Text 2 In the United States, about 750,000 persons have suffered AIDS. More than one half of them have died. But doctors say evidence (证据) also shows there is no reason for persons to become terrified (惊吓) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities. A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal (杂志) of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets. Doctors said only one family member — a five-year-old girl — got the AIDS
virus. They note, however, that the girl's mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was bom with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is ne reason to punish aIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the aids virus is caried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective(fR 护性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental(牙科的) work, or other times when the patient may bleed In the united States, most AIDS patients are homosexual(同性恋的)men people taking drugs who used infected needles(Et ) and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the aidS virus also can be spread during heterosexual(异性的) relations. It can spread either from the man to the woman, or from the woman to the man 26. Doctors say there is no reason for people to be frightened about AIDS because A)it is not deadly B)few people are infected with AIDS C) the aids virus is not spread in every day social activities D)the AIdS virus is not spread during sex 27. The study of 101 family members who lived with AIDS patients shows that A)the aIdS is not spread by personal goods
virus. They note, however, that the girl's mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease. The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places.

American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective (保 护性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental (牙科的) work, or other times when the patient may bleed. In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual (同性恋的) men, people taking drugs who used infected needles (针头), and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spread during heterosexual (异性的) relations. It can spread either from the man to the woman, or from the woman to the man. 26.

outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids(4E), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. a large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes One reason that the modern home has made exotic(引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modem use of windows. In the past windows were used less often n buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in mov ing inside have been small! Some of the best suited varieties are the vines(藤本植物)Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree 31.
