Many years ago,I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a   41   on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from   42   to toe,explained that he had    43   out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children   44   at the car and siad that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.

Once I had    45    a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46   ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    47   me back.

Before leaving,I had turned the heater   48   in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and   49   .While the little ones played and ran   50   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the   51   .

About a month later,I received a   55    from Interstate,a large bus company that we had been trying to   56   to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It   57   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most   58   person in the company.

In his letter,he thanked me again and    59   me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this   60   ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

Karen,grown up in a very traditional family in the western United States,maintained high moral(道德的) standars throughout her youth..In 1984,at the age of 23,she married Bill.They were blessed with two children,a boy and a girl.

By 1991 their love had deepened,and they were happy.Later that year,Bill developed a white spot on his tongue.He visited a doctor.

One day shortly after that,Bill called Karen to sit beside him.He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her.The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV,the virus that leads to AIDS.

The family was tested.Bill and Karen’s results were positive.Bill had become infected before he met Katen;then he passed the virns on to Karen.The children’s results were negative.Within three years,Bill was dead.“I don’t know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly.I cried many nights.He died three months short of ten years of our marriage,”says Karen.Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death,she is still alive.The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS.

Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS,a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia.Ireland and Paraguay.According to one UN report,Africa has 21 million of these victims.By the turn of the century that number could reach 40 million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history.Of the wold’s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV.Of these,only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected.In some parts of Africa,25 percent of the adults are infected.

Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981,about 11.7 million people have died of it.It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone,about 2,3 million people died of it.Nevertheless,there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS.During the past few years,there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations.In addition,promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.
