The charts above show the new estimates (left hand panel) compared with those for 2010 (right hand panel). Detailed comparisons are complicated by the fact that many of the plots are for slightly different periods. But the big change is clear: instead of a sharp rise and fall in 2008-10, tracking the world food-price spike, the number of hungry people in 2012 chart stayed stable throughout the 2000s.
The～estimates have significant implications. The world is not doing quite such a bad job of feeding itself as many people fear. At the moment, food prices are rising again for the third time in five years, leading to renewed worries about a food crisis and to demands for strong intervention（干预）in world food markets. The new figures suggest the worries may be overdone and so are the demands that accompany them. Social protection measures seem to work. A simple measure of how well the world is doing is the first millennium(千年）
development goal, which calls for halving the proportion of people who suffer from hunger between 1990 and 2015, i.e. from 23% in 1990 to 11.5% in 2015．The proportion now is 14.9%, only slightly above target.
67. What does the word \ A. Something extremely sad but not man-made. B. Something unexpected or unnatural.
G. Something lucky, but not normally possible. D. Something dishonorable or shameful.
68. What can we leam from the chart of the 2012 report?
A. An increasing number of people suffered from hunger throughout the 2000s. B. In 2009,more than one billion people were going hungry globally.
C. In 2011，868 million people suffered from hunger in the world.
D. There was a sharp rise and fall in the number of hungry people in recent years. 69. By mentioning the first millennium development goal, the author indicates that____ A. world food markets need strong intervention to avoid food crisis B. the world is doing a relatively good job in feeding itself
C. half of the people in the world won't suffer from hunger by 2015 D. the goal itself will end up with a more serious situation 70. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To warn the world of the seriousness of global hunger.
B. To clarify whether world hunger is so serious as to be out of control. C. To compare FAO's 2010 and 2012 world hunger reports.

Tired of your old car and want to move on to a new one? Or mavbe you iust don't have． any use ror the car anymore wnue suit covenng the expenses-I wry not sell it仍someone
who wants it and will take good care of it. You'll get some profit in return, and you won'tb have， to be burdened with a car that will be more useful to others.
The first step to selling your used car would be to prepare the car for the sale. Make sure that it is still in a useful condition. What use is there for the buyer if the car doesn't even work?
You'll never get buyers if the car is in such a poor state. So it's best to make your car
presentable and competent. Take good pictures of your car, and make a list of its features that you think would appeal to potential buyers.
The next course to take would be to get the word out that you're selling your car. You can do it by. making an ad in the newspapers or magazines, or you can use the Web and advertise through an Internet auction. Make sure that in your ad, you write down the car's features and condition as honestly as you can. If you're not sure on how to make an ad, browse through automotive（汽车的）magazines and issues and take a look at how the other sellers do it. If your car is one of the new models in the automobile industry, you might be able to attract a lot of buyers. It would be best to make some improvements to your car, at least on its appearance. Make it obvious that it is a new model. If you're selling an old car, though, it might take more work to improve the car's appearance. You will also have to make sure the car still functions as well as new. There may be instances where you will have to chats some things to the car to make it more attractive to buyers. Be careful with the electrical and
electronic parts of the car when cleaning it. Check the engine, too, and make sure you have it fully charged and the oil and filter have been changed.
When doing the financial transaction for the sale, insist on a cash payment, or cashier's check. Just make sure that the money has already arrived in your account before signing over the title to your buyer. Never accept a personal check, though. It is not advisable, especially with such an amount. Once you've settled these things with your buyer, you can hand over the signed title and the key to the car, and move on with your own purchase of a new car.
