问题     Aspirin is one of the safest and most effective drags invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild. It is also cheap.
    For millions of people suffering from arthritis, it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.
    Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of tree barks and leaves which today are known to contain a chemical found in aspirin. During the-19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.
    A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by affecting some of the body’s reactions. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice. [br] The author of this passage seems to be ______.
选项 A、against aspirin
B、in favor of aspirin
C、ignorant of aspirin
D、disinterested in aspirin
答案 B
解析 从作者在文中所用的词(safest，most effective，most popular，effective，cheap， the only thing that works)可看出作者对阿司匹林是持肯定态度的，所以选项B正确。
