    Preventing childhood injuries would seem a tough task. But there’s a long list of proven ways to make the world safer for children. The World Health Organization wants its 193 member nations—and especially those in the developing world, where most deaths from injury occur—to know that accidents don’t have to happen.
    Many prevention strategies used by rich societies are only now being adopted in the developing world. They include strict drunken-driving laws; requirements that wells be covered and swimming pools fenced off; installing window guards in upper-story apartments; having standards for child-resistant lighters; requiring child-resistant packaging of drugs, stove fuel and poisons; and establishing poison-control centers and burn units.
    Traffic injuries are perhaps the most dramatic example of how much could be gained if strategies that have been shown to prevent injury were put in place more broadly. Traffic injuries are the leading cause of death worldwide for 15-to- 19-year-olds and the second-leading cause for children 5 to 14. But the use of seat belts, child seats and helmets, and the institution of "graduated licensing" of new drivers are essentially unknown in many countries.
    For society, the payoff of prevention efforts is huge. For every $ 1 invested in bike helmets and child seats, for example, $29 is saved in health care, disability and lost income costs. But for individuals, prevention is often economically burdensome. According to the WHO report, a factory laborer in a low-income country must work 11 times as long as his counterpart in a high-income country to buy a bicycle helmet. For a child soar, it’s 16 times as long.
    At the same time, some countries have risks not widely shared by others. Death rates from bums are 11 times as high in developing countries as in industrialized ones. European and American boys and girls have virtually equal rates of death from fire. In South Asia and Southeast Asia, however, girls’ mortality is three times that of boys because girls assist in family cooking at an early age; and the heat source is often an open flame on the ground; and female clothes are long and flowing.
    Prevention in those societies may need to include changes as simple—and as difficult—as getting the stove up to waist height.
What is the effective prevention against injuries?
选项 A、Leave the wells and swimming pools open as usual.
B、People who are drunk are forbidden to drive a car.
C、Send a guard near the window if living in an apartment,
D、Resist children to pack drugs, stove fuel and poisons.
答案B
解析 事实细节题。由题干中effective prevention against injuries定位到第二段第一句。从下文可知，有许多种方法可以使用，包括禁止酒后驾车，给高层公寓的窗户安装栅栏以及要求药品、燃料和毒药使用儿童安全包装等。故[B]“禁止喝醉的人开车”与本文意思相符。[A]“让水井和游泳池像往常一样敞开”这与本段第二句意思刚好相反，故排除；[C]“如果住在公寓中，就在窗户附近派一个警卫”与原文意思不符，故排除；[D]“拒绝孩子们去包装药品、燃料和毒药”，这句话对原文的理解有误，故排除。
