October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the United States. The observance seek to educate the public about this issue which affects millions of people each each year. Five years ago, the United Nations published results of a study about domestic violence. It found that as many as 275 million children worldwide witness violence in the home. These boys and girls represent a secret society of sufferers. Officials say they are the forgotten victims of domestic violence. Research shows such children face a greater risk of problems in school, emotional disorders, and drug abuse, among other things. Many children who witness violence at home grow up to become abusers or victims themselves. That is why the UN Children's Fund calls domestic violence" one of the most important human rights challenges of our times." The congressional hearing was held last week to educate American policy makers about the problem. Domestic violence is defined as any form of behavior used to gain power or control over another person. It can include verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse. The National Institute of Justice and The Centers for Disease Control say one in four American women will suffer some form of domestic violence in her lifetime. One and a half million women are physically attacked or raped each year. In the United States, three women die each day because of violence in the home. The problem is believed to be even more widespread than these numbers suggest. Many cases of domestic violence are never reported. Victims often feel responsible for the abuse they suffer. They also experience a strong sense of shame or dishonor. This is even truer among men, who are less likely to report abuse. Studies show that one in thirteen men in the United States is a victim of domestic violence. Domestic Violence Awareness Month seeks to bring these issues out into the open, and to get more people involved in finding a solution. Officials say knowing the facts about domestic violence may help save lives and end the cycle of violence.1.[单选题]Domestic violence against children should be paid more attention, because____.A.children are too young to bear the violenceB..more violence's cases are against children than adultsC.children's lives are impacted more seriouslyD.children can not protect themselves well2.[单选题]The word"verbal"in the 5th paragraph probably means____.A.something is expressed in speechB.something related to violent actionsC.something that can cause strong feelingsD.something connecting with a person's body3.[单选题]According to the report of The National Institute of Justice and The Centers for Disease Control,____.A.1.5 million American women experienced domestic violence in their lifetimeB.3 American women are killed in domestic violence each dayC.3/4 American women victims are physically attacked or raped each yearD.more than half of the cases of domestic violence are never reported4.[单选题]The cases of domestic violence against men are____.A.extremely fewB.insignificantC.ot included in the reportD.less likely to be reported5.[单选题]According to the United Nation's study published 5 years ago,____.A.more children than woman became victims of domestic violenceB.Children victims of domestic violence were previously neglectedC.275 million children in the US suffer from domestic violence each yearD.children victims have organized a secret society of sufferers
