    A caring mother is the single most important factor in preventing teenagers from abusing(滥用)drugs and alcohol，researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems，and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.

 “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use.”said Dr.McArdle of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study.“They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.”   

  The report, which is published in the journal Addiction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England, Ireland, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol. The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were supervised(监护)after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home.

  “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement. But he added a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits.

  The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent. If either factor was missing ,the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent．More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs．

  Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility.

63.The phrase“maternal bond”appears twice in this passage. Guess its meaning.

  A.物质的奖励        B.母亲的约束      C.法律的制裁     D.学校的指导

64. According to McArdle, which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem?

  A. 16-year-old Tom from a happy big family.

  B.17-year-old Kate supervised by her single mother.

  C. 18-year-old Juliet living with her single father.

  D.19-year-old Mark cared by his parents.

65. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

  A. Teenagers with both parents won’t have the drug use problem.

  B. Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire.

  C. Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parents.

  D. Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse.

66. The last paragraph suggests that________________.

  A. schools should answer for the drug problem

  B. television and media are to blame

  C. parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem

  D. mothers are the cause of youth drug use

Hunting for a job is a painful experience, which nearly everyone must endure at least once in a lifetime. Books are published and magazine articles are written on the subject, all trying to tell job seekers what they should do or avoid in order to win the game. They can’t calm the nervous applicant but they do offer some advice.

To begin with, it is not a good idea to be late. Job interviewers don’t think very highly of the candidate（应聘者）who arrives twenty minutes after the appointed time . The wise job seeker explores the place the day before. Next day he arrives early for the appointment.

What makes a good impression? Being on time does, then, appearance. It is essential for the candidate to be dressed properly and to look alive. It is also very important to look the interviewer in the eye because this “eye contact” gives a strong impression of sincerity and openness.

Many candidates waste a good part of the interview explaining why they want the job; the man or the woman on the other side of the desk is waiting to hear why the would-be employee would be good for the position and for the company.

It is a very difficult task to display oneself to possible employer: one must not be too humble, since it is essential to show one’s good points and experiences. However, bragging（说大话）doesn’t make a very good impression. One thing is certain: interview time is a time for honesty. The interviewer is trying to discover not only the professional worth but also the character of the man or the woman he is meeting. Therefore, he must rely on his observation of the applicant, her manners, what she says and how she says it.

While this examination is going on, the job seeker should remember that she too has a right to be curious. It is recommended that the applicant ask some serious questions about the job, the company, and its future. If the questions are intelligent, they will impress the interviewer favorably.

68. The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is to _____________.

A. offer tips on job seeking           B. warn applicants not to be nervous

C. analyze the thinking of interviewers  D. stress the difficulty of job seeking

69. Which of the following shows whether an applicant could benefit the company?

A. How early he/she is.              B. What he/she is wearing.

C. His/Her explanation for the job.     D. His/Her manners.

70. The underlined word “humble” probably means _____.

A. humorous                 B. modest              C. honest        D. talkative

71. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?

A. Job seekers should be as early as possible.

B. Job seekers should be dressed as well as possible.

C. Interviewers pay a lot of attention to applications’ behaviors.

D. Interviewers encourage applicants to ask questions.
