Thousands of people have been killed in a massive(大規(guī)模的) earthquake in Japan. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.
The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引發(fā)) tsunami warnings（海嘯警報(bào)）across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.
　　In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately（普通的） damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize（使降到最低） the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan.

Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US, the government politely said no.

    “We don’t know whether the food is safe,” said Zambia’s commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel.

His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America’s genetically modified（GM,轉(zhuǎn)基因的）crops．Just last week, EU（歐盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US．

Ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed（雜交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other．

But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.

This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.

At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.

    Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．

    People in China are also getting worried about GM foods. More than 70 percent of the

country’s soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans. Meanwhile, an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products. The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them.

1.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Harmful GM foods                                 B. Advantages of GM foods

C. GM foods, a health risk?                            D. the Techniques of GM foods

2.Why has Zambia refused the American free maize?

A. they decide to follow EU member’s advice

B. they are concerned about the safety of GM foods

C. they care little about the problem of starvation  

D. they are too proud to accept free offer

3.It has been proved that _________.

A. GM foods are harmful to people’s health   

B. GM food is no better than naturally produced foods

C. only related plans could be crossed with each other

D. GM techniques can increase the production of crops

4.Which of the following statement is TRUE?

A. GM foods are a health risk.

B. Only Zambia worries about the safety of GM foods .

C. China’s government hasn’t taken any action about GM foods. 

D. Some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from GM foods.

5.What’s the author’s attitude towards GM foods?

A. Supportive.        B. Neutral.         C. Doubtful.        D. Critical.

Ethiopia has greatly reduced its death rates for children under the age of five years during the last two decades, new UN statistics show. The report says Ethiopia has cut the number of child deaths, by two thirds or so, to 68 per 1,000 births compared to that in 1990.

The government owed the improved figures to its growing economy. Despite the reduction, the UN Children's Fund said Ethiopia needed to do much more to improve health facilities(設(shè)施) for pregnant women.

Ethiopia is one of Africa's poorest states, although it has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years and is one of the continent's leading coffee producers. Its economy centers around agriculture, which in turn relies on rainfall.

The BBC's Emmanuel Igunza in the capital, Addis Ababa, says Ethiopia was once representative of poor nutrition in Africa. But the latest UNICEF(聯(lián)合國(guó)兒童基金會(huì)) figures show Ethiopia is one of the few African countries on the path to realizing the development goal of reducing child death rates, he says.

Ethiopia's Health Minister Kesetebirhan Admasu said increasing family incomes had helped improve people's health. "This has also resulted in better nutrition for children and women; this has translated into better medical conditions —— all these have a direct or indirect influence on the survival of children," he told BBC Africa. He said the government has also been "aggressively expanding its primary health care network". 

"We have now 93% coverage( 覆蓋) of one health centre for 25,000 people, which basically means one health facility within a 7km area," he said.

1.How many in 1000 births would die in Ethiopia in 1990?

A. about 680                 B. about 330         C. about 68                 D. about 200

2.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Ethiopian children benefit from its fastest economy growing.

B. Ethiopia has a long way to go to improve health facilities.

C. Ethiopia is the economic center because of its rich rainfall.

D. Ethiopia has already become a rich state in Africa.

3.What do we know according to the latest UNICEF figures?

A. Many African countries have high child death rates now.

B. Ethiopia is the only country that has reduced child death rates.

C. Ethiopia is the most successful in reducing child death rates.

D. Ethiopia was once known for its poor nutrition in Africa.

4.What Kesetebirhan Admasu said shows that_______.

A. agricultural incomes have helped improve all the people's health in Africa

B. now the health care network is perfect in Ethiopia

C. 93% of the 25,000 people enjoy health centers in Ethiopia

D. the government has been taking active measures to improve people's health
