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."

Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as "geilivable" might find a new regulation very "ungeilivable". The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language.

"Geilivable", combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix (后缀) for adjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool". Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. "Hengeilivable" means "very cool", and "ungeilivable" means "dull, not cool at all".

Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is "antizen", which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants.

David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it's very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. "English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences," Tool said.

At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern.

"The administration is totally 'ungeilivable'," said a netizen named laoda1713. "I know other netizens will shed tears with me... it is a good chance to enrich our language".

"Language is always developing," said a columnist, Wang Pei. "It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom."

But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.

The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at         .   

    A. simplifying the Chinese language    B. limiting the development of language

    C. banning the use of Chinglish    D. making the netizens more serious

The underlined word meager in the third paragraph probably means       

    A. poor    B. flexible    C. high    D. plentiful

From this passage we can infer that         .   

    A. the Chinese people like their own language only

    B. the English words are considered informal in China

    C. nobody in China will support the new regulation

    D. "geilivable" will be popular among Chinese netizens

Which may be the title of this passage?   

    A. New regulation is announced

    B. Cyber words make language lively

    C. Different views about cyber language   

    D. New phenomenon in China

On which column of China Daily can you find this passage?
