IV. Reading comprehension 20% Read the passage and decide if the statement is true (T) or false (F).         For people in Taiwan, sometimes it’s difficult to imagine what a life without enough food would be like. However, as a matter of fact, a great number of people around the world are suffering from hunger. According to a new report just released by the United Nations, almost one in eight people worldwide doesn’t have enough food. The report mentions that around 842 million people, about 12 percent of the world population, suffer from very serious hunger. Though the figure seems dismal, in fact it has gone down from 17 percent in 1992. The U. N. states that lots of countries still fail to find effective ways to feed their people, and Africa is the region with the highest number of undernourished people. To be more precise, in about 19 African nations, more than a quarter of the population goes hungry. Moreover, about 98 percent of the world’s starving people live in developing countries.         The term “undernourishment” is defined by the World Food Programme (WFP) as “not having enough food for an active and healthy life” and an inability to “meet dietary energy requirement.” The WFP even claimed that currently hunger is the biggest risk to people’s health around the world. It’s a more severe problem than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.One of the main reasons why so many people are hungry is war, which is evidenced by the fact that the developing countries having experienced war in the past 20 years have much greater difficulty feeding their people. What’s worse, many scientists are worried that the situation may deteriorate due to climate change. In other words, hotter climate in more countries will result in less harvest, which will give rise to more hunger in turn.
