There are chilling parallels in two catastrophes that threaten the fabric of American life—AIDS and drugs. AIDS destroys genetic immunity: drug addiction paralyzes the immune system of the body politic, preventing society from responding to evil by taking political action. The irony of the malign perversities at work is that the war on drugs is ensuring the spread of AIDS.We had better understand the way this is happening and decode which is the lesser of two evils or they will both engulf us.The war on drugs presently takes priority in the public mind. This is wholly understandable. No city in America, it seems, can afford enough police officers, enough firepower, enough judges and enough jails to stamp out the criminal behavior of thousands who distribute, buy and use cocaine or crack. Drug pushers are as visible as and more frequent than local newsstands. Some police forces have acknowledged that parts of their cities are no-go areas where the guns and bombs of the drug runners are the law.This is a phenomenon of the black ghetto. Drug use has declined among the white middle class and college students but crack at $3 and $4 a pop is ravaging the black population. Competing drug groups and teen gangs fight each other to the death, a convenient result one might think but for the reality that the drug war shatters thousands of decent black families and destroys the peace of mind of whole cities. This year’s focus is on Washington D.C., where the murder rate now exceeds that of the West Bank and Gaza. Washington’s mayor says: Except for the killings, Washington is a safe city. One knows what he means. Outside the ghettos, Washington is wonderfully attractive in dynamics. But economic vitality does not console middle-class and working-class whites, who rage against the fear that dominates their cities, fear, of drugs sold by blacks: fear of black crime and of black gangs. They blame local political leaders and cry out for action. And here is the rub. Since federal programs, including supply interdiction and Draconian penalties, have had virtually no effect on the epidemic, any escalation seems justified.1. The first sentence in the first paragraph means there are between AIDS and drugs.2. According to the first paragraph, in what sense do AIDS or drugs corrupt American life?3. The cause-and-effect relation between AIDS and drugs probably is that .4. The phrase “no-go areas” refers to .5. The writer implies that crack is most popular among .

The Eskimo people believe in the magic protective power of amulets. However, it isn’t the amulet itself that protects from harm—it is the properties that the amulet possesses. It is almost always the boys and the men who are given amulets, for they are the ones who expose themselves to all the dangers of nature while the women stay at home. When a girl is given amulets, it is usually to insure that she have strong sons. Great care goes into the selection of amulets. My wife Navarana carried a little ball of polished wood with her always. Wood cannot feel pain, and possession of it means great wealth; thus it is thought that a wooden amulet can insure the owner’s rich and painless life.One of the most popular amulets is the foot of a raven, which is put on a string around the necks of newborn babies. This is believed to be a very valuable charm because no bird can get along under as hard conditions as does the raven. The raven finds food where other animals starve to death—it can live on almost nothing.At the end of my first hunt at Thule, Ayorsalik, one of the hunters decided that raven meat was to be eaten in my honor. The purpose of the raven feast, he said, was to make sure that the good luck I had had that morning would continue indefinitely.Two of the younger men shot three ravens that had been hovering expectantly near our campfire. Ayorsalik put the pot on to boil, and the ravens were skinned and cooked. Their taste was terrible, and later I ate that bird only in times of great hunger. On this occasion, Ayorsalik handed me all three hearts and livers with his dirty fingers; they went down, but they almost came up again. I don’t know whether this custom had any effect. But later on, whenever I had a good hunt, Ayorsalik claimed I would lose the ravens’ power if I were not to share with him.Another interesting custom of the Eskimos is their ceremony of deep respect for ancestors. On the rock of Agpat, near Thule, where the burial ground was, both men and women would sit for hour after hour in quiet meditation. Dressed in their finest clothing, they would stare out over the horizon without moving. They believed that during this stillness they received the wisdom of their ancestors. It is the nearest thing to religious devotion I have seen among them, and it is, I think, the most beautiful form of worship I have ever seen.1. Why do the Eskimo people believe in amulets?2. What is peculiar about the raven’s foot?3. They decided to eat the raven meat because ________.4. Which of the following is true?5. What do we know about the Eskimos?

