The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, as do measures. But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.
The United States has more than 17000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.
One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drinking. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005
Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.
The rules govern behavior on campus (校园) and off. With a first violation(违犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second "strike," they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.
Since 2005, 363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike -- and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change behavior and the culture at the university.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that_________.| A．the legal age at the lowest for drinking alcohol is 21 | | B．many colleges consider drinking alcohol to be a crime | | C．drinking alcohol is a necessary and popular campus culture | | D．American colleges and universities have their own alcohol rules |
小题2:Every year the number of the students who die or are injured because of alcohol in the USA added up to about _______.| A．17000,000 | B．1,301,700 | C．601,700 | D．1300,000 |
小题3:If a student has a third strike, he/she should________. | A．have to stop going to school for a time | B．be removed to another school | | C．be locked at home for a period | D．be forced to leave school forever |
小题4:Which of the following statements is supported by the passage ?| A．College students are not allowed to drink alcohol at any time.. | | B．If students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol . | | C．Students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine | | D．Students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike |
小题5:We can infer ________from the last two paragraphs.| A．alcohol rules have no effect on college students | | B．drinking alcohol remains a serious problem | | C．alcohol rules aim to change behavior and the culture at the university. | | D．the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way. |

Cyber Cafe computer centers are found in many cities around the world. Now, a few American high schools are opening these centers. For example, high school in the state of Maryland began operating a Cyber Cafe last March. All students at Bethesde-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda can use the Cyber Cafe. But school officials say I especially helps students who have no computer or cannot use the Internet at home.

The Café now has sixteen computer, a printer and a device called a scanner . School official Ann Hengerer (HEN-grr-er) says students use the Internet to complete research. They also write homework and required papers on the computers. In addition, they can send and receive electronic mails. That is especially helpful for the many students who have family members in other nations.

Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youth fill Internet cafes, switch on a game console (游戏机), or otherwise sit down to enter fantasy worlds. I’m talking about video games. These games can be fun and exciting, but we need to look out when this pastime becomes an addiction.
Games are often quite exciting and dramatic, but they generally aren’t very intellectual. We don’t learn as much from them as we would only reading a book. Spending too much time playing them can take away our study time. We need to remember that we are students first. Nothing should ever get in the way of proper studying.
Video games can also be a bad effect on younger children who may be watching. Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill the other player(s). This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to deal with situations maturely. Even if we do need to sit down and play a violent video game, we need to make sure that it is not affect the younger people around us.
Playing a computer game in our spare time is not a bad thing. Games can be a great way to relax after studying, to connect to our friends, or just to help our creativity. However, games should not become the focus of our life. We need to make sure that laying games never interferes with our studies and that we aren’t thinking about them all day. If we ever find ourselves playing them too much, we need to break the addiction. If that happens, we need to step away from the computer or television screen and learn to spend our time more productively.

not to affect younger people around

Children who drink alcohol with their parents are less likely to binge drink (狂饮)in later life, a recent report claimed yesterday.
The survey of 10,000 teens aged 15 and 16 found 75 per cent have drunk alcohol - but those who do it in moderation(适度地)at home are less likely to go on binges.
On the other hand, the findings contradict a recent call from charity Alcohol Concern for parents. Prof Mark Bellis, of Liverpool John Moores University, told Radio 4"s Today programme that this would only make matters worse.
He said: "The key points are around people understanding alcohol, learning about alcohol, being set a good example by parents. Something that criminalises(宣布有罪) the parent is likely to stop these things happening."
Teenagers who bought their own alcohol outside the home were also more likely to develop problems such as drinking in public places, the report found. It advised parents to keep pocket money below £10 a week.
Prof Bellis, whose team carried out the survey in schools in the North West, added: "By the age of 14 the majority are drinking.
"The question is, are they learning in a proper environment or learning behind the bushes in a park or in a bar?
"The chances are if they are in the latter position, they are learning to binge drink easily."
小题1:The author writes the passage mainly to tell us that________.| A．Home Drink Kids don’t Binge | | B．A Recent Report on problem boozers is announced | | C．Parents are a good example for children | | D．The prevention of binging drink is possible |
小题2:Which of the followings is WRONG according to the passage?| A．The report says children who drink alcohol with their parents have little chance to become boozers in later life easily. | | B．Prof Mark Bellis thinks the findings doesn’t help prevent binge drink | | C．Children learn to binge drink in an advantageous environment as well as in a bad situation. | | D．Prof Mark Bellis thinks that parents should be a good model for children |
小题3:Which of the following is the closest to the underlined word “contradict” in meaning ？| A．are the same as | B．are similar to | | C．think well of | D．disagree with |
小题4:Prof Bellis thinks the key to dealing with the problem is________.| A．examples and understanding | | B．education and punishment | | C．lowering pocket money | | D．law and advice centres |
小题5:We can infer from the passage that________.| A．Parents should answer for those who binge drink | | B．Drinking is a common and acceptable thing in Brtain | | C．Well-behaved parents usaully don’t have children who binge drink | | D．Teenagers who drink outside the home were more likely to develop drinking problems . |
