III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Alcohol affects the brain; and its immediate effects are more marked on those who are not used to the drug than on regular drinkers. It is not a stimulant but a depressant, which adversely affects concentration, removes inhabitations, and increases the risk of accidents. Under the influence of alcohol people are less able to exercise self-control and may say and do things that they afterwards regret-----perhaps for the rest of their lives. For example, a girl who does not wish to have a baby may be made pregnant by a man whom she would not have chosen as the farther of her child; and a man may make pregnant a woman whom he would not have chosen as the mother of his child. Some other forms of drug taking, like drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco, are part of group behavior. Such drug taking is encouraged by those who are already addicted to the drug, and by those who profit by making and selling the drug. 

I mean one who starts taking a drug may soon become addicted to it. As with all bad habits, it is better not to start drug taking than to suffer the physical and emotional harm caused by the drug and to have the problem of trying to break the addiction. It is best, therefore, to refuse the drugs that is offered. Apart from other considerations, drugs that come from unreliable sources (because their manufacturer and distribution is against the law.) and not available in carefully measured and doses and their purity are not guaranteed. Their effects are unpredictable and they may well be dangerous. If such drugs are offered by so-called friends you wouldn’t be well advised to find new friends, who share your values, and to continue being yourself.