Placing a human being behind the wheel of an automobile often has the same curious effect as cutting certain fibers in the brain.The result in either case is more primitive behavior. Hostile feelings are apt to be expressed in an aggressive way.The same man who will step aside for a stranger at a doorway will, when behind the wheel, risk an accident trying to beat another motorist through an intersection. The importance of emotional factors in automobile accidents is gaining recognition. Doctors and other scientists have concluded that the highway death toll resembles a disease epidemic and should be investigated as such.Dr. Ross A McFarland, associate professor of Industrial Hygiene at the Harvard University School of Public Health, said that accidents “now constitute a greater threat to the safety of large segments of the population that diseases do”.Accidents are the leading cause of death between the ages of 1 and 35. About one third of all accidental deaths and one seventh of all accidental injuries are caused by motor vehicles.Based on the present rate of vehicle registration, unless the accident rate is cut in half, one of every 10 persons in the country will be killed or injured in a traffic accident in the next 15 years.Research to find the underlying causes of accidents and to develop ways to detect drivers who are apt to cause them is being conducted at universities and medical centers. Here are some of their findings so far.A man drives as he lives. If he is often in trouble with collection agencies, the courts, and police, chances are he will have repeated automobile accidents. Accident repeaters usually are egocentric, exhibitionistic, resentful of authority, impulsive, and lacking in social responsibility. As a group, they can be classified as borderline psychopathic personalities, according to Dr. McFarland.The suspicion, however, that accident repeaters could be detected in advance by screening out persons with more hostile impulses is false. A study at the University of Colorado showed that there were just as many overly hostile persons among those who had no accidents as among those with repeated accidents.Psychologists currently are studying Denver high school pupils to test the validity of this concept. They are making psychological evaluations of the pupils to see whether subsequent driving records will bear out their thesis.1. The author believes that, behind the wheel of an automobile, some people act .2. The author believes that the normally courteous individual will take chances when driving because .3. Doctors and other scientists have concluded that .4. Dr. McFarland emphasizes the great menace of accidents by comparing it to .5. According to the article, accidents are the leading cause of fatalities among people .

The invention of the incandescent light bulb by Thomas Edison in 1879 created a demand for a cheap, readily available fuel with which to generate large amounts of electric power. Coal seemed to fit the bill, and it fueled the earliest power stations (which were set up at the end of the nineteenth century by Edison himself). As more power plants were constructed throughout the country, the reliance on coal increased. Since the First World War, coal-fired power plants have accounted for about half of the electricity produced in the United States each year. In 1986 such plants had a combined capacity of 289,000 megawatts and consumed 83 percent of the nearly 900 million tons of coal mined in the country that year. Given the uncertainty in the future growth of nuclear power and in the supply of oil and natural gas, coal-fired power plants could well provide up to 70 percent of the electric power in the United States by the end of the century.Yet, in spite of the fact that coal has long been a source of electricity and may remain one for many years (coal represents about 80 percent of the United States fossil-fuel reserves), it has actually never been the most desirable fossil fuel for power plants. Coal contains less energy per unit of weight than natural gas or oil; it is difficult to transport, and it is associated with a host of environmental issues, among them acid rain. Since the late 1960s problems of emission control and waste disposal have sharply reduced the appeal of coal-fired power plants. The cost of ameliorating these environmental problems, along with the rising cost of building a facility as large and complex as a coal-fired power plant, has also made such plants less attractive from a purely economic perspective.Changes in the technological base of coal-fired power plants could restore their attractiveness, however. Whereas some of these changes are evolutionary and are intended mainly to increase the productivity of existing plants, completely new technologies for burning coal cleanly are also being developed.1. What is the main idea of the passage?2. Edison’s electric light bulb is mentioned in the passage because it .3. It can be inferred from the passage that coal became the principal source of electricity in the United States because it .4. In the author’s opinion, the importance of coal-generated electricity could increase in the future for which of the following reasons?5. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the goals of the new technology in coal-fired plants?
