问题 What does the UN report find about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster?
A United Nations’ report on the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine almost 20 years ago says the number of deaths caused by radiation is likely to be far lower than first feared. The study says up to 4,000 people could eventually die. Earlier expectations were that the number of victims could be in the tens of thousands. It also says that so far about 50 deaths have been directly attributed to radiation from the disaster. Here’s our environment correspondent Tim Hirsch:
     This study concludes that an even bigger public health problem has been caused by persistent myths and misconceptions about the threat of radiation among some 350,000 people evacuated from the area. The study also found there was no evidence for increased numbers of deformed babies or fertility problems in the Chernobyl region. The overall message seems to be that fear and misinformation prove to be a bigger threat than the radiation itself.

选项 A、The radiation is still affecting people’s lives.
B、Much fewer people would die from the disaster than first believed.
C、More people would die from the disaster than first believed.
D、The number o{ deformed babies in the region is increasing.

答案 B

解析
