WASHINGTON—Patients with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, often develop vitamin deficiencies(缺乏). A new study has found that giving these patients a multivitamin with a mineral supplement(补充) helps to fight the disease and slows the disease’s progression.
Sub-Saharan Africa has always been the centre of the AIDS. In Botswana, despite aggressive prevention campaigns, one out of every four adults is infected with HIV. Professor Marianna Baum based her latest research there.
Baum recruited almost 900 newly infected adults who had not yet received the anti-AIDS drugs that target the virus.
These adults were then divided into groups that randomly received different combinations of vitamins B, C and E, the mineral selenium(硒) or a placebo(安慰剂).
Most patients with HIV become deficient in these vitamins, which help improve immunity(免疫). Baum said she initially thought the multivitamins alone or selenium alone would be effective in strengthening the immune system, but found that incorrect.
“We were surprised to find that only the combination was effective，” said Baum.
Research shows that when people with HIV receive anti-retroviral drugs (抗逆转录病毒药物) shortly after infection, they can remain healthy and are less likely to pass the virus to others. For many countries, however, the cost of these anti-AIDS drugs is still prohibitive.
Baum said the vitamin and mineral combination treatment should help low-income countries better control the virus.
“A simple multivitamin supplementation with selenium provided early in HIV disease can actually slow the HIV disease progression and it is safe. It is low cost and it should be provided very early in HIV infection，” said Baum.
Baum said the supplements are not meant to replace anti-retroviral therapy, but can help those who cannot obtain the drugs.
Dr Anthony Fauci, a world-famous expert on AIDS, disagreed.
“I haven’t read the paper, but having taken care of HIV-infected individuals for three decades, I would doubt that vitamins are going to have a major effect on stopping the virus，” said Fauci.
Fauci said vitamin and mineral supplements may make a patient generally healthier, but the only thing that truly works to stop HIV is anti-retroviral treatment.
Baum’s study was published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Do you enjoy seeing the stars twinkling at night? Or do you love the ocean and sea, diving and racing with lovely dolphins? With heavy burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. Even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with computer games or watching TV. How to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. Now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.
A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.
The newly formed Wild Network, a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations, is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screens and into fields, woods and parks.
Organizers say it is the UK’s biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general well-being.
A documentary film, Project Wild Thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday. It looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.
Members of the network include the National Trust, RSPB, Play England and the NHS Sustainable Development Unit.
Andy Simpson, chairman of Wild Network, said, “The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation.”Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.
Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers(七叶树果实), camping, snail racing, and observing autumn colours on trees.
From January, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to_get_children_muddy_and_bright-eyed.
This is not the first time the message of fewer screens, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don’t You, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to “switch off your TV set, and go to do something less boring instead”.
5.What is the main purpose of the campaign in the UK?
A.To save 30 minutes for watching TV programmes each day.
B.To encourage children to play outdoors.
C.To see the documentary film Project Wild Thing.
D.To teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.
6.According to the organizers of Wild Network, there will be many advantages from the campaign EXCEPT ________.
A.improving health conditions
B.keeping touch with nature
C.learning more about wildlife
D.teaching children how to make full use of their spare time
7.The underlined part “to get children muddy and bright-eyed” in Paragraph 9 means “________ ”.
A.to make children covered with mud
B.to urge politicians to do more things for children
C.to encourage children to take part in outdoor activities
D.to help children identify common species
8.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.A new campaign
B.Fewer screens, more play outdoors
C.A newly formed Wild Network
D.Children get to know wild things
【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。英国正在发起一项活动，鼓励孩子们每天减少上网时间而去参加户外活动。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第二段“A campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.”可知，此次活动的目的是鼓励孩子们参加户外活动，故B项正确。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“…it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general well-being.”可知A项正确;根据第七段的“‘The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation.’Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.”可知B、C正确，故选择D项。
