Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death,she is still alive.The infection has progressed

32、 to the early stages of AIDS.Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS,a figure larger than the comb ined populatio ns of Australia .I rela nd and Paraguay.Accord ing to one UN report,Africa has 21 million of these victims.By the turn of the century that number could reach

33、 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history.Of the wold ' s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV .Of these,only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected.In some parts of Africa,25 percent of the adults are infect

38、educedBHow can a creature weigh ing over 5 tons and no rmally tak ing 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest Africa n country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further n orth, the desert elepha nt does just that.Although not rega

39、rded as a separate species from the Africa n elepha nt, the desert cous in differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walk ing across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher bran ches. They have shorter tusks（象牙）, and most impor

40、ta ntly. Ion ger trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert clephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families, They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a “ bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used whe

41、n badly n eeded. Desert elepha nts are careful feeders-they seldom root up trees and break fewer bran ches, and thus mai ntai n what little food sources are available. Yong elephants may even eat the dung （粪便）of the female leader of a group whe n facing food shortage.During drought they are un likel

42、y to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will in crease greatly.

The planet will become hotter and hotter.D. Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.CAlmost every child is scared of someth ing, from

46、mon sters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are com mon and no rmal does n' mean they can be take n lightly. Kids experie nee fears and phobias （恐惧症）much more stron gly tha n adults. And the in flue nee of the fear can be physical as well as psychological （心理的）.It

47、 can build up so they almost seem scared of everyth in g-a kind of childhood an xiety. Dr. Creswell says: “ Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happe n and lack con fide nce in his or her ability to deal with any challe nge. ” So don 'make the same old mistake of treat ing them as

48、if they 're silly for boing a “ scaredy cat” . Handing the fears is esse ntial.Childre n can be born n ervous an d., if you have such a baby, you 'll tend to preve nt them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, You 'll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to t

49、he child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeli ng into a phobia. In stead, you should en courage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: “

50、You should 'force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke （抚摸）it, and talk about the dog being frien dly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that ' good with childre n, of course-then you

51、 should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for being brave'.”69. Children ' s fears are usually taken lightly because.A. they will not develop into phobiasB. their in flue nee is psychologicalC. they exist widely in the worldD. they will disappear gradually70.

52、If we fail to help childre n to overcome fears, they will .A. make the same old mistakeB. overcome them by themselvesC. experie nee the worst of thingsD. grow up lack ing self-c on fide nee71. Accord ing to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, pare nts should .A. tell the child not to be a

53、fraid of itB. show the child how to approach itC. keep the child away from itD. ask the child to stroke itDOver the last 70 years, researchers have bee n study ing happy and un happy peopke and fin ally found out ten factors that make a differenee. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determ

54、 ined to a certa in degree by gen es. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.Money can buy a degree of happ in ess. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less differe nee.Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people a

55、re happier. But the link between money and happ in ess is complex. In the past half-ce ntury, average in come has sharply in ereased in developed coun tries, yet happ in ess levels have rema ined almost the same. Once your basic n eeds are met, money only seems to in crease happ in ess if you have m

56、ore tha n your frien ds, n eighbors and colleagues.“ Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better, ” con elude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors, for example-may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.In a research, Pro

57、fessor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires-not just for mon ey, but for frien ds, family, job, health-rose furthest bey ond what they already had, ten ded to be less happy tha n those who felt a smaller gap （差距）。In deed, the size of the gap predicted happ in ess about five times better tha n in come alone.“ The gap measures just blow away the only measuresof in come. ” says Michalos.Ano ther factor that has to do with happ in ess is age. Old age may not be so bad“Given all the problems of aging, how cou
