【 prompt 用法】 题目： “aviation disaster prompts action空难应急行动”【C8T1P2】 Prompt v. give an incentive for action or serve as the inciting cause of something.

In 2005, Mark Cotton of Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, South Africa, began a study of 377 South African infants aged 6 to 12 months. One-third received no antiretroviral drugs until their immune system showed signs of weakening, in line with standard practice at the time. The others received the drugs at 7 weeks of age, on average. Of these, half were treated for 40 weeks, the others for 96 weeks.
南非开普敦的 Stellenbosch University 的 Mark Cotton 在 2005 年对内 6 到 12 个月的 377 名婴儿做了一次调研，其中有三分之一的婴儿在免疫系统出现衰退的迹象之后才开始接受抗病毒药物的治疗，此举符合当时的惯例。平均来看，剩下的人是在得病后的 7 周接受药物治疗的。在所有这些人当中，有一半是治疗了 40 周，剩下的是 96 周。
Five years later, 21 "delayers" had died,

compared with

11 and nine in the two "early" groups. What's more, 24 of the infants who had 40 weeks of treatment and 40 that received 96 weeks remain off medication ( The Lancet , DOI: 10.1016/S0140 6736(13)61409-9).
译文：五年后，两个分别接受早期治疗的群体各死亡 11 和 9 人，延迟治疗的患者有 21 个过世。此外，其中 24 个婴儿接受过 40 周的治疗， 40 个接受 96 周治疗的基本脱离了药物。

【 compared with 用法】 原文：“ The monkey projects demonstrates that, compared with control animals that eat normally, caloric-restricted monkeys have lower body temperatures and levels of the pancreatic hormone insulin, and they retain more youthful levels of certain hormones that tend to fall with age. ”
译文：对猴子所做的实验表明，同正常饮食的猴子相比，卡路里摄取受限制的猴子体温较低，同时所产生的胰岛素的量也少，并且他们青春期产生的荷尔蒙激素的量会随着年纪的增长而减少。
Current guidelines say babies can have antiretrovirals at 6 weeks of age, but most HIV-positive babies start treatment at 6 months, Cotton says. He hopes the findings will help change that.
译文：当前的指导方针表明婴儿在得病的 6 周可以使用抗病毒药物，但是大多数艾滋病阳性婴儿在 6 个月才开始接受治疗， Cotton 说，他希望调查结果可以有助于改变现状。
