Pregnancy(妊娠) and childbirth kill more than 536,000 women a year. More than half of the cases happened in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, most of the deaths are preventable with basic medical care.
The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad abortions (流产). Mothers' deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in developed countries.
Experts say that what kill many women are “the three delays”— the woman's delay in deciding to go to the hospital, the time she loses traveling there and the hospital's delay in starting treatment. Only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症)．
Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and inlaws, may decide where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no single solution to a problem with so many factors—shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and transportation—though hospital officials are trying many things now.
One stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers, to perform certain operations. Some African countries are now struggling to train more assistants and midwives (接生婆) , and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals.
But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital. More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle emergencies.
1.Which is not included in the five leading causes of women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?
A. Infection. B. High blood pressure.
C. Traveling long distances. D. Bleeding.
2.The underlined word “stopgap” probably means “________ ”in the passage.
A. final B. temporary C. effective D. instant
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A. The governments of African countries have to take more effective measures to save pregnant women.
B. Developed countries should help African countries reduce mothers'deaths.
C. The husbands in poor countries should take responsibility for their wives'deaths.
D. Most problems that cause women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be treated or prevented.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the future of preventing women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Subjective.

It is said that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.
Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.
Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again.
This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.
1.According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?
A. Over 400 friends in their whole lives
B. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stage
C. 400 internet friends in their whole lives
D. 150 internet friends at a certain stage.
2.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. There is a rule about making friends
B. People with different views can become friends
C. Friendships mean different things to different people
D. Some people would die for their friends if they need to
3.We can learn from the text that most of us_________.
A. need to be with others
B. build friendships late in life
C. are dissatisfied with our friends
D. are frightened to talk to people
4.What is the author’s attitude towards talking to a stranger?

More than four out of five people admit to telling little white lies at least once a day and the preferred way of “being economical with the truth” is to use technology such as cellphones, text messages and e-mails, a survey said last Thursday.
