Why do adults believe that alcoholic awareness programs teach young people not to overdrink? Recently, reading an article about the alcohol-induced deaths of two students from two different universities in Colorado, I came across a theme on teen drinking applicable to parents, school administration, and local government: they just don’t get it.
To use a pun by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who changes WMD to PMD (people of mass destruction), I call much of the adult generation PMNs--people of mass naivete. I say this because adults seem to believe that no child of theirs would touch alcohol before 21. Since that’s unrealistic ,the issue should be: how can kids learn to drink responsibly? The answer: by practising. Like figuring out how to throw a baseball, a person needs to learn by trial and error.
Now, I am not proposing that underage kids should have access to alcohol at all times, but they will never know when they have reached their limit without drinking alcohol first. Trust me, we feel when we have surpassed our limit.
It has often been stressed to my generation that there should always be a designated driver who does not drink. But, realistically, when people go to a bar, are they not supposed to drink? My friend, a willing designated driver, was asked by a friend on the bar why he did not have a drink in his hand. He responded, "I am driving. ’ She then repeated her question while laughing. In other words, college students face intense pressure to drink when they are out socially, even though some manage to withstand it.
The solution I propose is two-fold. First, to parents: if you have children in high school, understand that your kids will drink at parties. Despite the legal drinking age, they will find a way to obtain beer or liquor. While you are home drinking this holiday season, have a drink with your kids and their friends, or at the very least, allow them to have a drink. Ensure they are safe, but also guarantee that they know what they are doing. Please introduce them to alcohol before they go off to college so that, on the first weekend, they don’t drink themselves into the ER. They do this not because they want to drink to get drunk, but because they do not know any better.
Second, to lawmakers: how are teenagers supposed to learn to drink responsibly when they cannot even drink legally with their parents? Having a drink with your parents at a restaurant is a much more adult experience than drinking with them at home. The truth of the matter is that almost all underage drinking is done outside the home, in social circles. So lawmakers should make an exception and allow teenagers ,who are one or two years under the drinking age and accompanied by their parents, to have a drink at a restaurant.
Most of us live in an environment that is geared toward drinking and overdrinking, and adults must face this truth. If they do not wake up and see reality, their kids one morning might not wake up from a night of drinking. [br] Which one can be the best title of the passage?
选项
A、How to Practise Drinking.
B、Don’t Drink Beyond Your Limit.
C、My Personal Opinion on Alcohol Drinking.
D、Teaching Kids to Drink Responsibly.
答案
D
解析
主旨题。B 是针对饮酒者的,不是文章重心所在;本文主要是告诉父母、教育机构以及立法者要面对现实,教育未成年人通过练习有节制地饮酒;C 是干扰项,但作者的意图并非讲述自己的饮酒观,而是提醒青少年的父母和教育立法者应该如何引导;A 在文章中提到了,但只是为了说明父母只有让孩子实践一下,才可以知道自己的酒量,以更好地把握自己的状态,并不是文章重心。所以正确答案为D ,引导孩子适度饮酒,并为自己的行为负责。
