In 1985 a France television company sent its reporters to the Paris Metero(地铁). They took cameras to see what  1  would do if they saw someone  2  on the platform or trains. The incidents looked  3  but they were all done with the help of actors. However,  4  people tried to help, and most passengers  5  not to notice. In one of the incidents, a foreigner was attacked by three men. The attack was on a  6  which was quite full, and  7  the man tried to get the other passengers to help, they all  8  . This is not only a French problem. A British newspaper reported in 1991 that a(n)  9  of Social Psychology in New York had sent his students out to  10  their own cars. The students didn't try to  11  what they were doing. About 80 people  12  250 car thefts, and only twelve of them tried to  13  the student robbers. In a typical (典型的)  14  , one man stopped, looked, and then put his hands over his  15  and shouted“I didn't see that!”About forty people  16  to help the thieves, and two people  17  sat down next to the car and waited to buy a camera and television set when a  18  was taking from the back seat of his own car. The professor wonders whether it's a problem of  19  cities or would be the same thing as happens  20  .

In recent years, the world has made progress in reducing deaths among children under the age of five. A new report says an estimated 6.9 million children worldwide died before their fifth birthday. That compares to about twelve million in1990.

The report says child mortality rates have fallen in all areas. It says the number of deaths is down by at least 50 percent in eastern, western and southeastern Asia. The number also fell in North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Ties Boerma is head of the WHO’s Department of Health Statistics and Informatics. He says most child deaths happen in just a few areas.

TIES BOERMA: “Sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia face the greatest challenges in child survival. More than eighty percent of child deaths in the world occur in these two regions. About half of child deaths occur in just five countries—India, which actually takes twenty-four percent of the global total; Nigeria, eleven percent; the Democratic Republic of Congo, seven percent; Pakistan, five percent and China, four percent of under-five deaths in the world.”

Ties Boerma notes that, in developed countries, one child in one hundred fifty-two dies before his or her fifth birthday. But south of the Sahara Desert, one out of nine children dies before the age of five. In Asia, the mortality rate is one in sixteen.  

The report lists the top five causes of death among children under five worldwide. They are pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and problems both before and during birth.

Tessa Wardlaw is with the U-N Children’s Fund. She is pleased with the progress being made in Sub-Saharan Africa. The area has the highest under-five mortality rate in the world. But she says the rate of decline in child deaths has more than doubled in Africa.

TESSA WARDLAW: “We welcome the widespread progress in child survival, but we importantly want to stress that there’s a lot of work that remains to be done. There’s unfinished business and the fact is that today on average, around nineteen thousand children are still dying every day from largely preventable causes.”

The World Health Organization says one way to solve these problems is to make sure health care services are available to women. In this way, medical problems can be avoided or treated when identified.

1.Since 1990, the number of the children who died before 5 in the world has dropped by about__________.

A.6,900,000         B.12,000,000        C.1,200,000         D.5,100,000

2. What does the underlined word “mortality” ( in Paragraph 2)mean?

A.illness            B.reduction         C.death            D.problem

3.According to the passage, the readers are likely to believe that __________.

A.child mortality rates have fallen just in five areas

B.Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest under-five mortality rate in the world

C.in developed countries, no children die before the age of five

D.the world has made little progress in reducing the rates of child mortality

4.______ is the top-one cause of death among children under five worldwide.

A.Global warming     B.Malaria           C.Pneumonia        D.Diarrhea

5.What will be probably referred to in the following paragraph?

A.Women do not want to have babies.

Shaping a child is like shaping clay(粘土)— you have to start from the beginning and work your way to the end with extreme caution but with gentle and loving   16 . However, unlike clay, you don’t get a second   17  with a child. You can put all the clay back together and start again but with a child, what is done is done.   18  it’s even more caution with care.

Building a child’s esteem is no small play; it makes your black hair   19 , steals away years of your life and still will not look done. Therefore you have to learn how to build self-esteem and   20  your child from the beginning. After all, parenting begins from babyhood.

Small case could leave large   21  on your child’s mind. Reason why you should not overlook something that went wrong. If another child   22  your kid, everyone laughed and you told your son to   23  it, that’s the first wrong step. You have to teach your child to   24  up for himself. Don’t let your child fall down inside. Tell him to ask the child why he is hitting him or   25  to the nearest adult he can reach.

Most of all before you speak to a child you have to be a   26  example. If you go around laughing at people, your kids will do the   27 . If you are a coward(懦夫)yourself and do not stand up to situations, do not   28  your child not to follow you. Children are like monkeys—they copy every   29 , from how you eat to how you handle situations.

Building self-esteem begins at home. Small self-confident acts make a(n)   30  impact on your child.

It’s the   36   routine practiced all across the country: wake up the   37  , get them out of bed, make sure everyone has   38  , check to see that the five-year-old has her shoes on, see their teeth are brushed,   39   lunches or lunch money, grab the book bags, and   40   for the door. Life goes like this and   41  thought is required for such a routine. As a   42  , I just get in the zone and get it all done. The mental clock is   43   ticking the whole time.

    One recent morning proved a(n)   44  . “The trees are dancing, mom!” shouted the five-year-old as we pulled out of the driveway. Her conversation about dancing trees went on for several minutes   45   I finally came out of my “accomplish the routine” mindset (心态) and noticed the   46   that day.
