He was just 12 years old when he died. But he brought courage and hope to people around the world.

Nkosi Johnson, who died last June, is remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his government’s AIDS policies and millions of South Africans in the fight against the disease.

Johnson was the longest survivor born HIV positive(艾滋病病毒携带者).He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.

At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother, Gail Johnson took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosi’s Haven across town from her house in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers.

Johnson attracted the world’s attention and stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in July 2000. He stood in front of a large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki. He told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given to HIV-positive pregnant(怀孕的) women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.

Johnson’s speech was broadcast live across the world. With views beyond his age and even a sense of humor, Johnson soon became an international sign of the fight against AIDS and HIV.

The underlined words “claimed his life” (Paragraph 3) means _______.

阅读下面短文,简要回答问题。

The World Health Organization estimates (估计) 20,000,000 babies are born too small each year. It says a baby weighing less than 2,500 grams at birth has a less than desirable weight for good health. 95 percent of such children are born in developing countries.

One recent study shows that pregnant (怀孕的) women in developing countries have healthier babies if the women are given vitamins. Researchers from the United States and Tanzania found that vitamins could help reduce low birth weight. Their findings were reported last month in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Wafaie Fawzi of the Harvard School of Public Health led the study. Professor Fawzi says low birth weight can cause serious health problems in babies. He says low birth weight has been linked to poor growth and mental development, and even early death.

There are fourteen kinds of vitamins. People who do not get enough of these chemicals in their food, or want more, often take multivitamins (多种维生素).In the study, multivitamin pills were given to 4,200 pregnant Tanzanian women.The pills contained all the Bvitamins,as well as vitamins C and E. They also embodied iron and other nutrients in levels several times higher than advised for women in industrial nations.

Four thousand other women received a harmless substance(物质). None of the women had the virus that causes the disease AIDS.

68.On what condition can pregnant women in developing countries have healthier babies?
