18．Drunken driving-sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder-has become a national epidemic （流行病）．Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers，adding up to an incredible 250，000 over the past ten years．
A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours．Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts，but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies，especially concerning young children，that public opinion is no longer so tolerant．
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21，reversing a trend （逆转潮流） in the 1960s to reduce it to 18．After New Jersey lowered it to 18，the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled，so the state recently upped it back to 21．Reformers，however，fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop"responsible attitudes"about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink．
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already，to a marked drop in accidents，some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks．A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was"obviously drunk"and later drove off the road，killing a nine-year-old boy．
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state，some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national ban of alcohol that began in 1919，which President Hoover called the"noble experiment"．They forgot that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking，but encouraged political corruption （腐败） and organized crime．As with the booming drug trade generally，there is no easy solution．

31．What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey？D
A．Young drivers were usually bad．
B．Drivers should not be allowed to drink．
C．Some drivers didn't surprise the legal drinking age．
D．The legal drinking age should be raised．
32．The underlined word"lenient"in the first paragraph meansC．
A．serious      
B．cruel           
C．merciful    
D．determined
33．Which of the following statements best shows the writer's opinion of drunken driving？A
A．It is difficult to solve this problem．
B．It may lead to organized crime．
C．The new laws can stop heavy drinking 
D．There should be no bars to serve drinks．
34．In America，the number of people killed by drunken drivers on average isC．
A.3 per day                    
B.250，000 over the last 10 years
C.72 each day                      
D．less than 500 each week
35．Drunken driving has become a major national problem becauseB．
A．drinking is America's socially accepted habit
B．most Americans drink quite a lot
C．not many people realized the severe subsequences caused by heavy drinking
D．publicity did not pay much attention to road accidents．

16．Relax During a Job Interview
Few people actually like job interviewing．It's nerve-wracking trying to show your"best"self to a perfect stranger．（16）GThat's not easy，but there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident．
Prepare solid talking points．It's always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not only researching the company and the person interviewing you，but also by preparing answers and practicing those responses．Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated each one．（17）B
Remember：It's a two-way street．This is conversation，not an interrogation（审问）（18）DRemembering that this is a back and forth discussion，where you can-and-should ask questions as well as answer them，can help you feel more comfortable．
Just breathe．（19）AYour body will relax a lot．You want to avoid upper chest breathing，as it tends to just move you，stress upward to your face．
（20）Fif you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses，you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected．Turn off your negative self-talk and then create a different self-talk message，like，"I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do．"
Work it out．Putting in some gym time on the morning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension．Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physical manifestations（表现形式）of stress such as restlessness．
A．Before you walk into your interview，take a few deep breaths．
B．This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organization for which you're interviewing．
C．When faced with an interviewer，you may be nervous．
D．Don't forget that you're not the only one being interviewed-you're also interviewing the organization．
E．Put your idea into practice．
F．Stop the negative thoughts．
G．You're trying to prove you're the one for the job and that you can handle stressful situations．
3．One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．A young couple ahead of me chattered nonstop between （33）themselves．I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking．I admired his patience for putting up with her constant parade of words．（34）Disturbed/Having been disturbed（disturb） by their noise，I moved on．
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase（35）whenthe couple approached the exit．Before they left，the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He extended it into a long cane and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket．
"He's a brave man，"the clerk at the counter said．"Most of us would give up （36）ifwe were blinded at such a young age．During his recovery，he made a vow his life wouldn't change．So，as before，he and his wife come in （37）wheneverthere's a new art show．"
"But what does he get out of the art？"I asked．"He can't see．"
"You are wrong．He sees a lot．More than you or I do，"the clerk said．"His wife describes each painting （38）so thathe can see it in his mind．"
I learned something about patience，courage and love that day．I saw the patience of a young wife（39）describing（describe） paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to alter his life．And I saw the（40）shared（share） between two people as I watched this couple walk away with their arms intertwined．
