27、tle between science and AIDS. This is only one side of the story. Although it cannot be cured, AIDS is preventable. For those who have not caught the disease, the knowledge of preventive measures seems to be the most powerful weapon at hand. Since the discovery of the first AIDS patient in 1985, the
28、 number of HIV carriers is on an alarming rise in China and statistics show that young people are the more likely victims of AIDS. Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of 13 and 22, most of whom are students. If no measures are taken to protect these young people, it is almost ce
29、rtain that the threat of AIDS will be very real to them. There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission of AIDS. One of the most misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casual physical contact such as kissing, shaking hands or sharing food containers. Surveys a
30、nd investigations conducted in some universities and colleges show that half of those people questioned are not clear about how AIDS is transmitted, not to mention how it is prevented. This is the driving force behind the State Education Commissions decision to spread AIDS awareness information amon

35、ople Most Likely AIDS Victims C. AIDS Information Is Necessary D. AIDS A Deadly Disease B Mr Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route through the boot(
36、行李箱 ) Mr Johnson s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠 ) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldnt force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the w
37、indows because I knew water would come flooding in.” Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, “It was really a half penny
38、that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to loosen the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.” It took ten minutes to loosen the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples f
39、rom the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”
40、His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤 ), Mr Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night.

C The more I learn about how your oral health can affect your overall health, the more of a brushing fanatic(狂热者 ) I am.
44、 But it wasnt always that way. As a kid, I resisted tooth-brushing at bedtimewhat a bore! I remember my mom asking if Id brushed my teeth. Id say yes and shed say “Let me smell your breath,” so she could confirm it with a smell of Crest. But Id learned just to take a bite of toothpaste right from th
45、e tube, without even making contact with a brush. What a stupid mistake! Soon my teeth were full of holessomething Ive regretted ever since. In those days we werent much into preventive care at either the dentist or doctor. That wasnt part of the way of thinking of my parents generation, who grew up
46、 during the Great Depression. We didnt know how important it could be, either. “So much of dental care is reactionary.” says Mark Helpin, head of dentistry at Temple University. “Parents will bring their children in only if theres a problem.” Medical research has shown the dangers of tooth decay(蛀牙
47、) and gum disease, including heart disease, low birth weight in babies, dangerous and even deadly infections and now maybe Alzheimers disease（老年痴呆） .
