1、Reading Aids today,A news report from the 18th World Aids Day,人类关于艾滋病的确切记载大都始于1981年。在此之前，我们对这种疾病一无所知。我们不知道在20世纪的70年代，或者更遥远的过去，有多少人感染了艾滋病，也不知道它究竟起源于何处。艾滋病从一开始就被笼罩在重重迷雾之中。虽然众说纷纭，其中不乏合理的猜测和颇有科学依据的推论，但还没有哪一种观点能够得到世人的公认。 1981年，美国率先发现了艾滋病。四年后，艾滋病登陆中国。,中国的一些艾滋病监测人员起初的习惯是，哪一个地区出现艾滋病感染者，就在地图上那一部分打上红点；2000年，这

3、语是我们的母语，我们从学英语开始，就是用汉语来解释和记忆英语的。变“用汉语解释和记忆英语”为“用英语解释和记忆英语”。避免了将英语转换为另一种语言汉语所带来的不便和时间耗费。不但提高了效率，而且久而久之，有可能在头脑中建立起两种思维系统，即在汉语思维之外，还可以逐步建立起独立的英语思维系统。,用英语解释和记忆英语，本身就是在学习和运用英语，对提高英语语感和英语的阅读理解能力以及综合运用能力很有好处，是一举多得的好方法。真正做到了用英语品味英语，越品越有味；用英语理解英语，理解更准确。鉴于本环节初次尝试此种设置，可能有些学生对英语解释不能完全理解，为降低难度，英文解释后还配有中文解释，以方便学生
