问题     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] According to the author, forbidding people to take drugs is______.
选项 A、not an effective way to stop drug addiction
B、unacceptable to the majority of people
C、in the interest of the people and the governors
D、in agreement with the basic rights of citizens
答案 A
解析 根据全文的倒数第二句中的“forbidding people things they like or things they might enjoy only makes them want those things all the more”可知，禁止毒品不是有效的办法，反而 使人更想要毒品。选项D和B与文章信息相反，选项C似乎正确，但实际是错误的，它和作者的观点相违背，禁毒损害了一些人的权益。故选A)。
