QuoteBan Ki-Moon: Speaking at the "Light for Rights" on World AIDS Day held at the Washington Square Park Memorial Arch in New York, he said: "We are here tonight to denounce the discrimination they (people living with HIV/AIDS) face —the fear and stigma, the shame and rejection, the threat of losing their jobs ... For too long and in too many places, too many people have been pushed beyond the reach of prevention and treatment, care and support ... We must respond by shining the full light of human rights on the challenge ... I call on all countries to dismantle legal frameworks that institutionalize discrimination against people living with HIV and people are at most risk of infection."2. AIDS:Acquired Immune Deficiency SyndromeAIDS, a very serious illness which spreads very fast today, had been one of the most horrible killers of human beings.AIDS is caused by HIV virus. Now in the world there is no useful medicine that can cure AIDS, but it spreads only in limited ways. AIDS spread in three basic ways: first, through sexual intercourse; second, through contact with diseased blood; and third from an HIV mother to baby. And people who areintravenous drug users may infect HIV virus too.The actual patterns of spreading of the AIDS virus change from culture. People should do something to solve the problem and prevent the spreading of AIDS in the world. People can do something in these ways: first, a program should be established to educate citizens about AIDS, letting people know what causes it and how it spreads, so that people can know it clearly and prevent it easily, instead of being afraid of it; second, increase scientific technology to fightagainst AIDS; third, make healthy and civilized social environment, so there will be less sexual intercourse actions, and less drug users.Although AIDS is very horrible, we shouldn't fear, worry or have prejudices about it, we should confront it and fight against this devil.III. Audiovisual supplementsWatch a video clip and answer the following questions.1. What is the librarian trying to do?2. Why does the man sitting in front of Andrew leave the desk?Answers to the Questions:1. He is trying to persuade Andrew into using the private research room.2. He thinks that Andrew carries the HIV and he is afraid of the disease.Video Script:Librarian:Sir, this is the supplement. You’re right. There is a section on HIV-related discrimination.Andrew: Thank you. Thank you very much.Librarian: We do have a private research room available.Andrew:I’m fine right here. Thank you.Librarian: (sigh) Wouldn’t you be more comfortable in the research room?Andrew: (cough) No. Would it make you more comfortable?Joe:Oh … Er … Beckett, how are you doing?Andrew: Counselor… huh.Librarian: Whatever, Sir.Figurant: Excuse me.Section Two Global ReadingI. Text analysis1.What is the theme of the text?Dealing with AIDS strengthens the bond of friendship and encourages emotional and mature growth.2.What is the style of the text? Give your reasons.The style of the narrative is colloquial and simple because many simple words, colloquial expressions and concise sentences are used, which are easy and smooth to read.Colloquial words:about, cried, go, let, so, sure, thingsSimple or colloquial phrases:blew it off, living life up, feel so bad, had the disease, stuck it out, make it through, etc.II. Structural analysis1.How is this narrative story organized?The narrative is organized in the chronological order with the activities and events related in the true story.2. Work out the structure of the text by completing the table.Paragraph(s) Main idea1 This paragraph gives the instructive message of the story, and makes clearthe specific date when AIDS became known to the writer.2-4 This part provides an account of how the writer came to know the fact that his friend was suffering from AIDS, how he felt,what attitude he adopted,and how others responded to it.5-7 This part tells us that the writer maintained an active and positive attitude towards his friend.8 This paragraph mentions the specific date that marked the end of David’slife, describes the writer’s feelings towards David’s death, and tells us howthe writer keeps his friend’s memory alive.Section Three Detailed ReadingText IDealing with AIDS1.Dealing with AIDS strengthens the bond of friendship, encourages emotional andmature growth. Before the sixteenth of October 1995, I was the most carefree person in the world. I had no worries and was just living life up. I never thought that anything could happen to me or my friends. We were invincible. That is, until the word AIDS came into my life.2.For 10 years David and I were the best of friends. Then we got to high school and thingsstarted to change. We were in different classes, so we didn’t