No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and sow that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. The first paragraph points out that ______.
A. there are many disabled people in the world
B. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
C. India has much more disabled people than Canada
D. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world’ s disabled people
"Much of the sickness and death attributed to the major communicable diseases is in fact caused by malnutrition which makes the body less able to withstand infections when they strike," said Dr Hiroshi Nakajima, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). "At the same time," he added, "in developing countries today, malnutrition is the cause of 174 million children under five years of age being (51) , and 230 million being stunted(阻碍)in their growth. Such (52) represent deprivation, suffering and wasted human potential (53) a scale that is unacceptable from every point of view. Whether we think in (54) of humanitarian concern, common justice or development needs, they demand a (55) , both from national governments and from the international community." It is now (56) that 6.6 million out of the estimated 12.2 million deaths (57) among children under-five--or 54% of young child mortality in developing countries-is associated with malnutrition, In some (58) , such as sub-Saha-ran Africa and south Asia, stagnation(停滞)of nutritional improvement (59) with a rapid rise in population has resulted in an (60) increase in the total number of malnourished children. (61) , over two-thirds of the world’s malnourished children live in Asia (especially south Asia), followed by Africa and Latin America. As Dr Nakajima noted, "The globalization of industry, trade, travel and communication has brought (62) it unprecedented possibilities for mutual cooperation in (63) hunger and malnutrition. At the same time, however, the acceptability of certain foods, and the cultural aspects of their production, distribution and preparation, are now recognized as (64) in the promotion of good nutrition. Without the attention (65) them, little progress can be made towards household food security, appropriate diets, the control of micronutrient(微量元素)deficiencies, the promotion of breast-feeding, and other strategies listed in the Plan of Action adopted in 1992 (at the International Conference on Nutrition in Rome).\
