【答案解析】[解析] 29-32 Preventing childhood injuries would seem a tough task. But there's a long list of proper ways to make the world saferfor children. (29) The World Health Organization wants its 193 member nations and especially those in the developingworld, where most deaths from injury occur to know that accidents don't have to happen. Many prevention strategies applied by rich societies are only now being adopted in the developing world. (30) Theyinclude strict drunken-driving laws, requirements that wells be covered, installing window guards in upper-storyapartments, and establishing poison-control centers and burn units. Traffic injuries are perhaps the most dramatic example of how much could be gained if prevention measures could becarried out more broadly. (31) Traffic injuries are the leading cause of death worldwide for 15-to-19-year-olds and thesecond-leading cause for children 5 to 14. But the use of seat belts, child seats and helmets is still not required in manycountries. For society, the payoff of prevention efforts is huge. For every $ 1 invested in bike helmets and child seats, forexample, $ 29 is saved in health care, disability and lost-income costs. But for individuals prevention is ofteneconomically burdensome. Parents have to work longer and harder if they want to improve their children's safetycondition. At the same time, some countries have risks not widely shared by others. Death rates from bums are 11 times ashigh in developing countries as in industrialized ones. European and American boys and girls have virtually equal rates ofdeath from fire. (32) In South Asia and Southeast Asia, however, girls' mortality is three times that of boys becausegirls assist in family cooking at an early age.
