In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a
disease that the public still had a lot to learn about
. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do.
"A lot of times, what happens is that the poster is not enough," Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. "So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I’m doing here today. " Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N. Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.
According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than 1 million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts.
" Right now, we don’t have a solution on how to
combat
it, so we’ re trying to do some different things than what has happened before," Johnson says.
Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one. "The safest sex is no sex," he says. " But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with ’ Hey, if you’ re going to do it, you’ve got to protect yourself and your partner. ’
Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. "Just try to be real with them," he says. "They appreciate that. "
What is the purpose of Johnson’s speech tour?
选项
A、To take himself as an example in fighting the disease.
B、To raise the awareness of young Americans against the disease.
C、To provide a better cure for the black American HIV sufferers.
D、To try some new medical solutions on the HIV and AIDS sufferers.
答案
B
解析
第二段。主旨概括题。根据第二段内容可知,约翰逊以自己为例到处巡回演讲并告诫年轻人要学会保护自己以免感染AIDS,由此可以看出他演讲的目的就是让年轻人明白艾滋病的危害并有防范意识,故选B。
