　　It comes without warning．It destroys people’s bodies．It kills almost 5,000 people around the world every day．This is AIDS – one of the most dangerous human diseases on the Earth．

　　December 1 is World AIDS Day．This year’s theme is “Getting to Zero：zero new HIV infections(传染), zero discrimination(歧视)and zero AIDS – related deaths”．

　　AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome(获得性免疫缺陷综合症)．It is caused by HIV – a virus(病毒)．HIV travels in people’s blood and affects T cells(细胞), a type of cell that helps the body fight diseases．It may take years for the virus to harm enough T cells for the infected person to get sick and develop AIDS．

　　HIV and AIDS spreads through blood-to-blood contact, sharing needles or having blood transfusions．A mother with HIV can give the virus to her unborn baby．Unsafe sex can also spread AIDS．

　　Right now there is no cure(治疗)for HIV or AIDS．However, new treatments can help people with the virus live longer．The “AIDS Cocktail(鸡尾酒疗法)”, uses several drugs mixed together like a cocktail．It can help people with HIV to live longer．

　　On World AIDS Day, people wear red ribbons to show they care about HIV and AIDS．American artists thought up the red ribbons in 1991．They chose red because it is bold and visible – symbolizing(象征)passion, a heart and love．

　　How much do you know about AIDS?

　　Q：Can you get AIDS from shaking hands with someone who has AIDS?

　　A：No．The HIV virus cannot live outside the human body．So social contact such as hugging(拥抱)or kissing an AIDS patient cannot give you AIDS, either．

　　Q：Can you get AIDS if mosquitoes(蚊子)bite(叮咬)you?

　　A：No．Mosquitoes do take blood from people but they do not exchange blood between people．

　　Q：If a dog bites someone with AIDS, and then bites you, can you catch AIDS?

　　A：No．AIDS only affects humans．Animals cannot catch this illness from people, and people cannot catch it from animals．

　　How many times have you told yourself that you can't do something?Well, probably you can do it．

　　Mary was eleven years old and she had something seriously wrong with her nervous system(神经系统)．She was not able to walk,．In fact, she could hardly move．Though she believed that she had a good chance to get well again, the doctor said that few people could come back to normal after getting this disease．The little girl didn't give up after she heard this．When she was lying in her hospital bed, she believed that no matter what the doctors said, her going back to school was possible．

　　She was sent to a health center．Every method was tried and none worked．However, she would not give up．It seemed that nothing could heat her．The doctors all admired her and taught her to imagine that she could make it．Every day Mary would lie there, doing her mental(心理的)exercise carefully．

　　One day, as she was imagining her legs moving again, it seemed as if a miracle(奇迹)happened：the bed began to move!“Look, what I'm doing!I can do it!I moved!”she cried．At the moment everyone else in the hospital was frightened．They were crying, rushing for safety．And everything was falling．It was an earthquake．But Mary believed that she did it, just as she had never doubted that she would get well．And now only a few years later, she's back in school．You see, to such a person who can shake the earth, such a disease is a small problem, isn't it?
