Nelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans he is a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races(种族), despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist government.
Mandela who won the nation’s first all-race elections in 1994, retired 1999. But he remains as popular as ever.
“He’s loved by all people, whether you’re while or black, whether you’re young or old,” said Ali Bacher, South Africa’s famous cricket (板球) athlete.
His popularity has inspired an entire national industry. His portrait(肖像) has appeared at many places, including on some goods. His face has appeared on a South African coin and some business leaders hope to build a statue(雕像) for him --- the Statue of Freedom. It would stand taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty.
His popularity is similar to that of John F. Kennedy with US or Winston Churchill in Britain, but few politicians in this times have achieved his level of admiration, said Tom Lodge, head of the political science department of the University of the Witwatersrand.
“Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career. He’s a very, very clever man.”
“Through the ages, the human race has had its icons --- men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generations,” The Mail and Guardian Weekly said. “In our generation, the gods presented us Nelson Mandela.”

infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have
been gifts in my life. 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 medication 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 fastened 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 (大为
惊讶) 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 deadly disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little of a dynamo like Tyler. He grew
quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became 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 beckoned 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."
B. He got a tube in his chest.
C. His mother was infected with HIV.
D. He had inserted a pump on his back.
B. because there was a pump in it, which could help with his disease.
C. because the doctor and his mom asked him to wear it
D. because he had no right to choose but to wear it.
B. Tyler's mom loved him and was unwilling to tell him about the disease
C. Tyler's mom is as weak as him because of the disease.
D. Tyler loved his mom very much.
B. Because his mother wanted him to dress in red.
C. Because he wanted his mother to be happy.
D. Because his mother can spot him at once.
B. Having a positive attitude will keep you from the deadly disease.
C. Even a child can teach us a lot and be respected.
D. Everyone should have great courage to face the problems.

He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda (1904-1973).
Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.
However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.
In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair’’. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.
Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed in his work.
