There is a high school nearby, and many of the students come to my store to buy their clothes. This location has other advantages, too.

It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide, "The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness "says the UN’s International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year.The 74-page study says the pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. "Some songs encourage people to take drugs-Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were anormal and acceptable part of a person's lifestyle," the study says.Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (过量用药) . "Such incidents end to be seen as an occasion to mourn(哀悼) the loss of a role model,and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use," it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singer and movie stars--including Elvis Presley, Janice Jophlin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs-have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. "In most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household," the study says.The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drug abuse. "Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being even attractive," says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. "Powerful pressure groups run political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled drugs," he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerable of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way.The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse.The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug(赞成吸毒)messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.36. Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with?A. The use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a person's lifestyle.B. The spreading of pop music may cause drug abuse to beyond country boundaries.C. No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.D. Governments have no ability at act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.37. The expression "under fire" in the first paragraph means___.A. in an urgent situationB. facing some problemsC. being criticizedD. in trouble38.

Which of the following is not mentioned as tolerant of drug abuse?A. The spreading of pop music.B. The media.C. Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups.D. The low price of some drugs.40.

In her life time she earned her country's most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer Prize, and also the 'most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature.Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific output, which consisted of some eighty-five published works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life.Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those two cultures she became, as she described herself, "mentally bifocal". Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer, and a humanitarian and philanthropist.One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without leaning about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes,Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author, is a captivating subject of study.41.

To illustrate the background and diverse interests of Pearl Buck.D. To discuss Pearl Buck's influence on the cultures of the East and the West.42. According to the passage, Pearl Buck was an unusual figure in American literature in that she___.A. wrote extensively about a very different cultureB. published half of her books abroadC. won more awards than any other woman of her timeD.achieved her first success very late in life43.
