14．Teenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence，a Cardiff University study has found．
    A team from the School of Dentistry's Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11-16 in England．They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit，even if they weren't violent themselves．
    The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk．Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization．
    More than 4，000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North，the Midlands，London，and the South．The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily，with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year．By the age of 16，40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day．The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year．
    The study，which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence，found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people．
    However，children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit．Adolescents（青少年） who drank but didn't get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight．
    Professor Jonathan Shepherd，who led the research，said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders（惹事的人） rather than the victims．His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the first two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the"teachable moment"，that is，immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness．
    Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination，poor decision-making in threatening situations and isolation while out late at night．He said，"This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization．There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury．"
42．The main idea of the passage is that teenagers who drink alcoholC．
A．often offend other people
B．often become injured
C．are more likely to fight with others
D．are more likely to become victims of violence
43．The research argues that more effort should be made toC．
A．reduce aggression                
B．prevent fighting
C．reduce victimization           
D．prevent drinking alcohol
44．Drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of all the following EXCEPTC．
A．reduced physical co-ordination         
B．isolation while out late at night
C．a higher frequency of hitting other people
D．poor decision-making in threatening situations
45．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Professor Shepherd's research？C
A．The frequency of children getting drunk increases with age．
B．Some children missed school because of drunkenness．
C．His previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders．
D．This new study shows a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization．

13．Most students do an IQ test early in their school career．Even if they never see their results，they feel that their IQ is（61）whatdetermines how well they are going to do in life．When they see other students doing（62）better（well）than them，they usually believe those students have（63）ahigher IQ and that there is nothing they can do （64）tochange（change） facts．
However，new research into EQ suggests that success is not （65）simply（simple） the result of a high IQ．While your IQ tells you how（66）intelligent（intelligence） you are，your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence．Professor Salovery，who（67）invented（invent） the term EQ，gives the following description：At work，it is IQ （68）thatgets you promoted．Supported by his academic research，Professor Salovery suggests that when（69）predicting（predict） someone's future success，their character，（70）asmeasured by EQ tests，might actually matter more than their IQ．

Many Europeans can speak several foreign languages．You will find this is quite common if you have chance to visit Europe．Here are some reason．Firstly，because the area of most European countries is relative small，they often trade with each other．So the people lived there can travel abroad frequently．That is to say，it was necessary that Europeans should master several foreign languages．Secondly，the birth of the European Community help promote the economic，political，and culture ties between those countries．Besides，many of the languages spoken in Europe，what have a lot of commo n，belong to the same language family．Thus it is much more easier for Europeans to learn a foreign language．That is why Europeans can speak several kinds of languages．
