问题    Because the different ways alcohol can affect your behavior even in very small amounts, the best and safest course is not to drink before you drive. In addition, research has shown that some people may not be able to control their drinking once they begin. If, however, you are of legal age ,want to drink ,and can control your drinking, here is something to consider.
   Alcohol is net digested. It passes through your stomach and small intestines ( the tubes in your body through which food passes when it has left your stomach) directly into the blood stream and is carried to all parts of your body. Reaching your brain in small amounts, it promotes relaxation.
   In large amounts, it dulls the area of your brain that controls judgment and self-control. Losing these qualities, you may feel stimulated, lively, a bit unsteady or foolish.
   Drinking may increase confidence, but not performance. Alcohol can seldom make you do anything better, but it may make you care less about your mistakes. After two or four drinks in a row, alcohol begins to weaken your reaction, coordination and balance. Your vision and ability to judge distance are affected, making it more difficult to react to dangers ahead or on either side.
   Emotions ’affect your drinking style, and drinking, in turn, affects your emotions. When you are at ease, you may stop after the relaxing effect of one or two drinks. If you are angry, tense or under pressure, you may want to keep drinking to relieve these emotional stresses.
   In heavier doses, alcohol can be a mood changing drug, producing sudden shifts in feeling all the way from delight to anger. Studies have proven conclusively that a combination of alcohol and anger is responsible for much of the widely careless driving that causes fatal highway crashes. Even though most alcohol involved crashes are single vehicle crashes, often other people are seriously injured or killed by drunk drivers. One of the best defenses against drunk drivers is the proper wearing of a seat belt, which is now required by law in New Jersey.
It can be inferred from the passage that in New Jersey ______.

选项 A、a new law will come into effect to control alcohol sales
B、the law requires the drivers wear seat belts while driving
C、people drive less carefully than those in other states
D、people don’t have to wear seat belts while driving

答案B

解析 由New Jersey定位到最后一段最后一句,防止酒后驾车的最好措施之一就是系好安全带,新泽西州的法律现在做出这种要求,在此基础上可以推导出,驾车要系安全带,因此选[B]法律要求驾车时系好安全带,同时排除[D]。[A]、[C]这两种推理缺乏根据,故排除。
