I figured I can ask him a quick question rather than try to have a meaningful conversation.[5]When they gave us our first sex education lecture, AIDS was not part of the speech. It was 1981, and although there might have been a couple of news stories about a new disease, AIDS wasn’t a real concern yet. Over the next couple of years, news stories about AIDS became very common,media was happy to report stories that confirmed whatever racial or sexual prejudices we may have had. There were stories about monkeys inAfrica were the source of the disease and it was most commonly believed that only sex between two men could spread the disease. The understanding was that the only protective steps someone would need to take were to stay away from gay(同性恋的) men and monkeys. This lack of serious information and education about the disease led to prejudice and unsafe sexual behavior by many.By the time I reached college, the cat was out of the bag, men and women having sex together could also be infected with the disease. Sex education had taken on a more serious meaning; now it was about protecting yourself from disease. Still the prejudices remained. Although common contact between individuals including kissing was considered safe, most were afraid to come in contact with others who had AIDS. It is commonly believed that prejudice kept the government from acting more quickly to offer better education and do scientifiC. Since that time, education and funding for research has improved, but prejudice and misinformation cost us a lot of time in getting started.(6)Let’s face it ; young people entering the workforce today are lazy.

All of a sudden, a slight man wearing a stocking cap leapedI thought was a gun, into my side. My heart beat fast, and I becamehands in the air, though he didn't tell me to do so or say anythingmy wallet. And then I just stood there with my heart poundingbe an eternity.

I didn't remember a hat, and I was unable to identifythe man who robbed me.Unit8I think I am like many people in that I have better ideas in my sleep than when I am awake. And, like most people, I have a hard time dragged myself from my bed or even rolling over to write some of what I have dreamt in a notebook that I have left on the nightstand. I have often tried but most of the time I am unable to do justice to my dream. The dream is always more detailed than what I write down .Dreams are like water ; the different parts of your conscious brain just seem to flow together into strange stories.I have a hard time explaining why things in my dreams happen. Why is there a dog in a pink dress running up the stairs in a church I’ve never been in before ? why do I often fly in my dreams, as though I am driving a car that does not exist, in a sitting position only a few feet from the ground? The following is an even greater mystery; why do dreams feel so real when I am dreaming and shortly after I wake up , but make less sense the longer I am awake? Sometimes my dreams really tell a story and I am completely entertained. I say to myself right after I wake up, ‖Wow , that would make a great movie .‖ I try to holdon to the story, but it isn’t easy .As soon as I get a chance ,I tell the story to the next person I see . I am always surprised when they are not impressed. They say something like, ‖Well, I’m sure it was very meaningful for you.‖ Either I have failed to capture the dream with my words, or the dream is only important to me , I guess we are all seeking a little meaning in our dreams : some deep dark secret we have hidden in our subconscious or a recipe for our own happiness. It would make our task a lot easier, though, if there were a better way to record them.unit9In a lecture to the student body, Professor Warrick introduced a new method of study. Calling this method fantastic, he said that it would give students an advantage over their classmates. He also claimed it would help in unlocking their true potential. When the lecture was over, students applauded the professor. So it’s obvious that they were convinced, Whether they should believe in what Warrick had to say, however, is worth investigating.Warrick says that the mysterious forces of excellence are within every individual. These forces, he says, can be freed through the right efforts. That is, if students tune their concentration through certain mental exercises, they can improve performance on their schoolwork. Theseexercises include such activities as listening to special music while sleeping. He also suggests vitamins. Everything neccessary is sold by Warrick himself.As one can imagine, Warrick has profited greatly by selling products to hopeful students. Already, he has made millions of dollars. And his lecture tours have made him a national hero. This wouldn’t be bad if he was actually assisting students. If students were reaching the peaks he promised, there wouldn’t be a problem. After some analysis, however,one can see that this is not the case. follow-up studies of students who have used Warrick’s methods have been done. Three studies show his methods have no effect whatsoever. Performance is not enhanced by his methods. Few students are aware of this, however.Unit10Is integrity fashionable? Is a strong feel of morality something that we presently desire? What would it cost to tempt a person to sell out their conscience? Many experts on group behavior are posing tough questions to find out where as a group our inner compass is pointing.If the bank put ＄1,000 in your account by mistake, would you keep it or tell the bank? If you were given by mistake a better grade on your report card than you earned, would you tell the school or would you keep quiet and keep the better mark? It is interesting because almost everyone saidthat the right thing to do would be to make the truth known, and yet a high percentage of the people conceded that they would actually keep quiet in both cases. How can we know what is right, yet fail to demonstrate it in our actions?What if, in the first instance, your grandmother happened to need assistance with some medical costs? Almost everyone said they would keep the money and help their grandmother. What is fascinating is that in this case, almost half of the people surveyed said that keeping the money was also the right thing to do. Even those who said that it was wrong to keep the money thought they could keep the money when the purpose was for their grandmother’s health.What does a conscience cost? Findings from this set of questions suggest that for most the cost is equal to the cos t of grandmother’s health. A simple conclusion would be that most people rely on situations rather than a core set of values to define what is right and wrong. If given a high enough price their inner compass will inevitably point in the direction of self-interest.一1对于网络课程，学生不仅可以选择何时何地学习，在回答问题之前他们还有时间思考答案。
