What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing ( and many birds sing better than a lot of people). However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical instruments.

　  Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things -- especially their emotions. When speech is added to music in a song, it is a very powerful form of communication.

If music is truly different from speech, then we should process(加工) music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific study suggests that this is true. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech.

Why does music have such a strong effect on us physically and emotionally? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's mate. For example, singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular (肌肉)control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally ,when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa), it may be a way of showing off.

　　However, Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research.

Sitting and eating quietly on his father’s lap, the 18-month-old was oblivious to the infection in his veins(血管). But his father, a strong farmer, knew only too well. It was the same one that killed his wife four months ago, leaving him alone with four children. The man started to cry.

 “When my wife died, I thought ,well, it is from God, but at least I have him.” he said. “Then I learned he is sick, too. I asked if there was medicine and the doctors said no.

HIV and AIDS have quietly arrived in this land. They remain almost completely underground, hidden in ignorance（无知）and shame.

The father of the infected 18-month-old said his village teacher had never talked about AIDS. Nearly a year of tests on the father have found no HIV, and the old children are clear, but his smallest child tested positive（阳性）at ten months.

Six years earlier, his wife lost a baby and have several transfusions（输血） in Pakistan. After she became sick and was found to be infected, “I told the family her blood was not good and to avoid eating with her.” he said. “And I told them not to kiss his son, he burst into tears.

“I don’t know what to do,” he said; “I have sacrificed so much since my marriage. I mortgaged (抵押)half my land to pay for her medical care.”
