　　Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following interview.
　　
　　New Delhi
　　
　　Indian health officials say a Dengue fever outbreak has claimed at least 106 lives. Officials say more than 5700 people in 11 Indian states have been affected by the fever since early September. India's capital, New Delhi, is the worst hit. Dengue is a violent infection transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. It can cause a severe flu-like illness and can lead to internal bleeding. Outbreaks of mosquito-borne illnesses are common in India during and after the monsoon season, which ended in September.
　　
　　London
　　
　　Pushed up by soaring oil prices, Britain's trade deficits surged to a record high in the summer. But analysts predicted a slowly improving imbalance in the months ahead. The current account trade deficit increased 2.8% to an all-time high of 118.6 billion pounds in the July-September quarter. The trade department reported Monday that a third-quarter deficit was equaled to 6.8% of the total economy, up from 5.5% of GDP in the second quarter.
　　
　　Gaza City
　　
　　Palestinian gunmen in Gaza have kidnapped a Spanish photographer working for the Associated Press. Emilio Morenatti was abducted early Tuesday morning in Gaza city as he left an apartment building to get into an AP car. The driver of the car says four masked gunmen restrained him and shoved Morenatti into a white Volkswagen and drove away. No one has claimed responsibility so far.
　　
　　South Africa
　　
　　The hunting of lions and other big cats bred in captivity purely to die at the barrel of a gun will be outlawed under legislation that comes into force next year, the government said Wednesday. The Department of the Environment said the new regulations will make it illegal for anyone to kill large predators raised in an enclosed reserve to blunt their survival instincts. It said it would also ban the shooting of lions, cheetahs and leopards in a "controlled environment," where hunters had an unfair advantage over the beasts, as well as forbidding the killing of tranquilized animals.
　　
　　Hawaii
　　
　　The U.S. Pacific state of Hawaii has been declared a disaster area after a strong earthquake early Sunday, causing damage but no serious injuries. The disaster declaration by Hawaii's governor allows her to mobilize the state's National Guard and makes Hawaii eligible for federal emergency funds. The U.S. Geological Survey says Sunday's 6.6 magnitude earthquake was centered in the Pacific Ocean just off the sparsely-populated west coast of the island of Hawaii - the largest in the archipelago. The quake was felt in Honolulu, 250 kilometers away on the chain's most populated island of Oahu. The earthquake triggered landslides, and damaged numerous roads, bridges and buildings. Airports were closed to outgoing flights. Widespread electric outages across the state make communications difficult.
