问题     What do you think of when you think about drugs? Heroin? Cocaine? Usually we think about these illegal, hard drugs, but what about those being used around us every day? They affect our lives more than we think and in more ways than one. Alcohol and tobacco are so common that we never remind ourselves that they are drugs, too; they are addictive, and harmful.
    When I mention, I am talking about smokeless tobacco as well as cigarettes. Many people feel chewing isn’t nearly as bad as smoking, but I think it is. Certain brands of chewing tobacco have as much nicotine in one can as a pack of cigarettes. You know what really upsets me?. People criticize those who smoke but can’t go through a day without a dip themselves. However, I’m not saying it is okay to smoke. Smoking not only hurts the smoker, but also the people around them because of second-hand smoke.
    Another subject that gets to me is all the athletes, both amateur and professional, who use these drugs. High-school students have training rules; when they break them by going to a party and drinking, or sitting around at home smoking a cigarette, they are not only hurting themselves but their team as well. What about those athletes who follow the rules and choose to give up that "good time" everyone tell them they are missing out on? Is it really fair to them?
    Then there is always the other side. Athletes are looked up to a great deal. They are role models. Whether you are a high-school basketball player in a small town or a professional football player, there are kids out there who look up to you. Your actions could have a major effect on their lives. Many athletes argue that they didn’t ask for it to be this way, but it is. It isn’t something you simply decide on.
    Really, what do these drugs have to offer? Let’s just think about it for a second: smoking causes lung cancer, teeth discoloration, and bad breath. Chewing tobacco causes mouth cancer and gum disease. Alcohol can cause cirrhosis (destruction of the liver). The nervous system is affected also. Blurred vision and slow reflexes can result while you are under the influence of alcohol. It scares me to think about the price we pay, and for what—a good time, fitting in? Why do we do this to .ourselves? We all have a choice about how drugs will affect our lives. It is your job to decide how they will affect yours.
Which of the following is correct according to paragraph 3 and 4 about some athletes taking drugs?
选项 A、They hurt their own health only.
B、It’s not fair for those who follow the rules.
C、They cause no effect on their team.
D、They are winning respect of the kids.
答案B
解析 在文章第三、四段中，作者批评了运动员吸烟、喝酒的行为，认为他们的行为不仅损害他们自己的身体(排除选项A)，而且有损整个队的形象(排除选项C)，另外他们这些作为也损害了他们在一些孩子心中的形象(排除选项D)，而且对一些遵守规章、行为本分的运动员来说，也不公平。因此，正确选项为B。
