听力原文：Susan: Hi, Nicky. How was your first week on the AIDS ward？

Nicky: Ok, I guess. But I never realized how many different things nurse's assistants have to do. There's a lot to learn—(pause)

S: There sure is! That's why we're having this meeting today, Nicky. As your advisor, it's my responsibility to help you learn your new job. We've found that sometimes our new assistants have trouble adjusting to the AIDS ward.

N: Actually, I do feel worded about being here. I keep thinking that I might get infected with HIV. I know there isn't a very big risk, but I'm still worried. I try to be very careful. I always wear the protective clothing. But then something strange happened.

S: What happened？

N: I went in to see a patient, to bring him his lunch, and he looked at me and said, "Oh, you're new here, aren't you？" Then he was acting very angry at me after that. I think it was beck/use of the clothing!

S: Why do you think he was angry？

N: I'm not sure. I was just trying to protect myself.

S: I think the important thing to remember when you're working with AIDS patients is that you're working with people—people who are very sick, but who still need m be treated with respect. I remember what my boss told me when I first started working with AIDS patients. He said, "It's important to isolate the AIDS virus, but not the AIDS patient." We don't want our AIDS patients to feel that way. It's important that they fell just like all our other patients.

N: So what should I do？

S: Well, you have to think carefully before you go into someone's room. We know that it's impossible to get AIDS from just touching someone, or breathing the air next to them, or even sharing a glass of water. AIDS, as you know, is passed though blood or bodily fluids. So when you go into a patient's room, think to yourself: "What am I going to do in here？ Will I be in contact with blood or other bodily fluids？" For example, when you serve lunch to someone, do you think you need to wear protective clothing？ Is there going to be any blood then？

N: Um, no, I guess not. I guess I don't need to wear the clothing when I serve food.

S: How about when you draw someone's blood？ Do you need the protective clothing then？

N: Well, there's a chance that I could prick my finger on the needle.

S: Right. In that case I'd wear gloves, just to be safe. I guess the rule to live by is to protect yourself when you need to, but don't wear the clothing unnecessarily.

N: You have such a good attitude. Don't you ever get depressed？ You know, working with sick people all the time who will never get better... I'm not sure I can handle it.

S: It is sad sometimes, but remember that many people in the AIDS ward do get better. They aren't cured of AIDS, but they can become healthy again and go back to their lives. Especially now, with so many new AIDS medicines, many people live for a long time. But unfortunately, many people do die as well. Sometimes, when you've been working with a patient for a long time, and that person dies, it's almost like losing a good friend. But on the other hand, you'll need some of the most wonderful people here. There are people who are sick and dying, but they are still trying to be happy and live as best they can.

N: I feel a little bit better now. it's good to talk to someone who has experience. Thanks a lot!
