26、In south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autochthonous Region, an area renowned for(因……而闻名) its history of musical folklore(民俗), local residents(民众) have found a unique way to spread knowledge regarding(关于) AIDS prevention.
“We asked eight local singers to write and record songs about the disease. We think this is an effective way for local people to acquire AIDS knowledge,” said 55-year-old Huang Zhanghui, a resident of the village of Shantun. He said that the songs are played through loudspeakers in his village every evening.
The songwriting campaign(活动) has been effective because folk songs are a traditional art form in the region, making them more readily understandable and acceptable for local residents, Huang said.
Guangxi has been one of the hardest-hit areas in China in terms of the number of AIDS infections discovered there, ranking only after central China’s Henan Province.
Bama County, which administers(管理) Shantun, is known for the longevity of its residents. Nearly 2,500 of its residents are more than 80 years old, and another 81 have celebrated their 100th birthdays.
“We will not let AIDS threaten this tradition,” Huang said.
Huang was selected to be the head of the village’s AIDS prevention office just two months ago. In addition to the creation of folk songs, the office spreads AIDS prevention knowledge through text messages and publicly screened films.
“We have been making progress with our anti-AIDS campaign. Nearly all of our villagers know how AIDS is transmitted(传播) and how to prevent it,” he said.
Lu Meirong, 33, joined a local women’s anti-AIDS group in June.
“I used to flush(脸红) at the simple mention of sexual(性感) topics, ” she said. However, she says that she is now comfortably reminding her husband and other relatives to stay away from sex workers.
Wei Kaizhong, head of the health bureau(局) of the city of Hechi, believes that the mode(方式/风格) of peer educations on HIV/ AIDS prevention is necessary among villagers.
Nearly two-thirds of China’s AIDS carriers are believed to be living in rural areas. Rural residents have a significantly higher risk of contracting(感染) the disease than urban residents.

27、 An allowance (零用钱)is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions.Children remember and leam from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.
How large an allowance is proper? Experts say there is not right amount.Actual amounts differ from area to area, and from family to family.To set a right amount of allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget- Allow for entertainment expenditure such as movies and snacks.' Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, and school supplies.“If you make the child responsible for these 4 bills',” says Josephine Swanson, a consumer (消费者)specialist,“he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditure.”
Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible.If you can, keep your child's allowance in line with that of his or her friends.A child whose purchasing (购买)power falls away below his or her friends' can feel left out.
It can be hard, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance.When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, 1 - 75 of which was for bus fare and lunch.“If you lose your money,”Brooke's mother told her,“you walk home.”One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store; then she called home for a ride.“ Mom made me walk home, ” recalled Stephens,now a financial (财务)planner in Brooklyn.“At first I was angry.But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”
Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child's daily chores.Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family.You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home.That can develop his or her initiative (主动性).
