On Nov. 15, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised “immediate skin - to - skin care for survival of preterm(早产的) babies”. That’s what kangaroo care is. A good way to help a preterm baby survive is simply to hold it close to a parent’s naked chest. That is how kangaroo moms hold their babies in their pouch.　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　
In 1978, two physician researchers introduced the technique at the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Colombia. They were hoping to find a way to reduce the country’s high death rate for preterm babies—about 70% at the time. Formerly, these babies were placed in incubators (恒温箱)—when they were available—to control the babies’ temperatures and provide enough oxygen. But resource - poor countries like Colombia have few incubators.
Kangaroo care works, researchers believe, because the babies pick up heartbeat and breathing rhythms from the parents’ bodies, helping to stabilize their own heartbeat and breathing. The body warmth of a parent also helps control the baby’s temperature.
The researchers published their results in 1983. They presented their results that year at a UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会) conference: The babies in kangaroo care sleep more, and cry less, than those in incubators. UNICEF, recognizing the potential of kangaroo care, began distributing information on the technique worldwide. Since then, the practice has slowly spread around the world. Fathers are being involved as well. According to a study by the WHO, starting kangaroo care immediately after birth has the potential to save up to 150, 000 baby lives each year.
The latest country to encourage this practice is Ivory Coast. With the help of UNICEF, the University Hospital Medical Center in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, opened its first kangaroo care ward (病房). In the ward, the mother is available to the baby around the clock. This care unit is under the guidance of Dr Chantière. It’s a pilot program to educate parents in a technique not widely known in the country.
“The fathers see the importance of the closeness of the babies to the mother’s body,” says UNICEF representative Mark Vincent. “They realize they can do it as well.”

答案： 12. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That’s what kangaroo care is. A good way to help a preterm baby survive is simply to hold it close to a parent’s naked chest. That is how kangaroo moms hold their babies in their pouch.”可知，袋鼠式护理是帮助早产婴儿存活的一个好方法，其做法是将早产儿紧贴在父母赤裸的胸膛，这跟袋鼠妈妈抱孩子的方式一样。由此可知，“袋鼠式护理”这一术语来自袋鼠妈妈抱孩子的方式。
13. A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They were hoping to find a way to reduce the country’s high death rate for preterm babies”和“But resource - poor countries like Colombia have few incubators.”可知，这两名研究人员之所以推行袋鼠式护理，是想降低早产儿的高死亡率，而像哥伦比亚这种资源贫乏的国家几乎没有护理早产儿的恒温箱。由此可推知，医疗设备的缺乏使得这两名研究人员在哥伦比亚推行袋鼠式护理。
14. B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“UNICEF, recognizing the potential of kangaroo care, began distributing information on the technique worldwide. Since then, the practice has slowly spread around the world.”可推知，对袋鼠式护理在世界范围的推广起最大作用的是联合国儿童基金会在认识到其潜能后付出的巨大努力。
15. C 标题概括题。本文主要介绍了袋鼠式护理的起源、发展以及影响等，旨在说明这种护理方法值得在全球范围内推广，故 C 项是最佳标题。