hang out as much. It bothered me but I thought that we were both just growing up, and there were more friends where he came from. Then I began to notice that he wasn’t in school a lot, and was sick more than usual. So I called him and he hung up on me. I didn’t know what to do, so once again I blew it off. Then one day I saw David in the mall and I confront ed him as to why we were not friends any more. He pulled me aside and broke down in tears and said that he was dying. I didn’t believe him.Sure, I had heard about AIDS, but hat it was a homosexual disease and it didn’t affect young people, so I said that it was a sick joke and left.3.When I got home things started to make sense. I ran to my room and cried. David wasonly 17; he couldn’t die. Then I felt so bad that we had grown so far apart. I called David, asking him to come over so we could talk. When he came over I saw a seriousness in him that I had never seen before. He looked so old, too old for his age. I asked how it happened.David had had unprotected sex once and now had to pay with his life. I was so angry. I have never felt so powerless in my whole life. When things had gone wrong before this, I could always rely on my parents to make things better. There was nothing that they could do this time. I had to handle it all on my own.4.David and I became very close again, and it seemed that I was the only one there forhim. David made the decision to tell people about his disease. There was no use in hiding it;sooner or later people would find out. People looked at him as if he had a plague, and our friends from school wanted nothing to do with him. Soon after that they wanted nothing to do with me. Al l of a sudden I felt that I had the disease. I didn’t know what to do. My whole life was changing so fast that I couldn’t keep up. Once again I was growing up and realized that our friendship meant everything to me. Also, I couldn’t turn my back on him when he needed me the most. So I stuck it out and lost most of my friends. The ones that still talked with me didn’t come too close in fear that they would catch the disease.The thing was, I didn’t even have AIDS, so why did my friends treat me like this? I was being treated this way because teenagers are not used to dealing with situations like this, and don’t know how to react. So how could I blame them since I would have done the same thing?5.As time went on, David became very ill. There was nothing that I could do but watchhim die. David found out that he had full-blown AIDS. This to me meant death was sure to come and all too quickly. I wasn’t ready to let him die, not yet anyway. There were so many things that I wanted to do and say, but couldn’t find the words.I went to doctor after doctor with him, and saw him go through so much. Everyone said that I must keep a positive attitude for his sake, because attitude means everything. So, in times of stress I was the one that had to keep things together. I pushed all my emotions aside and was strong for him.6.My mom had had a trip planned for the whole family for some time now, and stillwanted to go. She thought that the trip would do me good; she said that I was not the one that was dying. I couldn’t beli eve that sh e said that to me, but to make her happy I went. We were gone for about two weeks, and when I came back the first thing I did was go to see David.That was when I saw AIDS for the first time. I didn’t even recognize him. David had lost weight, had purple l esions all over his body, and was very pale. He couldn’t even get up when he saw me. He was bedridden. I still had to be the strong one and keep everything in. I had brought him stuff from the ocean, his favorite place. We talked about my trip and anything else we could think of. Then he fell asleep because he could no longerstay awake for long periods of time.7.On the second of May 1996, David was put in hospital. This gave him the feeling thatthere was no more hope left, and that he was going to die. I still had to maintain my positive outlook for him. He needed that in me. One day he looked at me and said, ―Faye, I am dying;let’s accept that and deal with it. I know what I did was wrong and now I have to deal with it.All I want you to do is to reme mber me, enjoy life and be careful.