[阅读理解]

【题干】In 1991, when announced to be HIV positive, "Magic" Johnson became the face of a disease that the public still had a lot to learn about. The basketball star established the Magic Johnson Foundation that year and took a leading role on the public relations and fund-raising fronts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Fifteen years later, there is still more work to do.
“A lot of times, what happens is that the poster's not enough,”Johnson says, motioning to his likeness on the blackboard behind him. “So I have to get out and tell them myself, like I'm doing here today.” Johnson is now talking to an assembly at Boys and Girls High School in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The crowd is a few hundred students in a mostly black, working-class neighborhood. Thus event is the fourth of a 10-city speaking tour that is organized for minority communities.
According to drug maker Abbot, half of the more than I million Americans living with HIV are black. African-American men are being diagnosed with the disease at a rate 10 times as high as that of white men. For women, the situation is even worse. The rate of diagnosis for African-American women is 23 times as high as that for their white counterparts.
“Right now, we don't have a solution on how to combat it, so we're trying to do some different things than what has happened before,” Johnson says.
Getting the word out is what draws Johnson to black neighborhood high schools such as this one, and the message he brings with him is a practical one. “The safest sex is no sex,” he says. “But, in reality, we know only a certain number of people are going to hear that. Then I hit them with ‘Hey, if you're going to do it, you've got to protect yourself and your partner.’”
Hopefully, by talking realistically instead of avoiding the issues, Johnson can help make the next generation of African-Americans less likely to have HIV and AIDS. “just try to be real with them,” he says. “They appreciate that.”
