My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and  21  those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again  22  at the pier (码头) waving good-bye to my father as his  23  pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of  24 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of

 25  in the new environment again.

Throughout the years of changing  26 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my  27  and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while  28  some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the  29  which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.

 30  she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother,  31 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and  32 .

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,  33  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability (无能) to  34  a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this  35  into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a

chance to  36  another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a  37  to rearrange furniture, make curtains and  38  pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.

No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a  39  attitude.She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so  40  all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

AIDS’ Threat to Asia Grows

NEW DELHI----Just a few years ago, Mala was a typical middle-class Indian housewife. She cooked, cleaned and looked after her two small children.

Last year, her life took a tragic turn. Her husband died of AIDS; she was found out HIV-positive and her mother-in-law took her children away from her, saying they would get the disease. “When friends dropped for a visit, she would introduce me, saying, ‘She is my son’s widow. She has AIDS,’” said Mala. AIDS is now described as “explosive(炸药)” around the world. A study of a hospital in the port city of Durban in South Africa, where the world’s biggest and Africa’s second AIDS conference opened last Sunday, found that almost half the beds in medical wards (病房) were occupied by AIDS patients.

South Africa has one of the world’s fastest growing HIV infections, with 1,700 people infected daily, adding to the 4.3 million, or 10 percent of its population, living with HIV. Until now, Asia has been more successful in holding the AIDS virus than Africa, where the disease has killed about 12 million people.

AIDS is now threatening to surround many of Asia’s poverty-stricken countries. Countries in Asia, such as Cambodia, and Thailand, have HIV infection speeds over 1 percent. But the low speeds hide huge numbers of infected people, because of the population base.

In India, for example, 3.7 million are infected, more than in any other country except South Africa. In China, an estimated 860,000 people (the actual number may be a little larger), mainly drug users, live with HIV/AIDS. Gordon Alexander, a senior advisor for UN AIDS in India, estimates that the number hit by AIDS in Asia will climb about eight million over the next five years from about six million.

In many Asian countries, the battle against HIV is a social and cultural one against public discussion of sexual health put a nationwide media campaign into action to limit the speed of HIV through unsafe sex. Brenton Wong, an official for Singapore’s Action for AIDS, says the actual HIV incidence in the city state of 3.9 million people is at least eight times higher than official data. “Shame and deny is still very, very common so people are afraid to get tested and many times won’t even tell their families if they test positive,” said Wong.

We can conclude from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph that ______.

    A. The official data always tell lies and cheat people to hide the truth.      

    B. 3.9 million people in Singapore suffered from AIDS.     

    C. Singapore has a population of 3.9 million  

    D. The number of people infected with HIV is at least eight times larger than that of the AIDS patients in Singapore.

It is judged that there are ______ people hit by AIDS in Asia or so.

    A. 4.3 million      B. 6 million   C. 8 million   D. 3.7 million

According to the passage, the main reasons that AIDS spread in Asia is through_______. 

    A. blood    B. unsafe sex       C. love     D. drugs

Which of the following statements is not right?     

    A. The battle against Aids in many Asian countries is against their culture and

social customs. 

    B. Though the HIV infection in Asia develops with low speed, the infected number

is still quite large compared to other continents.     

    C. India has the second largest number of HIV infected people.  

    D. Aids might affect the poverty-stricken countries more severely.