‖ For the first time in front of him, I cried. I knew that it wouldn’t be long before he was gone forever. He shouldn’t have to deal with this at such a young age. Towards the end of May he became so sick that the hospital staff had a bubble around him, so he wouldn’t catch our bad germs. I hated to see him like that, and every day it became worse. I had come to realize that any day now he would die. At night I would wonder if he would make it through. School was over now, so I spent every hour I could in the hospital. He was everything to me. I felt bad for the time that we had lost and how I wasn’t even going to fight for our friendship.8.The fifth of June, 1996 marked the end of my best friend David’s life. He wentpeacefully. That was a comfort all in its own. In a way I was glad that it was over, for he was no longer in pain. All the emotions that I had held in came rushing out as I realized that I would never see David again. His mother said that I had kept him alive and that she was grateful that I was her son’s last friend. It hasn’t been a year yet, but I have done so much since then that I am no longer that carefree teenager. I now educate people about AIDS, which to me is keeping David’s memory alive. Eventhoug h David is gone, he is still with me and always will be in mind and spirit.Words and ExpressionsParagraph 1Questions:1) What does the first sentence of Paragraph 1 tell us?It points out the significance of dealing with AIDS,which is the theme of the text.2) The last sentence of Paragraph 1 is a sentence fragment. It is actually part of the precedingsentence. Why does the author separate them from each other?By separating them from each other, the writer succeeds in accentuating the two parts of the sentence with more information. It is precisely for the purpose of emphasis that a sentence is divided into two or more than two parts by means of full stops.Words and Expressions1. strengthen: vt. to make something stronger or more effective, or to become stronger or more effectivee.g. The wind strengthened during the night.夜里风刮得更大了。

9我是否摔了个托盘,坐在教室的哪个位置,甚至是否走错了教室,有谁会在乎呢?没有人在乎。这不像在中学。在大学里,这些都无关紧要。我完全可以按自己的意愿行事。
10一旦意识到我不必考虑别人的期望,只要自己满意就行,我感到释然。我开始把大学看作一个美妙的实验。我稍稍改变了自己的穿着,开始欣赏爵士乐,还认定自己喜欢光着脚走路。
11在接下来的大学生活里,我不再试图做出什么姿态,而是顺其自然。大学,在我看来,也许是唯一一个犯错误可以得到完全谅解的阶段(包括踩到番茄酱,摔了托盘)。于是,我利用这个机会来体验我认为自己可能会犯的所有过失。
12大学毕业已经三年了,我仍然时有过失。其中的一些过失我甚至还是得到了原谅。

大学跨文化英语综合教程IUnit4PrettyGirl课文翻译Reading & DigestingPretty GirlRick BraggNever give up on anything, least of all a dog.1 Her name was perfect.2 She came to them in the dead of night, in the cold. She was more than half dead, starved down to bones, her hair completely eaten away by mange. She had been run off from more than one yard when she finally crept into an empty doghouse in the trees beyond mother’s yard. At least she was out of the wind.3 They found her, my mother and brother, in the daylight of the next day. They could not even tell, at first, she was a dog.4 “And it broke my heart,” my mother said.5 They did not call the vet because she knew what the vet would do.The dog was too far gone to save; any fool could see that. My mama lives in the country and has to run off two wandering dogs a week, but this time,she said, “I just couldn’t. She couldn’t even get up.” How do you run off a dog that cannot stand?6 The broken-down dog had stumbled on two people who hate to give up on anything, even a month-old newspaper. They save batteries that have not had a spark of anything in them for a long, long time. My mother keeps pens that stopped writing in 1974. My point is, there is always a little use, a little good, a little life left in anything, and who are they to decide when something is done for good.7 My brother Mark looked at her, at her tragic face, and named her.8 “Hey, Pretty Girl,” he said.9 It was as if he could see beyond the ruin, or maybe into it.I don’t know.10 Her hips were bad, which was probably why she was discarded in the first place, and her teeth were worn down. Her eyes were clouded. But Mark and my mother fed her, gave her water, and bathed her in burned motor oil, the way my people have been curing the mange for generations.They got her looking less atrocious, and then they called the vet.11 The vet found she had heartworm. She was walking dead, anyway, at her age. It was then I saw her, still a sack of bones. It would be kindness, I told my mother, to put her down. She nodded her head.12 A month later, I pulled into the driveway to see a beautiful white German shepherd3 standing watch at the front of the house. It was not a miracle; her ailments did not magically cease. But together, my mother and brother had tended her and even let her live in the house. She ate people food and drank buttermilk out of an aluminum pie tin. She was supposed to last, at most, a few weeks or months. She lived three more years —decades, in dog years — following my brother to the garden to watch for snakes and listen for thunder.13 “I prayed for her,”my mother said. “Some people say you ain’t supposed to pray for a dog, but …”14 And then after the gif of years, Pretty Girl began to fail and died. She is buried in the mountain pasture.15 The garden is already planted. Some things were planted according to science,according to soil and weather. And some things were planted according to lore, the shape of the moon, and more. That is finewith me.There are things we cannot explain, things beyond science, like how a man could name a ravaged and dying dog and have her rise inside that,somehow, to make it true.参考译文Reading & Digesting漂亮姑娘瑞克·布拉格什么都不要丢弃,尤其是一条狗。

