It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time. Simply make all drugs available and sell them at cost. Label each drug with a precise description of what effect—good and bad—the drug will have on the taker. This will require heroic honesty.
For the record, I have tried—once—almost every drug and like none, disproving the popular theory that taking a single smoke of opium will enslave the mind. Nevertheless many drugs are bad for certain people to take and they should be told why in a sensible way.
Along with advice and warning; it might be good for our citizens to recall that the United States was the creation men who believed that each man has the right to do what he wants with his own life as long as he does not interfere with his neighbor’s pursuit of happiness.
Now one can hear the warning; If everyone is allowed to take drugs, everyone will, and the gross national product will decrease and we shall end up a race of foods. Alarming thought. Yet it seems most likely that any reasonably healthy-minded person will become a drug addict if he knows in advance what addiction is going to be like.
Is everyone reasonably sensible? No. Some people will always become drug addicts just as some people will always become drunk, and it is just too bad. Every man, however, has the power to kill himself if he chooses. But since most men don’t, they won’t be the majority, either. Nevertheless, forbidding people things they like or things they might enjoy only makes them want those things all the more. This psychological insight is, for some mysterious reason, denied by our governors. [br] Many people believe that______.
选项
A、taking drugs once in a while will not be harmful
B、a single smoke of opium will make you an addict to it
C、the authorities are honest in dealing with the drug problem
D、it is a heroic activity to destroy all the drugs available
答案
B
解析
选项A与文章信息不符合。选项C和文章的隐含意义相反。选项D不对,因为文章所指的果敢行为是诚实告知大众。根据第二段的首句中的“the popular theory that taking a single smoke of opium will enslave the mind”可知许多人所持有的观点,吸一口鸦片就会使人上瘾,故选B)。
