Today's topic:
World AIDS Day is observed every year on December 1st.
Do you know AIDS？ AIDS is a terrible disease. Right now, it is a deadly disease and so far, it cannot be cured.There is no pill, no vaccine, no surgery to make you better. HIV and AIDS has decimated the world we live in, and things are only going to get worse.So it is called "super killer".
At last estimate by UNAIDS, 40 million people have been infected with AIDS around the world.Every minute, five people get infected with AIDS! It is terrible, isn't?
Red Ribbon
Do you know about this red ribbon?It is called the "AIDS Ribbon".On this day people wear red ribbons to show their support and to raise awareness. This started as a grassroots effort and there is still not one main manufacturer for the ribbons. The Red Ribbon united people to fight against AIDS.
You won't get AIDS if you:
work, eat and drink together with AIDS patients;
shake hands with them or hug them;
talk face to face with them;
use the same toilet as them;
swim with them.
What do you think about AIDS? Show us your ideas.
今日话题：
12月1日是世界艾滋病日。
你知道艾滋病吗？这是一种很可怕的、致命的疾病，至今无药可救。没有任何的药品、疫苗或者手术可以让病人好转。目前为止世界上已经有很多人感染了艾滋病，并且这趋势愈演愈烈。因此它被称为“超级杀手”。
据反艾滋病组织的最近一次统计数据，至今已有4千万人遭受感染，平均每5分钟就有人感染！很恐怖，对吗？
爱的红丝带
你知道红丝带运动吗？在今天，人们戴着红丝带来表示他们对艾滋病人的关心，并以此警醒世人。这是一场草根运动，至今也未成主流。红丝带将人们团结在一起共同抵制艾滋病。
请不要谈“艾”色变，如果你与艾滋病人一起：工作、吃饭、饮酒；握手或拥抱；面对面交谈；共用洗手间；游泳等，请放心，你并不会因此感染艾滋病。
你可以根据上面的资料，谈谈你对艾滋病的看法。

He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father's life—who was the main source of support for the family. Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother BECame his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
One late night, he suffered from diarrhea1 and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers GREw up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.
A similar misfortune befell a girl, too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic2 mental illness disappeared. So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene3 light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition: "I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly."
One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brother's arms are my arms；while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.
They had both endured the same ordeal4, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable5. Disasters can strike at any time. How you handle misfortune when confronted with it, is the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and escape from the ordeal, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
【中文译文】：
在一次事故中，作为家中顶梁柱的父亲永远地离去了，他也因此失去了双手。从此弟弟的手便成了他的手。为了照顾他，弟弟从小到大总是形影不离地跟在他的身边，他除了学会了用脚趾头写字做作业外，生活上完全不能自理。
有一次，他因肠胃不好，半夜起来要上厕所，于是他叫醒了弟弟。弟弟帮着他进了厕所后，就回宿舍躺下了。由于太劳累，弟弟闭上眼就睡着了。结果他在厕所里等了整整两个小时，才被查夜的老师发现。慢慢长大了的两兄弟也有了烦恼和争执，有一天弟弟终于提出要离开他，因为弟弟要和很多正常人一样需要过自己的生活。为此，他很伤心，不知如何是好。
无独有偶，另一个女孩也有着同样的遭遇。因为妈妈长期患有精神病，在一天晚上无故出走，爸爸去找妈妈了，家中便只留下她一人。她决定做好饭菜等爸爸妈妈回来吃，却不小心将灶台上的煤油灯打翻，结果双手便被大火夺走了。
虽然在外地读书的姐姐愿意照顾她，可倔强的她一定要自己照顾自己。在学校，她不但读书认真，更重要的是她学会了生活自理。她曾在一篇作文里写道：我幸福，虽然断了双手，但我还拥有一双脚；我幸福，虽然翅膀断了，但心也要飞翔……
有一天，他们被一家电视台邀请到了演播室。面对主持人，男孩表现出了对前途的迷茫，而女孩则对生活充满了热情。主持人要求他们分别在一张白纸上写一句话。他们分别用脚趾头夹起了笔，男孩写的是：弟弟的手便是我的手。女孩却写下了：翅膀断了，心也要飞翔。
他们俩都经受了同样的苦难，但不同的人生态度却决定了其生活的本质。是的，人生多变幻，苦难总是在不知不觉中骤然降临。如何应对苦难，是对你的性格的真正考验。面对苦难，如果选择抱怨与逃避，苦难就永远如影随形；但如果选择坚强，苦难便会化作甘泉，滋润美好的希望。
A young couple was becoming anxious about their four-year-old son, who had not yet talked. They took him to specialists, but the doctors found nothing wrong with him.
Then one morning at breakfast the boy suddenly blurted, "Mom, the toast is burned."
"You talked! You talked!" shouted his mother. "I'm so happy! But why has it taken this long."
"Well, up till now," said the boy, "things have been okay."

内容提要:
作者45岁时自学英语口语，只用了一年时间，就从“听不懂、说不了”进步到能当翻译，总结出了英语学习逆向法。十几年来，指导不同层次的人用逆向法学习英语，都取得了成功。本书就是作者自学和辅导别人学习的经验总结。
全书由两部分组成。第一部分介绍英语学习逆向法，首先叙述作者和其他人是如何通过刻苦努力学会英语的，生动可信，具有很强的说服力和感染力，有助于树立起“一定能学会英语”的信心。接着明确指出许多人屡攻英语不克的关键是急于求成和不重视基础知识，用“逆向法，，学习则可以有效地克服这些弊病。第二部分介绍如何用逆向法学习Special English(慢速英语)，详细介绍了起步、巩固和提高三个阶段的具体做法。
作者简介：
钟道隆教授
45岁自学英语，一年后成为口语翻译。
52岁自学电脑，成为cyberwriter，十几年写作与翻译了20余本书。
57岁学习和研究记忆方法，极大地提高了记忆力，能背出圆周率1000余位。
曾任某学院少将副院长。
他的成功给了我们许多启示：
●知识就是力量，只有刻苦学习才能成为对社会有用的人。
●掌握英语和电脑是信息化网络社会的要求，每一个现代人必须主动迎接时代挑战，努力学会英语和电脑。
●只要肯下功夫，什么时候学都不晚。学习方法干条万条，刻苦努力第一条。他45岁和52岁时利用业余时间刻苦学习，尚能学会英语和电脑，如果你只有15岁、25岁或35岁，只要努力，方法得当，一定可以取得比他更大的成绩!
●只有重视基本功才能事半功倍，急于求成则欲速不达，事倍功半。
●好的记忆力不是天生的，是可以通过后天努力得到的。普通人的记忆潜力无穷，扎扎实实地学一些记忆方法，无穷的记忆潜力一定可以转化为极高的现实记忆力。
本书读者对象为大中学生、英语自学者、学生家长、教育工作者。

Hurrying my 11-year old daughter to school, I made a right turn at a red light when it was prohibited.
"Uh-oh," I said, realizing my mistake. "I just make an illegal turn."
"I guess it's all right." my daughter replied,
"The police car behind us did the same thing."
