But they dont know theres no cure and strongly disagree that “the AIDS epidemic is over.“ The findings, relea
24、sed Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths. “While people are very optimistic about the advances, theyre still realistic about the fact tha
25、t there is no cure,“ says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation. The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA today Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the countrys top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll, 38% say its the top concern, down from 44 %
26、in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29 % say AIDS is N0.1, down from I 41% in 1992and67% in 1987. Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November 52% say the country is making progress against
27、 AIDS; up from 32% in 1995. 51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86 % correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives: an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures. 67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Da
28、niel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, “Im encouraged that the American people are getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isnt over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message.We have seen signs of complacency.“ Epidemic n.流行病 ; (流行病的 )流行 ,传播 Reassure vt.

The empty str
33、etch of interstate gives way to urban congestion, and Coyne hits the brake as a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of him. But even if he hadnt stopped in time, the woman would have been safe. She isnt real. Neither is the town. And Coyne isnt really driving. Coyne is demonstrating a co
34、mputerized driving simulator that is helping researchers at Old Dominion University (ODU) examine how in-vehicle guidance systems affect the person behind the wheel. The researchers want to know if such systems, which give audible or written directions, are too distracting or whether any distraction
35、s are offset by the benefits drivers get from having help finding their way in unfamiliar locations. “Were looking at the performance and mental workload of drivers,“ said Caryl Baldwin, the assistant psychology professor leading the research, which involves measuring drives reaction time and brain
36、activity as they respond to auditory and visual cues. The researchers just completed a study of the mental workload involved in driving through different kinds of environments and heavy vs. light traffic. Preliminary results show that as people “get into more challenging driving situations, they don
37、t have any extra mental energy to respond to something else in the environment,“ Baldwin said. But the tradeoffs could be worth it, she said. The next step is to test different ways of giving drivers navigational information and how those methods change the drivers mental workload. “Is it best if th
38、ey see a picture “ that shows their position, a map kind of display?“ Baldwin said. “Is it best if they hear it?“ Navigational systems now on the market give point-by-point directions that follow a prescribed route. “Theyre very unforgiving,“ Baldwin said. “If you miss a tarn, they can almost seem t
39、o get angry.“ That style of directions also can be frustrating for people who prefer more general instructions. But such broad directions can confuse drivers who prefer route directions, Baldwin said. Perhaps manufacturers should allow drivers to choose the style of directions they want, or modify s
40、ystems to present some information in a way that makes sense for people who prefer the survey style, she said. Interestingly, other research has shown that about 60 per cent of men prefer the survey style, while 60 per cent women prefer the route style, Baldwin said. This explains the classic little
41、 thing of why men dont like to stop and ask for directions and women do, Baldwin added. 36 Which statement is TRUE of the description in the first two paragraphs? （ A） If Coyne had stopped the car in time, he wouldnt have hit the woman. （ B） The woman would have been knocked over, if Coyne had follo
42、wed the traffic regulations. （ C） Coyne is not really driving so it is impossible for him to have hit the woman. （ D） If the woman had not crossed the street suddenly, Coyne would not have hit her. 37 What do researchers want to find out, according to the third and fourth paragraphs? （ A） Whether or
43、 not audible or written directions are distracting. （ B） How long it will take the driver to respond to auditory and visual stimuli. （ C） How the driver perform under certain mental workload. （ D） All of the above. 38 What are the preliminary results given in the fifth paragraph? （ A） Drivers are af
44、raid of getting into challenging driving situations. （ B） In challenging driving situations, drivers still have extra energy to handle other things. （ C） In challenging driving situations, drivers do not have any additional mental energy to deal with something else. （ D） Drivers mental load remains
45、unchanged under different situations. 39 The sixth paragraph mainly state that the researchers _ （ A） is designing a visual navigational information system （ B） is designing an audio navigational information system （ C） is designing an audio-visual navigational information system （ D） want to determ
46、ine the best ways of giving navigational information system 40 What kind of directions do men and women prefer? （ A） Women prefer more general directions and men prefer route directions. （ B） Men prefer more general directions and women prefer route directions. （ C） Both men and women prefer general
47、 directions. （ D） Both men and women prefer route directions. 41 Early or Later Day Care The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive “attachment“ period from birth to three may scar a childs personality and predispose to emotional problems in
48、 later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it entails, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion. Firstly, anthr
49、opologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant alone-far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kin
