[5] When they gave us our first sex education lecture, AIDS was not part of the speech. It was 1981, and there might have been a couple of news stories about a new disease, AIDS wasn‟t a real the , they did not provide very much helpful information.media was happy to report stories that confirmed racial or sexual prejudices we may have had. There were stories about monkeys in

Africa that only sex between two men could spread the disease. The understanding was the only protective steps someone would need to take were to stay away from gay(同性恋的) men and monkeys. This lack serious information and education about the disease led to prejudice and

unsafe sexual behavior by many.

having sex together could also be the disease. Sex education had taken a more serious meaning; now it was

about protecting yourself from disease. Still the prejudices Although common contact between individuals including kissing was considered safe, most were afraid to contact with others who had AIDS. It is commonly believed that prejudice kept the government 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.

Unit7 I was walking from the door of my apartment building to the corner store. All of a sudden, a slight man wearing a stocking cap leaped from behind a parked car and stuck a pistol, or at least what I thought was a gun, into my side. My heart beat fast, and I became very light-headed. It was as if just as I was in a dream and my body was not attached to my brain.Instinctively , I raised my hands in the air, though he didn't tell me to do so or say anything at all; he just reached around and searched the back pocket of my trousers for anything valuable

The next thing I knew was he was gone, and so also so too was my wallet. And then I just stood there with my heart pounding and my head spinning (头晕) for what that what which seemed to be an eternity. I heard the footsteps and the cough of a man walking past, which then faded fell dis appeared faded away. I became more conscious of where I was, and then, all at once, I could feel my legs trembling . I moved sideways to the steps of

the closest building and sat down.

Other victims may have felt angry or frightened, but I was just confused. I hadn't been hurt or even hit. He wanted my money, so he took my money and left. There was no "Give me your money or I'll shoot" like in the movies. He was fast, he was silent, and he was gone. I tried to remember the details of what had just happened, but it all happened so fast that it seemed to have not happened at all. I wasn't even sure if the man had a gun or not. I wouldn't be able to identify the offender even if he were standing right in front of me.

A few minutes later, I called and reported the robbery to the police operator. An officer called me back after an hour for additional details. He asked me if there was anything unusual about the man who had robbed me, but I couldn't accurately describe the man.

The next day, I went to the police station and looked through albums of photos of criminals who had committed similar robberies. Apparently ，there had been several similar robberies in my neighborhood in the past couple of weeks by a man who had an odd hat. I didn't remember a hat, and I was unable to identify

the man who robbed me.

Unit8

I 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 hold

on 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.

unit9

In a lecture to the student body, Professor Warrick introduced a new method of study. Calling this method students an advantage their classmates. He also it would help in unlocking their true potential. When the lecture was over, students the professor. So it‟s obvious that they were , Whether they should believe in what Warrick had to say, however, is worth investigating.

Warrick says that the forces of excellence are within every individual. These forces, he says, can be freed through the right. That is, if students tune their concentration through certain mental exercises, they can improve on their schoolwork. These

exercises include such activities as listening to special music while sleeping. He also vitamins. Everything is sold by Warrick himself.

As one can imagine, Warrick hashopeful students. Already, he has made millions of dollars. And his lecture have made him a national hero. This wouldn‟t be bad if he was actually students. If students were reaching the peaks he promised, there wouldn‟t be a problem. After some analysis,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 effectFew students are aware of this, however.

Unit10

Is integrity fashionable? Is a strong of morality something that we presently desire? What would it cost to a person to sell out their conscience? Many experts on group behavior areto find out where a group our inner compass is pointing.

If the bank put ＄1,000 in your by mistake, would you keep it or tell the bank? If youcard than you earned, would you tell the school or would you keep quiet and keep the better mark?

that the right thing to do would be to the truth known, and yet a high percentage of the people that they would actually keep quiet in both cases. How can we know what is right, yet fail to it in our actions?

What if, in the first your grandmother happened to need assistance with some medical ? Almost everyone said they would keep the money and help their grandmother. What is is that in this case, almost half of the people was also the right thing to do. Even those who said that it was wrong to keep the money thought they could keep the moneyfor their grandmother‟s .

What does a conscience ? Findings from this set of questions that for most the cost is equal to the cost of grandmother‟s health. A simple would be that most people rely on situations 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.
