World AIDS(爱滋病)Day is held on December lst each year. It is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against AIDS and to show their support for people living with AIDS. It's also an opportunity for us to learn the facts about AIDS. We can use the knowledge to take care of our own health and the health of others. On World AIDS Day we can show our support for people living with AIDS by wearing a red ribbon, the international symbol of AIDS support.
Liu Mingxiao, 13, is pretty and smart. She comes top in her class. But many students try to stay away from her because Liu's mum has AIDS. Liu's father has died of AIDS. Luckily, Liu didn't get it.
AIDS means fear for most people. "Nobody wants to play games with me. They call me bad names behind my back. Even a teacher who used to like-me turns her back on me now," said Liu.
Liu's mother didn't know what happened to her daughter until one day Liu came home with her nose bleeding(流血 ),“She fought with a boy who said something bad about her father," Liu's mother said, "My heart really hurts. My daughter did nothing wrong"
For many of these children, the biggest problem they now face is how other people look at them. Many of them have to drop out of school because they can no longer stand others' indifference(冷漠 ).
"People are afraid of AIDS because they know little about it," said Wang Chongrun, head of a group to help children living with AIDS. Wang went to the villages and gave lessons about AIDS to the people there. “Many of these children are just as healthy as others," Wang said. “Even if they have AIDS, it’s still safe to eat and play with them. They need our love and understanding. A friendly smile means a lot to them.”

It's not easy to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class monitor and captain of the football team.
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have a winner right here in my class."
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, :I wouldn't start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm...
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged(拥抱 ) me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.
My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩 ).
The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears (眼泪 ) were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son, this is the proudest moment of my life."
It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son.
