Other reasons they take that first drink are to be rebellious (反抗的), for curiosity or "kicks" (刺激) or to escape an unpleasant environment. And young people drink and use drugs because alcohol (酒精) and drugs are at hand.
After first experimental use, young people continue to drink or use drugs because they believe these substances can relieve boredom, increase energy, decrease anxiety, solve problems, or help them socially. They may simply like the "high" they get in the early and middle stages of substance use. After continued use, they will drink or use drugs because they become physically and psychologically (心理地) addicted (上瘾的).
Now that we have admitted that we have to solve this problem. We must decide how to deal with this challenge. Winning this will take a great effort involving local, state, and national government. It will require the effort of schools, but it cannot be done by schools alone. It will take family and com munity involvement. Already a great amount of time, energy and expert knowledge has been directed toward dealing with it but the problem continues.
Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason of drinking and using drugs in the passage?
A.the selling of alcohol and drugs
B.pressure from their parents and relatives
C.curiosity
D.their eagerness to experience what is not permissible to them

A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers (消费者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.
If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most — people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or decreasing incomes—he would probably answer, those with decreasing incomes. Actually in the years 1947 ~ 1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions (假设) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true.
The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months, "she said, "we' 11 have pay more for meat and milk; we' 11 have less to spend on other things. "Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer's resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment; "I just don't pay these prices; they are too high. " The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America; The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology (心理学) .
According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way spend their money, he should
A.rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending
B.try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money
C.carry out investigations on consumer behavior. and get data on consumers incomes and money spending motives
D.do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory
A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world's birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations.
Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from their homes instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth. China is one of the nations that has made great progress in reducing its population growth.
China has already cut its rate of population growth by about one half since 1970. China now urges each family to have no more than one child. And it hopes to reach zero population growth, the number of births equaling the number of deaths, by the year 2000.
Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people.
In the sentence "Experts long have been concerned about such growth" of Paragraph 1, the phrase "concerned about" is similar in meaning to ______.
A.worried about
B.related to
C.engaged in
D.made a study of
One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months’ holiday on full pay.At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer.Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.
The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs.The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time.Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away.In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else’s hands.On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.
31.Many workers would like to ___________.
A.dream of long holidays at home
B.spend a long time in unusual places
C.buy a holiday away from home
D.have a long holiday after many years

Some of the computer experiments now going inspire imagination of the future. For example, scientists are working in devices that can electronically perform. some sight and hearing functions, which could make easier for the blind and deaf. They are also working on artificial arms and legs that respond to the electric impulses (脉冲) produced by the human brain. Scientists hope that someday a person who has lost an arm could still have near-normal brain control over an artificial arm.
Video games, computerized effects in movies, and real-life training machines now being used by the U. S. Army are causing some people to predict new educational uses for computers. Computers could someday be used to imitate travel to other planets, to explore the ocean floor or to look inside an atom.
Experiment with electronic banking and shopping inspire predictions that these activities will soon be done from home computer terminals (终端) . Cars, too, might be equipped with computers to help drivers find their way around or to communicate with home and office computers.
Many people, including handicapped (残废的) workers with limited ability to move around, already are working at home using computer terminals. Each terminal is connected to a system at a company's main office. Some futurists say the day may come when few people will have to leave home to go to work—they'll just turn on a terminal.

A.Futurists and Computers
