（unit 5 P160 Cloze） AIDS is a terrible disease. It poses a threat (1) to all the human beings without caring whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. But what is at risk (2) 1 / 7
now is not just the people infected (3) with the disease. Human civilization itself is being threatened. This is because the whole society tolerates both ignorance of and prejudice (4) against HIV or AIDS. Once diagnosed (被诊断) as HIV-positive, the victims are isolated (5) or treated as outcasts. They are believed to have contracted (6) something evil or to have entered some alien state of being. AIDS.艾滋病是一种可怕的疾病，对所有的人类都构成了威胁，不管你是白人还是黑人，男性还是女性，同性恋还是直男，年轻还是年老。但是现在面临的不仅仅是人类感染艾滋病的风险，由于整个社会对艾滋病毒或艾滋病的无知和偏见的容忍，人类文明本身也受到威胁。一旦被诊断为艾滋病毒阳性，受害者就会被孤立或者被遗弃。他们会被认为感染了邪恶的东西或者变成了某种怪异的生物体。As a result, these poor people have to shelter (7) the flickering candle of life from the cold wind of rejection by their family members. When they die of the disease, their families dare not whisper the word AIDS. They just grieve (8) silently. Thus, our prejudice and silence have helped the disease along (9). 因此，从家庭成员的抗拒冷漠中，这些可怜的人不得不掩藏了生活中的闪烁亮光。当他们死于艾滋病时候，他们的家人没有勇气轻声说出“艾滋病”这个词，他们只是独自地悲伤。因此，我们的偏见和沉默助长了疾病的蔓延。 Now HIV marches firmly towards AIDS in more than a million American homes, littering its pathway (10) with the bodies of the young. 现在在一百多万美国家庭里，艾滋病病毒正稳步地向艾滋病迈进，沿途丢弃的尽是年轻人的尸骨。To guard against the disease effectively, we must take this issue (11) seriously. People should be educated to bring (12) those negative attitudes to an end. We should not see AIDS as something evil (13) and the patients as alien. Instead, we should concern ourselves with (14) the prevention of the disease and render strong support (15) to the patients with more compassion. Only in this way can we have a better chance of winning the war against为了有效地对抗这个疾病，我们应该严肃地对待这个话题。人们应该接受教育，把所有的消极的态度抛弃掉，我们不该视艾滋病为邪恶的东西，也不该视艾滋病人为怪异的生物体。相反地，我们应该关注疾病的预防，并带着更多的同情心给予病人更多的支持。只有靠这种方式，我们才有更好的机会去赢得对抗艾滋病的战争。
(P256 unit 8 Cloze) When we are suddenly transplanted (1) abroad, we may lose the peace of mind we need for everyday work and life. All the familiar cues (2) disappear including words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms. We reject the foreign environment and slip into the tendency (3) to believe that our culture, race and nation form the center of the world. The frustration (4) and anxiety that can be attributed (5) to the loss of familiar signs are symptoms of culture shock.当我们突然置身国外的时候，我们可能会失去我们每日工作和生活所需要的心灵的平静。熟悉的暗示都消失了，包括语言、手势、面部表情、风俗习惯或社会行为标准。我们排斥外国环境，并且往往相信我们的文化、种族和民族构成了世界的中心。这种由于熟悉标志的消失产生的挫败感和焦虑感就是文化冲击的症状。One of the effective cures (6) for this ailment is to know something about the nature of culture and its relationship to the individual. We should bear in mind that we are born with the capacity (7) to learn culture and use it. The culture of any people is the product of history and is built up (8) over time. It is by means of (9) culture that we learn to adapt to the physical environment and to the people with whom we associate.这种病的一种有效治疗办法就是了解文化的本质，以及文化与个体的关系。我们应该牢记我们生来拥有学习和使用文化的能力。任何人类的文化都是历史的产物，是经过漫长的时间才得以积累形成。通过文化，通过文化学会适应周围的物质环境，学会和周围的人打交道。 Therefore, it is due to (10) our own lack of understanding of other people’s cultural background and of the means of communication that we can not orient ourselves to (11) the host country. Another quick way to get over (12) culture shock is to know the language. Once we are equipped with the language, a whole new world of cultural meanings opens up (13) for us. We will begin to find out not only what people do and how they do things, but also what their interests are因此，因为自己对其他民族的文化背景缺乏理解或者缺乏与对方沟通的方式,，我们没有

办法使自己熟悉所到之国另一种快速克服文化冲击的方法是熟悉那门语言。一旦你学会了那门语言，一个蕴含各种文化意义的新世界就向你敞开了大门。你开始发现人们做些什么、做事情的方式以及令他们感兴趣的事情。 In addition (14), it helps us to be a participant observer by joining the activities of the people and sharing in their responses, whether this be a carnival, a religious ritual, or some economic activity. 另外，参加人们举办的各种活动，不管是嘉年华会、宗教仪式还是经济活动，在活动中仔细观察，和人们一起喜怒哀乐，这都有好处。
