M10 Unit3 Protecting ourselves Reading

课件38张PPT。Reading Aids todayA news report from the 18th World Aids Day人类关于艾滋病的确切记载大都始于1981年。在此之前，我们对这种疾病一无所知。我们不知道在20世纪的70年代，或者更遥远的过去，有多少人感染了艾滋病，也不知道它究竟起源于何处。艾滋病从一开始就被笼罩在重重迷雾之中。虽然众说纷纭，其中不乏合理的猜测和颇有科学依据的推论，但还没有哪一种观点能够得到世人的公认。　　1981年，美国率先发现了艾滋病。四年后，艾滋病登陆中国。中国的一些艾滋病监测人员起初的习惯是，哪一个地区出现艾滋病感染者，就在地图上那一部分打上红点；2000年，这项工作停止了：中国地图上已经没有被艾滋病遗漏的省份。目前，全球约有4000万艾滋病病毒携带者，其中250万为不足15岁的少年。非洲是艾滋病蔓延最严重的大陆，迄今共有2660万艾滋病病毒感染者，320万艾滋病患者，死亡230万人。 What do these pictures have in common?
