【题目】In my dual(双重的) profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life.They have taught me so many things,but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler.

Tyler was born infected with HIV;his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications(药物) to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back.Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.

Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard,wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard,she could quickly spot him.

This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler.He grew quite ill and,unfortunately,so did his HIV-infected mother.When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive,Tyler's mom talked to him about death.She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too,and that s he would be with him soon in heaven.

A few days before his death,Tyler beckoned10) me over to his hospital bed and whispered,“I might die soon.I'm not scared.When I die,please dress me in red.Mom promised she's coming to heaven,too.I'll be playing when she gets there,and I want to make sure she can find me.”

【题目】People are increasingly discontent(不满的) with the rich people, as is said in a new online poll(投票). The poll by the China Youth Daily in cooperation with Sina.com has highlighted(突出,强调) the apparent discontent over the country's widening income gap. Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe society's rich, the top responses were "extravagant"(奢侈的), "greedy" and "corrupt”. About 57 percent of those polled said that "extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed closely by "greedy”.

Sarcastically(讽刺的是), despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that richer people should be "socially responsible”. Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being "smart”. Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.

The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor”. A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China's Gini coefficient —— an indicator of the wealth divide —— rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.

An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth. The income disparity(不一致、差异) of the country is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in January, said.

It is hoped that the richer should be more socially responsible to give aid to those who need help to make this income disparity smaller and smaller and that the poorer should have a friendlier attitude towards the rich.
