Question

【題目】Children form opinions about drugs and alcohol at a very early age. Even four and five year olds have definite opinions about alcohol. Preschoolers, because of the commercials they see on TV, often think that alcohol helps people have more fun and be better athletes! Images of alcohol are everywhere in out society—consumption of alcohol is represented twice per hour in daytime shows, and three times in an average evening program.

Despite the wide spread of alcohol in our society, and the problems that can be connected with it, many parents feel uncomfortable when talking about alcohol with their children, or are not sure when and how to start. Many parents believe that teenage drinking is something that their children would never be involved in.

Unfortunately, teenage drinking is very common in North Dakota. In a state wide survey of adolescents in junior and senior high school. Only 24% claimed to have never consumed alcohol. When asked about their drinking in the past 30 days:

·61% adolescents reported drinking

·42% drank five or more drinks in a row

·17% reported binge drinking

·4.2% reported driving and drinking

Other research on rural youth in North Dakota has found that about 10% of a sample of fifth and sixth graders were engaged in frequent drinking. Teenagers who reported alcohol use (especially those who began use in late elementary school and junior high school) were more likely to be depressed, feel less positive about both their family and friends, and have poorer grades.

Research has found that children and even teenagers look to their parents in making decisions about important things in their life. Decisions about using alcohol are undoubtedly something that parents will want to provide guidance about. Here are some suggestions about talking to children about alcohol.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。第一自然段Preschoolers, because of the commercials they see on TV, often think that alcohol helps people have more fun and be better athletes!意思是：學(xué)前的孩子，通過(guò)一些電視廣告，經(jīng)常認(rèn)為酒精能夠幫助人們獲得更多的樂(lè)趣，成為更好的運(yùn)動(dòng)員。這是一個(gè)誤區(qū)。故選B。
