Good evening and welcome to tonight’s lecture. My topic today is how to address the problem of hunger and starvation, which still exists in many parts of the world. To end hunger starts with people’s own productivity. A dangerous commonplace we often hear is: give a man a fish and feed him for a day: teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. People living with chronic hunger have generations of wisdom about "fishing"—the problem is the barbed wire around the lake. The hunger project announced recently by the United Nations cut through the barbed wire, addressing the underlying social conditions that systematically deny hungry people the opportunity they need to end their own hunger. When we invest in a hunger project, we are investing in people’s productivity and giving people a chance to translate their hard work into improved well-being. We are ensuring that people get the opportunities which are rightfully theirs. Too often hungry people are isolated, marginalized and exploited. Mobilizing communities and building local organizations are critically important—both to sustain the work we do and to get more out of our precious resources and efforts. When people come together to work, a kind of social capital is created that can compensate for the lack of financial capital in rural areas. In Africa, a unique feature of the hunger project’s work is to organize villages to work cooperatively on community land to produce food for food banks. This fosters collective responsibility and action for a better future for all. Another example is in some Asian countries, such as India and Bangladesh, where hunger project volunteer animators have initiated the creation of over 1,100 local organizations throughout the country. With nearly 50% ran by women, these local groups create savings programs and invest in individual and collective income generating enterprises, including sowing, tailoring and weaving projects, bakeries and small businesses, fish and poultry farming, bee keeping and plant nurseries. The impact of these enterprises is enormous.[19]As women have become economically empowered, the decision-making roles have increased. As family incomes have often tripled, parents are sending more children—both girls and boys—to school.
16. What is the first thing to end hunger?
17. What is the aim of the hunger project announced recently by the United Nations?
18. What is critically important to sustain the work we do?
19. What has increased as women became economically empowered?
选项
A、Improving the underlying social conditions of production
B、Investing more hunger projects of ending people’s hunger.
C、Ensuring that people get the opportunities of working hard.
D、Giving people a chance to turn their hard work into well-being.
答案
D
解析
讲座中间提到:最近美国推行了一项“饥荒工程”,旨在给人们提供机会,将他们的努力工作转化为更好的生活,D项中turn...into是讲座中translate…into的同义表达,故D项正确。讲座中提到饥荒工程打破铁丝网的禁锢,改善阻碍穷人脱贫的基本社会环境。A项“改善生产力的基本社会环境”在讲座中有提到,但这只是帮助人们摆脱饥饿的前提条件。讲座提到当我们投资饥饿工程的时候,实际上是在投资人们的生产力,讲座并没有说要“投资更多有关摆脱饥饿的工程”,故B项错误。讲座说的是给他们提供机会,使他们能将自己的辛勤付出转化为更好的生活,确保人们享有他们应有的这一权利,而不是C项“确保人们得到辛勤工作的权利”,故C项错误。
