听力原文: The first "National Sample Survey of People's Reading Trends" was successfully accomplished. The survey shows that in modern Chinese society, "reading" is not limited to books, newspapers and magazines; it is a process that can be completed through all kinds of media and by various means. It is delightful to note people's common view that reading is crucial to an individual's development.
The survey was conducted among some 3,000 adults from 12 provinces and cities nationwide. And statistics reveal that different media and different types of publications function differently in meeting people's spiritual needs. To get to know both domestic and international news, and current trends, people mainly watch TV and read newspapers; to acquire information related to their own jobs, study and professional knowledge, they mostly choose books and TV programs; while preferring TV and VCD for relaxation and recreation.
In terms of the utilization of media in people's spare time, TV has the greatest number of viewers, while newspapers, magazines, books and radio come second with regard to number of readers. Quite a few people spend a fairly long time using audio and video products and computers.
Speaking of the purpose of reading, men stress the broadening of horizon and catering for their hobbies and interests while women emphasize improvement of self-cultivation, meeting social contact and coping with tests.

Attitudes to AIDS Now
Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic is over," a new survey finds.
The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.
"While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure," says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:
52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995. 51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures. 67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting the message that the AiDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message ..."
We have seen signs of complacency.
What do activists worry about?
A.Recent news about AIDS is not tree.
B.People may stop worrying about AIDS.
C.Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline.
D.Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.
