原文与解析：

　　The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). (20) It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child's second birthday can have serious and long-lasting impacts.

　　Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. (20) Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.

　　Says IFPRI's Marie Ruel,"They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. (21) And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent."

　　Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation's future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.

　　"This is why we're all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible."

　　The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem.

　　"It's not enough that nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we don't have the politicians on board, and also the... people that implement the programs in the field."

　　Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child's life.

　　(22) Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.

　　"They really did very active promotion of diversity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children."

　　Ruel says countries may take different approaches to reducing child undernutrition. But she says nations will not make progress fighting hunger and poverty until they begin to focus on those critical first thousand days.

　　20. What is the experts' conclusion regarding children's undernourishment in their earliest days of life?

　　21. What does IFPRI's Marie Ruel say about well-fed children in their adult life?

　　22. What did Thailand do to reduce child undernourishment in the 1980s?

　　【小题20】讲座开头就提到专家得出的结论：从怀孕到婴儿两岁之间的营养不良可能导致严重而长期的影响。之后提到预防饥饿将使孩子在身体和心智上都成长得更好。由此可知，最初的营养不良问题将会严重影响幼儿的身心发育。故选 A。

　　【小题21】讲座中提到他们（指那些营养相对较好的儿童）将更有可能在学校里表现良好。他们也会在学校里待更长的时间。成年后，IFPRI 事实上表明营养更好的孩子有着相对更高的薪水，而且领先优势比较明显，有 46%之多。因此答案为选项 B，其中 better pay 是对原文中 higher wages 的同义替换。

　　【小题22】题目考查的是 20 世纪 80 年代的泰国为了减少儿童营养不良的发生所实施的举措。讲座中提到 20 世纪 80 年代的泰国通过招收大量的志愿者到乡下去讲授关于健康和营养的知识，降低了儿童营养不良的几率。故可知答案为 C。
