Malnutrition (营养不良)
A new World Bank report warns that children who don’t get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage. They may be underdeveloped or underweight. They may suffer from poor health or limited intelligence. In addition, poorly nourished children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.
The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition. Many children who live in homes with plenty of foods utter for other reasons. For example, the study says that mothers often fail to give their newly born babies their first breast milk. This milk-like substance is called colostrum. It is full of nutrients that improve a baby’s ability to fight infections and disease.
The study also links malnutrition to economic growth in poor countries. A lack of nutrition in early children can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings. Many of these same countries have economies that are growing at a rate of two or three percent yearly. The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.
Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition. The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food. The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa. Other parts of world are also severely affected, including Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Guatemala and Peru.
The study recommends that developing countries change their policies to deal with malnutrition. Instead of directly providing food, the study suggests educational programs in health care.
World Bank nutrition specialist Meera Shekar said the period of life between pregnancy and two years was extremely important. Governments with limited resources should take direct action to improve nutrition for children during this period.
Which of the following is true about lasting damage?
选项
A、Too little food is the only cause of lasting damage.
B、Many children living at home with sufficient food have no lasting damage.
C、Mothers should give their new babies the colostrum in ease of lasting damage.
D、The colostrum is full of nutrients but cannot help children overcome lasting damage.
答案
C
解析
推断题。根据第二段可知,孩子产生营养不良不仅是食物不足造成的,文章还提到其他的原因,如:新生儿吃不到母亲的初乳导致新生儿缺乏抵御传染和疾病的能力,因此排除A;根据原文第二段第二句Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons. 可排除B;根据第二段关于colostrum的作用描述,排除D;只有C“给孩子喂养初乳以防止持续的伤害”符合文意。
