Travel Across Africa
For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and 1 just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I&39;d bought in a market in Mozambique.<br>
Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.<br>
And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometer from clean water.<br>
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty--we hadn&39;t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn&39;t know how long they had been there next to us.<br>
I shouted to Dan: "Look! but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet."<br>
They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.<br>
When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.<br>
"Wild horses? "he said. "Why didn&39;t you wake me up, Sophia?"<br>
"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."<br>
"Are you sure you didn&39;t dream it?"<br>
"You were the one who was sleeping! "<br>
"Typical," he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."<br>
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

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.
