An international team of doctors and scientists is calling for more focus on the causes of death among young people around the world, age between 10 and 24, saying the issue is largely ignored by policy makers. A study published in the medical journal the Lancet found that 40% of adolescent deaths are caused by various forms of injury.
    Until this research was published there were little data on how many young people die worldwide in which countries and for what reasons. Now a pattern is emerging. The study suggests the death rate is strongly linked to how poor a country is. Most deaths are in the developing world driven by high rate of infectious disease and of maternal death rate. But globally 40% of adolescent deaths are caused by types of injury including road traffic accident, suicide and violent attacks.
1 Why should more attention be paid to young people’s health?
2 What’s the primary reason that makes teenagers die in the world?

选项 A、Their death rate is too high to be neglected.
B、Governments pay little attention to the issue.
C、They want to win the public’s praise.
D、There are little data about them to do research.

答案 B

解析 新闻首句指出,一个由医生和科学家组成的国际团队呼吁关注10到24岁的年轻人的死因,他们指出这个问题在很大程度上被决策者所忽视(largely ignored by policy makers),B项“政府几乎没有对此给予关注”符合新闻内容,故选B项。
