阅读理解 The United Nations says forty million people or so around the world went hungry in 2008, mainly because of higher food prices. Early estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that 963 million people did not get enough to eat. World food prices have dropped since early 2008. Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high compared to earlier years. But FAO official Hafez Ghana says lower prices have failed to end the food crisis（危机）in many poor countries. For millions in developing countries, he says, getting enough food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream.” The FAO says food shortage is a threat to people's health. Today, two-thirds of the world's undernourished people live in just a few countries. These are India, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ethiopia and so on. A report on food insecurity warns that the current economic crisis could send even more people into hunger and poverty. In sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of the people who continually go hungry fell from 34% in 1997 to 30% in 2008. But the FAO says Ghana is the only country that has reached two sets of hunger reduction targets. These were set by the 1996 World Food Summit and the Millennium Development Goals. The main reason is the growth in agricultural production in Ghana. The FAO says some countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand and Vietnam have made progress in hunger reduction goals. But South Asia and Central Asia haven't, and North Korea is still in hot water.1.What FAO official Hafez Ghana says implies _________.A.it's easy but takes long to provide people with enough foodB.enough food can make people more active and healthierC.there is difficulty solving the food shortage in a short timeD.people in developing countries will never get enough food2.Ghana has reached the targets of hunger reduction mainly because of ________.A.the still high food pricesB.the donation of developed countriesC.the two targets of hunger reductionD.the growth in agricultural production3.The underlined word “undernourished” in Para. 4 probably means _________.A.hungry and unhappyB.unhealthy for lack of foodC.not fat because of povertyD.undeveloped and poor4.Which country has not made progress in hunger reduction?A.North KoreaB.ThailandC.VietnamD.Ghana5.What is the best title of this passage?A.The food production of the worldB.The hunger reduction target of the FAOC.The food shortage around the worldD.The solution to the global food shortage
