牧师说他们的教堂迫切需要修理。

People often ask me why I wear a red ribbon. Some people ask the question simply to find out what the ribbon means,but other people are really asking a hidden question：they wonder what experiences in life has moved me so that I would want to wear a red ribbon,a visible reminder to all who see me of the continuing battle against HIV and AIDS. They are asking why I,a white female in the heart of the conservative South,would choose to take an often unpopular stand,instead of quietly going about my life. Unknowingly,they are asking about my husband,Bob Johnson.

Bob Johnson made me his wife,but AIDS made me his widow. He died in my arms at 1 ：45 a.m. on Monday,May 17,1993,in the little white house we had moved into only two days earlier. In our private final hours,I sang to him,prayed over him,and recited the 23rd psalm over and over as I carefully brushed his long hair.

"Go ahead,sweetie," I whispered as I held him, "it's okay to let go now. " As I kissed his lips for the last time and felt his life leave his body,my hand stayed on his chest,where his body heat remained the longest. Another brave warrior in the fight against AIDS had fallen.

Now I wear the red ribbon. I am still alive,still able to carry the message about the reality and urgency of AIDS and how HIV can be prevented. I carry this message for those whose voices can no longer be heard but whose presence can still be felt. What message is that? I carry the message―to all who will hear and listen―that HIV/AIDS is,at this point,100% fatal ... but it is also 100% preventable.

The gay community,for more than a decade,has shown us an incredible example of what unconditional love and honest,AIDS prevention education can accomplish. What about the rest of us? Where are the mainstream churches? I have been disppointed by stories of persons protesting AIDS funerals with hateful signs or quietly asking HIV-infected families to leave.

When I wear the red ribbon,I am demonstrating my compassion and care for people living with HIV/AIDS,my determination that those who have already died from AIDS-related causes will not be forgotten,my support for the ongoing efforts of all AIDS service organizations and researchers,my desire to educate others about how to stop the spread of this plague.

There are those who believe the red ribbon has lost its meaning,that it's only an empty symbol now. I disagree!As long as my red ribbon gives someone the opportunity to ask me a question about AIDS,or gives someone the strength to go through another day encouraged by this small sign of support and solidarity (团结) ，then its message is very clear; The red ribbon simply means that I care.

( ) 1. The writer chose to wear a red ribbon .

C. to offer the help for those who are infected with HIV/AIDS

D. Bob was infected with AIDS by blood transmission and drugs.

( ) 3. What word can be used to take the place of the "underlined" word "plague" in the passage?

A. disaster B. rumour C. message D. sadness

( ) 4. Which will be the best title for the passage?

A. I Wear a Red Ribbon B. AIDS Made Me a Widow