Reading & ReflectionThe Animal Rescue League1 The Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildlife Center has a rich history, filled with many triumphs and heartaches, beginning in the early twentieth century. In all the events that have occurred throughout the years,there is one common concern that the Animal Rescue League consistently stands for: the well-being and love of animals.2 The founding of the Animal Rescue League goes back to the year1909. On July 22, five animal loving Pittsburghers had a brilliant idea. With a shared concern for both animal welfare and public health, these men and women came together to form an organization that would devote itself solely to the welfare of animals in the Pittsburgh area. These Pittsburghers sought to return lost dogs and cats to their owners while at the same time giving temporary shelter and food to lost and starving stray dogs and cats.In addition, their organization would secure a merciful and painless death for animals that are old, injured, diseased or dangerous. This group also desired to conduct a refuge farm for horses, dogs and cats. So begins the story of the organization that is now known as the Animal Rescue League of Western Pennsylvania.3 Determined to reduce the suffering of all pets, the founders of the League sought to provide food, shelter and homes for abandoned and stray pets. Te founders, quickly faced with the reality of the situation they were in, realized that not all animals would be placed for adoption. At the same time, they were deeply distressed by the cruel disposal methods used by City officials at that time. Motivated to change the City’s ways, early League founders sought to contract with the City to perform this unpleasant task in the most humane way possible. The City felt that the Animal Rescue League had legitimate reasons in defending their devotion to animals,and on October 30, 1909, the charter for the Animal Rescue League was obtained.4 Finally, at the end of the year in 1909, the five founders (Elizabeth F. Holmes, M.E. Zydeman, A. M. Wadswoth, R. W. Kenney, and Mary Elizabeth Kenney) held the frst ofcial and documented meeting for the Animal Rescue League of Pittsburg (no “h”as the City name was then spelled). They convened downtown at the office of James G. Marks in the Federal Building. The constitution and bylaws were ratified and Mrs.F.F. Nicola was elected chairman of the League. The founders also elected nine other people at this meeting to serve a one-year term for the Animal Rescue League as Directors. As the Animal Rescue League was developing into a successful organization, the next step was to build a shelter to house the animals they longed to rescue.5 The founders’ dream to have a shelter to house animals finally came true in May of 1910 when the Animal Rescue League opened a small city shelter on lower Denniston Avenue in East Liberty. That same year,a generous benefactor donated a 16-acre farm to the League. The farm is located on Verona Road in Rosedale (6 miles east of the League shelter).The League began to remodel a barn for use as a kennel. At the boardmeeting held on June 21 that year, it was revealed that the farm in Rosedale was housing nine dogs and 25 cats while the City shelter had six dogs and two cats. Seven kittens and one dog had been “humanely killed.”The meticulously kept financial records showed revenue for the League in its first six months of existence. Te League’s revenuetotaled $2,103 (including ten cents for the sale of a biscuit). At the end of 1910, The League contracted with Dr. Martin, a local veterinarian, for his services and City operations were moved to larger quarters at Euclid and Kirkwood Streets in East Liberty.6 With the desire to be one of the only groups in Pittsburgh who took animals into their care, the Animal Rescue League secured a contract with the City “for the arrest, care, and disposal of unlicensed dogs found running at large in the streets” in November 1912. After nine long months of negotiation between the City and the Animal Rescue League, this contract was finally obtained. This was the first such contract in the country between a city and a voluntary humane society. For the next half century,Animal Rescue League employees served as “reluctant dog catchers,”bringing together all unlicensed dogs and a few cats that were handed over by residents as strays or unwanted animals.动物救援联盟动物救援联盟与野生动物保护中心的历史,丰富多彩。
