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 if, 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 HTV and AIDS. "Just try to be real with them," he says. "They appreciate that. "
The speaker is named "Magic" Johnson because______.
选项
A、he was once a famous basketball coach
B、he was a happy survivor of the unhappy disease
C、he was given chance to talk of his own experience
D、he was a very practical and realistic person in life
答案
A
解析
细节判断题。从文章第一段第二句可知,约翰逊被称为“魔术师”是因为他是个有名的篮球明星。B项说他是这个不幸疾病的幸存者,文章中并没有提到;C项说他有了一个谈论个人经历的机会,也没有提到;D项说他是一个非常现实的人,也不合文意,故选A。
