42、ces, only one in every eight Americans now lives on a farm. The recent population trend has been a double one, toward both urbanization and suburbanization. Metropolitan areas have grown explosively in the past decade, and nearly half this increase has been in the suburbs. With the rapid growth of c

43、ities has come equally rapid decentralization. The flight of Americans from the central city to the suburbs constitutes one of the greatest migrations of modem times; quite residential sections outside cities have become conglomerations of streets, split-level houses, and shopping centers. This spur

44、t of suburban expansion, however, does not alter the basic fact that the United States has become one of the most urban nations on the face of the earth. Census Bureau figures show that the rural population has been shrinking steadily since 1830. When the United States became a nation it had no larg

45、e cities at all; today some fifty cities have population of more than 258,000. Mammoth complexes of cities are developing in the area of the East Coast and the east north-central states, on the Pacific and Gulf coasts, and near the shores of the Great Lakes. Some sociologists now regard the entire 6

46、00mile stretch between Boston and Washington D. C. - an area holding a fifth of the countrys population - as one vast city or, as they call it, megalopolis. The author says that trends are toward the _.Agrowth of cities and shrinking of suburban areasBgrowth of both rural and suburban areasCgrowth o

47、f urban and suburban areasDgrowth of suburban areas and shrinking of cities 33.BTEXT E/B Every people has its own special words and expressions like the American expression on the wagon. It means a per son who no longer drinks whisky, beer or other kinds of alcoholic drinks. The wagon is a water wag

48、on. In other words, a drinker has decided to change from alcohol to water. An Oklahoma newspaper wrote about a man who had a history of heavy drinking on Americas Fourth of July holiday. Said the newspaper, We believed that his experience had lifted him onto the water wagon, but he was even drunker

49、the next Fourth of July. Why do people decide to go on the wagon Well, usually because they are alcoholics. They lose control of themselves when they done. If they take one alcoholic drink, then they want to drink another, and another, until all thought is gone. Alcoholism is a major social problem

50、in countries throughout the world. The United States is no exception. Experts believe that several million Americans are alcoholics today. Their health care needs, car accidents, reduced job performance and other problems cost thousands of millions of dollars every year. In the early 1900s, many Ame

51、ricans joined in a campaign to make alcohol illegal in the United States. In 1920 an a mendment was added to the Constitution. It made drinking or selling alcohol a crime. But the new law did not stop people from drinking. Criminals produced or imported alcohol illegally and sold it almost everywher

52、e. After a few years Americans realized the so-called Prohibition Law did not work. So in 1933 another constitutional change was made, canceling the amendment that made alcohol illegal. In recent years Americans have taken other steps to deal with the problem of alcohol. One important action had bee

53、n to increase the punishment for people who drive their automobiles after drinking alcohol. Many states now consider this to be a serious crime. Another important step has been to explain to children and students the dangers of alcohol. Many schools now offer special programmes to teach young people

54、 about the problem. Doctors have been working to develop new drugs and treatment programmes to help alcoholics. Finally, alcoholics themselves are dealing with the problem of alcoholism. Many of them have gone on the wagon and stopped drinking. They have joined the Alcoholics Anonymous group meeting

55、 regularly to discuss their problems and give each other support. Going on the wagon is not the only way to conquer alcoholism, but most alcoholic say it is the best way. They must give up alcohol completely so their own body and spirit can survive. People decide to go on the wagon because _.Athey e

56、njoy having one drink after anotherBthey like the kind of drinks they get on the wagonCthey are afraid of losing their self-control in drinking againDthey are alcoholics and can not control themselves well 34.BTEXT C/B Americans this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and mo

57、st effective drugs invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild and it is cheap. For millions of people suffering from arthritis, it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wond

58、er drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. H

59、ippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. B

60、y 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States. A small quantity of aspirin ( two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the bodys reactions. Specifically, aspirin seems to slow down the formation of the acids involved in pa

61、in and the complex chemical reactions that cause fever. The chemistry of these acids is not fully understood, but the slowing effect of aspirin is well known. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that. The information in paragraph 2 shows that _.Aaspirin can be dange
