Millions of people visit Machu Picchu each year. It is an ancient Inca city in the mountains of Peru. Steep(陡峭的) steps and rough paths make the trip a challenge. It used to be nearly impossible for people with a physical disability.
Wheel the World has changed that. The company offers wheel-chair- accessible(可以使用轮椅的) tours of Machu Picchu and other places around the world. “Normally people with disabilities would think that these kinds of places are not possible for them,” Camilo Navarro told reporters. He set up Wheel the World with his best friend, Alvaro Silberstein. Silberstein uses a wheel chair.
Navarro and Silberstein started Wheel the World after hiking Torres del Paine in 2016. It is a national park in Chile. Silberstein was the first person to travel the park in a wheelchair. “Our story went popular,” he says. “We started receiving hundreds of requests from people wanting to repeat this trip.”
Today, Wheel the World runs 40 wheelchair-accessible trips in 55 countries. The company offers cars and hotels with ramps(轮椅). It directs people to accessible(可进入的) bathrooms. It even teaches local guides to help wheelchair users get around.
Wheel the World uses a special wheelchair for the Machu Picchu trip. It can be pushed like a wheelbarrow(独轮车). It also folds up(折叠) and can be put into a car easily. “It's a super strong wheelchair. It allows you to get to every corner in all kinds of places,” Navarro says. “Wherever somebody with a disability want to go, we can get there with that wheelchair.”
Wheel the World hopes to give people with disabilities the same opportunities as everyone else. “The world hasn't been planned for people with a disability,” Navarro says. “It's important to build a fairer and better world.”

Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be like without a car.However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars.The polluted air is poisonous(有毒的)and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of(排除)the polluted air is to build a new kind of car.That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do.But progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine(发动机) by something else.Engineers are now working on some new cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that satisfies man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way of us live.Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their cars.They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike.Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change does not come easily------a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业).

World AIDS(爱滋病)Day is held on December lst each year. It is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against AIDS and to show their support for people living with AIDS. It's also an opportunity for us to learn the facts about AIDS. We can use the knowledge to take care of our own health and the health of others. On World AIDS Day we can show our support for people living with AIDS by wearing a red ribbon, the international symbol of AIDS support.
Liu Mingxiao, 13, is pretty and smart. She comes top in her class. But many students try to stay away from her because Liu's mum has AIDS. Liu's father has died of AIDS. Luckily, Liu didn't get it.
AIDS means fear for most people. "Nobody wants to play games with me. They call me bad names behind my back. Even a teacher who used to like-me turns her back on me now," said Liu.
Liu's mother didn't know what happened to her daughter until one day Liu came home with her nose bleeding(流血 ),“She fought with a boy who said something bad about her father," Liu's mother said, "My heart really hurts. My daughter did nothing wrong"
For many of these children, the biggest problem they now face is how other people look at them. Many of them have to drop out of school because they can no longer stand others' indifference(冷漠 ).
"People are afraid of AIDS because they know little about it," said Wang Chongrun, head of a group to help children living with AIDS. Wang went to the villages and gave lessons about AIDS to the people there. “Many of these children are just as healthy as others," Wang said. “Even if they have AIDS, it’s still safe to eat and play with them. They need our love and understanding. A friendly smile means a lot to them.”
