 16        in my eyes.

  But my mother wasn't laughing at all. She was crying. "I'm so sorry," she sobbed softly. "I let you 17        I let my little boy down."

  She 18       down on the bed and began to weep like a little girl. I was dumbstruck (吓呆了) . I had never seen my mother cry. To my understanding,mothers weren't 19        to. I wondered if this was how I 20        to her when I cried.

  Prevention is a central issue being discussed at the sixteenth International AIDS Conference in Toronto,Canada. Twentyfour thousand delegates are at the conference which ends Friday.

  Bill and Melinda Gates called for faster research to develop preventions like microbicides for women to use when they have sex. The hope is that such products could protect against infection with the virus that causes AIDS.

  Melinda Gates said the way to "change this epidemic" is to put power in the hands of women. In southern Africa,for example,about sixty percent of adults living with HIV are women.

  Bill Gates said women today often have no choice but to depend on men not to infect them. "A woman should never need her partner's permission to save her own life," he said as the conference opened Sunday.

  The world's richest man said "stopping AIDS" is the top priority of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

  On Monday,former President Bill Clinton said more people would get tested for HIV if an aggressive effort took place to fight the stigma (耻辱) .But reducing fears of social rejection is not enough. Mister Clinton said people also need a guarantee they would get medicine to suppress (抑制) the virus.

  Researchers at the conference presented the results of a new study of HIV testing. It involved more than one hundred thousand people tested in California last year. Some received a quick test,with results in about twenty minutes. The others received a test that is more commonly used,the results takes two weeks.

  The researchers say twentyfive percent of the people who had the longer test did not return to learn the results. But that was true of only two percent of those who had the quick test.

  George Lemp of the University of California led the study. He says quick tests could be especially important in developing countries with limited transportation.

Speakers at the AIDS conference also discussed high rates of new HIV infections among black Americans. Julian Bond is chairman of the NAACP,a leading civil rights group. He said African-Americans must,in his words , " face the fact that AIDS has become a black disease."

  Slang is one of those things that everybody can recognize and nobody can define. Not only is it hard to wrap slang in a definition,it is also hard to distinguish it from such similar things as colloquialism,provincialism (方言) ,jargon (行话) or trade talk.

  Usually,slang tends to be transient. Thus parents are often laughed at by their children when this older generation uses slang which was considered to be the height of fashion in their own youth. Of course,the slang teenage children use today is very different from that of their parents. Indeed it might ever be some obscure (difficult to understand) foreign language as far as the older generation is concerned for it is totally beyond their understanding.

  It is often said that a slang term stops to be slang when it is "accepted by the dictionary". This is not really the case. You will find many slang terms listed in dictionaries are still slang terms. The term stops to be slang when it drives its respectable synonym (同义词) out of use,or when it acquires a meaning that cannot be expressed otherwise.

  Such things have happened. The term "hot dog" was once a slang term,but it couldn't be considered so now. No one in America would go up to a counter and order "a sausage sandwich". Similarly "varsity", originally a slang contraction (short form of a word) of university,has acquired a special meaning which only it expresses and is no longer slang. Jazz,when it means a particular kind of music,is scarcely a slang form,since there is no more respectable word meaning that kind of music.
