Latin Americans and Asians often say that the British and Americans are cold and 8 . On the other hand, the British and 9 often see other cultures as too aggressive.

Many scientists believe that the weather is changing.The earth will perhaps be warmed by about 7℃ at the South Pole(极) and the North Pole. The ice will be melt(融化). The sea level(平面) will rise by about 7 meters. As a result, water will cover cities like London, Tokyo and New York. Some ports(港口) and towns along the coasts will disappear under water.Some other scientists think that the dust, smoke and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will block out(封闭) the ultraviolet rays(紫外线). Then the earth will become colder and great sheets of ice will cover Europe and North America.When chemicals in the air mix with rain, we have acid(酸) rain. Acid rain can bring us great harm. It destroys(破坏) forests and kills life in lakes and rivers.People are beginning to see how serious the problem is. They find it important to work with nature instead of against it. They are trying to save the earth in many different ways. But one of the most important things to do is to make people understand that saving the earth is saving ourselves.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

How much do you know about the drug problem before reading the essays? Please list the names of some drugs and speak out its effects on people?2. Why do you think people still take drugs in spite of the worldwide anti-drug campaigns? What are people’s motivations of abusing (taking) drugs? What kind of people is the largest group?3. What do you know about the situation in China? Do you think the drug problem is serious?1.2 what is drug?Thanks to medical and drug research, there are thousands of drugs that help people. But there are also lots of illegal, harmful drugs that people take to help them feel good or have a good time.There are many reasons for trying them or starting to use them regularly. People take drugs just for the pleasure they believe they can bring. Often it is because someone tried to convince them that drugs would make them feel good or that they’d have a better time if they took them.Opium (鸦片）is a narcotic(麻醉剂) formed from the latex (树汁) released by cutting the immature seed pods (种子荚) of poppies (罂粟). It is most frequently processed chemicallyto produce heroin for the illegal drug trade.Morphine（吗啡） is the principal active agent in opium(20%). It acts directly on the central nervous system to relieve pain. Morphine has a high potential for addiction; tolerance and both physical and psychological dependence develop rapidly.A white crystalline powder made from the dried leaves of the coca plant, cocaine（可卡因） is a stimulant that rocks the central nervous system, giving users a quick, intense feeling of power and energy.Marijuana（大麻毒品） is the most widely used illegal drug in the world because of its low price. It is often called a gateway drug because frequent use can lead to the use of stronger drugs.Amphetamines(苯丙胺，冰毒) are stimulants that accelerate functions in the brain and body. Swallowed or snorted, these drugs hit users with a fast high, making them feel powerful, alert and energized.Ketamine is a quick acting anesthetic that is legally used in both human and animals as sedative (镇静剂). Users may become delirious(极度亢奋), hallucinate(产生幻觉), and lose their sense of time and reality.Ecstasy(MDMA摇头丸) is a designer drug created by underground chemists and is a popular club drug among teens. It also raised the temperature of the body, which can sometimes cause organ damage or even death.1.3 How does drug work?Drugs are chemicals or substances that change the way our bodies work. When you put them into your body, drugs find their way into your bloodstream and are transported to parts of your body, such as your brain. In the brain, drugs may either intensify or dull your senses, alter your sense of alertness, and sometimes decrease physical pain.1.4 the harmful effects that drugs bringDependenceMental problemsRestlessnessMuscle/bone painInsomnia (失眠)Diarrhea (腹泻)VomitingCold sweats1.5 overview of the drug problemDrug abuse has been increasing at a rapid rate globally. It includes the use of illegal drugs—such as marijuana, methamphetamines , cocaine, heroin, or other "street drugs"—and the abuse of legal prescription and nonprescription drugs.In the United States and Canada, approximately 40% of adults will use an illegal drug at some time during their lives. Many people abuse more than one illegal substance at a time. Statistics also show that there are nearly 10 million drug takers in China. The practice occurs most among young people who are looking for new sensations. Many young people have tried drugs simply because they were told not to. They are likely to try what other people, especially their parents and teachers, call undesirable, just to be rebellious.Some young people begin to take drugs when they are in elementary school. Often their friends have persuaded them to do so. They are tempted by the excitement or escape that drugs seem to offer.Many teens believe drugs will help them think better, be more popular, stay more active, or become better athletes. Others are simply curious and figure one try won’t hurt. Others want to fit in. A few use drugs to gain attention from their parents.1.6 celebrity abuse drugsCelebrities have acquired an extremely high status within contemporary society, particularly in the eyes of young people. Celebrities have definite influence on young adults.NEW YORK: Record-breaking Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps issued an apology on Sunday after a British newspaper published a photograph showing him smoking marijuana."I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in the manner people have come to expect from me," he said. "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."1.7 drug storiesThe Opium Wars, also known as the Anglo-Chinese Wars, lasted from 1839 to 1842 and 1856 to 1860, the climax of a trade dispute between China under the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire. British smuggling of opium from British India into China in defiance of (公然蔑视) China's drug laws erupted into open warfare between Britain and China. China‘s defeat in both wars left its government having to tolerate the opium trade. Britain forced the Chinese government into signing the Treaty of Nanjing and the Treaty of Tianjin, also known as the Unequal Treaties, which included provisions for the opening of additional ports to foreign trade, for fixed tariffs; for the recognition of both countries as equal in correspondence; and for the annexation (吞并)of Hong Kong by Britain. The British also gained extraterritorial (国土范围之外的)rights.Several countries followed Britain and sought similar agreements with China. Many Chinese found these agreements humiliating (耻辱的)and these sentiments (情绪)are considered to have contributed to the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), and the downfall of Qing in 1912. The Opium Wars forcefully and suddenly opened China to the world.Part Two Background Information2.1 Authors1. Gore Vidalprolific American novelist, and essayist, political activist: Democratic- LiberalThe war on drugs has nothing at all to do with drugs. It is part of an all-out war on the American people by a government interested only in control.—Gore Vidal“Probably no American writer since Franklin has derided, ridiculed, and mocked Americans more skillfully and more often than Vidal.” (Gordon S. Wood, The New York Times, December 14, 2003)Gore Vidal was often pointedly controversial: he published comments ondemocracy, homosexuality, religion, and drug legalization.2.2 Clarence PageColumnist editorial board of the Chicago Tribune1972 Pulitzer Prize for a Chicago Tribune Task Force series on voter fraud 1989 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary2.3 Charles Krauthammera syndicated columnist: The Washington Post Writers Grouppolitical commentator, physician , conservative (neoconservative in foreign policy)2.4 Prohibition in the United States (the Noble Experiment)1840s, spearheaded by some religious denominations1881, Kansas as the first to outlaw alcoholic beverages1917, alcohol banned as mandated in the 18th Amendment to the Constitution 1919-1933, nation-wide movement, plagued by smuggling and bootlegging 1933, the 18th Amendment repealed by the 21st AmendmentPart Three Text Appreciation3.1 Text Analysis3.1.1 Structure of the text1. drugsI.
