单选题Lacking a cure for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooms. Those with AIDS or those at high risk of AIDS suffer prejudice; they are feared by some people who find living itself unsafe, while others conduct themselves with a "bravado (冒险心理)" that could be fatal. AIDS has afflicted a society already short on humanism, open handedness and optimism. Attempts to strike it out with the offending microbe are not abetted(教唆)by preexisting social ills. Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level undergraduate AIDS course, with its two important aims: To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus, not by moral failure or societal collapse. The proper response to AIDS is compassion coupled with an understanding of the disease itself. We wanted to foster (help the growth of) the idea of a humane society. To describe how AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests. The economy, the political system, science, the legal establishment, the media and our moral ethical philosophical attitudes must respond to the disease. Those responses, whispered, or shrieked, easily accepted or highly controversial, must be put in order if the nation is to manage AIDS. Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call itself civilized. AIDS, then, is woven into the tapestry(挂毯) of modem society; in the course of explaining that tapestry, a teacher realizes that AIDS may bring about changes of historic proportions. Democracy obliges its educational system to prepare students to become informed citizens, to join their voices to the public debate inspired by AIDS. Who shall direct just what resources of manpower and money to the problem of AIDS? Even more basic, who shall formulate a national policy on AIDS? The educational challenge, then, is to enlighten(启发) the individual and the societal, or public, responses to AIDS.

单选题Questions 18-21 are based on the following passage.

单选题Companies have the legal right to monitor employees'e-mail and instant messaging．Many do, whether they warn their workers or not．Last month the University of Tennessee released the e-mail correspondence between an administrator and a married college president in which the administrator wrote of her love for him， and of her use of drugs and alcohol to deal with her unhappiness．Employers, including The New York Times and Dow Chemical, have fired workers for sending improper e-mail． But the fastest-growing area for Internet spying is the home．SpectorSoft, a leading manufacturer of spyware, at first marketed its products to parents and employers．Sales jumped enormously, however, when the company changed its pitch to target romantic partners．"In just one day of running Spector on my home PC, I was able to identify my boyfriend's true personality,"a message on the company'website declares． What can you expect if someone puts SpectorSoft's Spector 2.2 on your computer? It will take hundreds of records an hour of every website and e-mail that appears on your screen, and store them so that someone who is spying on you can review them later．A new product, SpectorSoft's eBlaster, will send the spy detailed e-mail reports updating your computer activities ffequently. These products keep the people being spied on totally unaware． SpectorSoft has sold 35,000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a flourishing market．WinWhatWhere, another big player, sells primarily to businesses, but what it calls the"discontented family member" market has been finding VvSnWhatWhere．Many smaller companies have sites that sell relatively crude"key-loggers,"software that records every keystroke typed on a computer． Isn't all this spying on loved ones a little creepy?Not to SpectorSoft president Doug Fowler．"If you're in a committed relationship and you get caught because of evidence online, as far as I'm concerned you deserve to be caught,"he says．Richard Eaton, president of WinVVhatWhere, recognizes that in a perfect world users would reveal that they have placed monitoring software on a computer．But WinWhatWhere Investigator has a feature that allows it to be completely hidden．"Our customers demanded it，"he says．
