Women with AIDS
For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gay community was very much in sight and vocal and successfully got support for its cause.Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women .But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.
Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of her-self. The HIV- positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal prob- lems.Men,however,are usually the ones who have insurance income and access to doctors.They get care.Women often do not.
The discrimination against HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be more inactive than men in home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the discase .This is not at all true.They get it from a man.They don't just simply have HIV.Of cause,there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV.They are scared that other peo- ple will know they are HIV-positive and that they will,therefore be discriminated against.For ex-ample,it's very difficult for people with HIV to travel.They are not allowed to enter many coun- tries,including the United States,China and Russia.
The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolation.Once the woman knows she's HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will find out. She's so frightened she will go into hiding,into an isolated place by herself. It's not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone,except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.But HIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it-whether that means taking better care of them-selves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights-are likely to live longer. Active women don't die out of shame in a corner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.

HIV-positive women make up nearly half of all AIDS cases in the world.

Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country?Or doesn't it matter?What about table manner?Should you use both hands when you are eating?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also,most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman,and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is,if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable--especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?

A.Social Customs and Behaviou

Friendship

Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of
friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we
get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for
example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all
cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree
of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As
we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical
attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are
not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked
difference in age and background.
On a more immediate level,we are sensitive to actual behaviour,facial expression,
and tone of voice.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at
each other than mere acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and
it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in
making friends.A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive
stare,and nervousness may be misread as hostility.People who do not look one in the eye
are mistrusted when,in fact,they simply lack confidence.
Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends
to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common一they often talk
about"being on the same wavelength".It generally takes time to reach this point;
sometimes people"click"immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the
more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them
down.Equally,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with
irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with
someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies,no rituals to strengthen
the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results
from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can
overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.

Two people can be considered friends so long as they care for each other and like being together.

B:Wrong

The First Four Minutes

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes
together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he
offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole
lives would change if they did just that."
You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has
just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and
self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".
On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is
important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and
hopes.
Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my
nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."
__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is
like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that
way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships,
especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of
play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain
about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth
about one's opinions and impressions.
________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first
four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be
treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along
with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know.

_________（49）
A:In reply,Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
B:Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C:In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D:Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E:He keeps looking over the other person'S shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F:He is eager to make friends with everyone.

Women with AIDS

For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gay community was very much in sight and vocal and successfully got support for its cause.Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one haff of all AIDS cases in the. world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.
Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men,however,are usually the ones who have insurance income and access to doctors.They get care.Women often do not.
The discrimination against HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be more inactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease.This is not at all true.They get it from a man.They don't just simply have HIV.Of course,there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV.They are scared that other people will know they are HJV-positive and that they will,therefore be discriminated against. For example,it's very difficult for people with HIV to travel.They are not allowed to enter many countries,including the United States,China and Russia.
The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolatjon.Once the woman knows she's HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will find out.She's so frightened she will go into hiding,into an isolated place by herself. It's not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone,except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.But HIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it一whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights一are likely to live longer. Active women don't die out of shame in a corner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.

Women with AIDS are encouraged to tell their trouble to others.

Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country?Or doesn't it matter?What about table manner?Should you use both hands when you are eating?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also,most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman,and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is,if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable--especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

Friendship

Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of
friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we
get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for
example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all
cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree
of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As
we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical
attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are
not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked
difference in age and background.
