The experts on famine noted that several nations still have severe
shortages of food.
However, they said, there is progress.
For example,
China and India have reduced hunger sharply
in recent years, and studies have shown which methods work best at reducing
hunger in other parts of the world.
The experts urged public officials and
aid groups to take four steps to reduce hunger.
The first step is to end famine. They said neutral international organizations should protect
civilian food supplies in areas at war.
They also said nations should improve their
methods of sending food to emergency locations.
The second step is to produce more food for the world's poorest
families.
The best way is with more modern farming methods. The green revolution made it possible
for India and other nations to greatly increase
harvests, yet these farming methods are far from
perfect.
They do not work everywhere,
and they can cause environmental damage.
That is why nations must balance their
agricultural needs and environmental resources.
The third step is to protect mothers and young children against
food shortages. The experts said mothers and young
children suffer the most from hunger.
Many lives can be saved by making sure
they are the first to get assistance.
Finally, the experts
urged efforts to overcome two serious medical
problems linked to food shortages.
The first is lack of iodine.
The other problem is even more widespread.
It is a lack of vitamin A.
Both iodine and vitamin A can be supplied
to people at very low cost.
1. In the first paragraph,
China and India are mentioned as examples

2. According to
the experts,
when two countries are at war, ________.
A. neutral international
organizations should offer enough arms
B. the farmers should

C. the governments should
guarantee enough food supplies to emergency areas
D. mothers and young
children should be protected first.

the green revolution? ________.

Indifferent D. Angry
