Efforts to educate people about the risks of substance abuse (毒品滥用) seem to deter (阻止) some people from using dangerous substances,if such efforts are realistic about what is genuine?ly (真正地) dangerous and what is not. Observed declines in the use of such drugs as LSD(摇头丸) ,PCP(迷幻药) ,and Quaalude (安眠酮) since the early 1970s are probably related to in?creased awareness of the risks of their use,and some of this awareness was the result of warn?ings about these drugs in " underground" papers read by drug users. Such sources are influential (有4艮大的影响) ,because they do not give a simple " all drugs are terrible for you" message. Drug users know there are big variations (变化) in danger among drugs,and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. This is illustrated by the popularity among young marijuana (大麻) users of Reefer Madness,a widely unrealistic propaganda (宣传) film against marijuana made in the 1930s. This film made the rounds of college campuses in the 1970s and joined rock music videos on cable television's MTV in the 1980s. Instead of deterring mari?juana use,it became a cult (风靡一时的) film among users,many of whom got high to watch it.

Although persuasion can work for some people if it is balanced and reasonable,other peo?ple seem immune to the most reasoned educational efforts. Millions have started smoking even though the considerable health risks of smoking have been well known and publicized for years. Moreover,the usefulness of education lies in primary prevention:prevention of abuse among those who presently have no problem. Hence,Bomier's contention (看法,观点) that "if the Pepsi generation can be persuaded to drink pop wine,they can be persuaded not to drink it while driv?ing" is probably not correct,since most drunken driving is done by people who already have significant drinking problems,and hence seem not to be dissuaded (劝阻) even by much stronger measures such as loss of a driver's license.

(   ) 5. The purpose of the passage is to show that the author thinks antidrug education

   A. has made all people see the danger of drugs

   B. has succeeded in dissuading people from using drugs

   C. has been effective only to a certain degree

   D. has proved to be a total failure

(   ) 6. What is the main reason to stop some people from using drugs?

   A. Efforts to reduce drug using.

   B. Increased awareness and warning of the risk of their use.

   C. Punishments seem to be an effective way.

   D. Primary prevention is a useful method.

(   ) 7. The message "all drugs are terrible for you" is not influential because         .

   A. it ignores the fact that drugs vary greatly in danger

   B. it gives a false account of the risks of drug use

   C. some drugs are good for health

   D. it does not appear in underground papers

(   ) 8. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

   A. Are All Drugs Terrible for You?

   B. Do People Believe What Underground Papers Say?

   C. Is There an Increased Awareness of the Risks of Drugs?

   D. Can Persuasion Reduce Drug Abuse?

According to a study,the average Briton believes that youth ends at 35 and old age begins at 58. In between―all 23 years―is your middle age.

The news that 58 is "over the hill" may come as a surprise to anyone who has passed the milestone and feels they are not yet in the twilight (薄暮) of their lives.

They include Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the glamorous (迷人的) actress Jane Seymour,who are both full of energy at 59. Kathryn Bigelow,58, has just won an Oscar for directing the actionpacked movie The Hurt LocA;er (〈〈拆弹部队〉〉) .

The finding that we regard people in their fifties as getting doddery (衰老的) ,despite the evidence that older people are living more active lives than ever,was revealed by academics from the University of Kent to a meeting of the Economic and Social Research Council,in London.

Professor Dominic Abrams,who studied data from 40 ,000 people across Europe,said: "The survey showed that age prejudice―being treated as ' too young' or ' too old' ―is per?ceived to be a serious or very serious issue by 63 percent of respondents,so it is obviously im?portant to know what these age labels mean to people."

A survey asked:when does youth end and old age begin? For the UK,the average re?sponse was that you stop being young at 35 ,and start being old at 58.

But the figures also showed that opinions differed among the age groups. Younger people,those aged 15 to 24,thought youth ended at just 28 and old age began at 54.

Not surprisingly,people in their eighties were more generous. They regarded the final year of youth as 42 ,and the onset of old age as 67.

Professor Abrams,a psychologist,added: " This evidence shows that what counts as young and old is very largely down to the age of the beholder."


(   ) 1. What is the general belief of the Briton towards the age division?

   A. Young ends at 35 old ends at 58.B. Young ends at 35 old begins at 58.

 C. Young begins at 35 old begins at 58. D. Young begins at 35 old ends 58. 


(   ) 2. What is perceived to be a very serious issue among most of respondents?

   A. Age prejudice. B. Age labels. C. Too young. D. Too old.


(   ) 3. Which of the following is the opinion of the younger people?

   A. Old age began at 58. B. Old age began at 67.

   C. Old age began at 54. D. Old age began at 51. 

(   ) 4. What is the purpose of doing this survey?

   A. To know when young begins and when old starts.

   B. Really important to know what these age labels mean to people.

   C. To show the same opinions among the age groups.

   D. To prove that older people are living more active lives than ever.

Say you are a 17th century construction worker who's worked long and hard to build a splendid tower for the dead wife of your emperor.

Now say that the emperor orders your fingertips 1        off so you can never build another one. Yes,that is the Taj Mahal,one of the most 2        buildings in the world. And the 3        behind the construction is just as 4        as the building itself.

First,there's the 5        of northern India,Shah Jehan,also called the King of the World. In 1612,Shah Jehan married Mumtaz Mahal. 6       in love,they had 14 children 7        the next 20 years. But then sadness came. 8       Mumtaz was about to 9        birth to child number 14 ,she said she had heard her unborn baby cry out. It was a 10       of death. And as Mumtaz lay 11       ,she asked Jehan to build a 12       memorial to celebrate their love.

When the heartbroken Jehan 13        eight days after his wife's death,his people were 14        to see that his coalblack hair had turned snowwhite.

Putting away his sadness,Jehan ordered his wife's dying wish 15       . More than 20 ,000 workers labored nearly 22 years to 16 the construction. In 1653,Jehan placed Mumtaz's 17       in the center under the building.

And then,son number five,Aurangzeb,murdered his brothers and took over the 18        from his aging father. Jehan lived the rest of his days―eight years,to be exact 19       not far from the Taj Mahal. Jehan was only allowed to climb onto the top of his prison to see the time?less treasure from a distance. But never again would he be allowed to visit it―until he was bur?ied 20       to his wife.
