Predicting the future is risky business
for a scientist. It is safe to say, however, that the global AIDS epidemic will

relentlessly erodes the immune system. Accounting for more than 3 million deaths

[单项选择] The Land of Disney Predicting the future is always risky. But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th -century as America’s "Disney era.
