［2011·太原模拟］
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）
[1]Have you ever been offered an alcoholic drink? What about someone’s saying “Don’t worry, just have one little sip”? Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13. That first drink can be the start of a troubled life.
[2]Drink can make teens feel good, but that feeling lasts only a short time. Alcohol clouds your brain and hinders your ability to make decisions. Excessive drinking literally makes your brain shrink and can cause serious damage. Over-drinking can cause learning disabilities and damage your memory. It distorts your vision and leads to blackouts. Teenagers often think that drinking will give them more energy, but alcohol isn’t an energy drink—it’s a depressant(镇静剂).
[3]Drunk driving is one of the top causes of ________ or teen boys. An alcohol-related motor vehicle crash kills one person every 33 minutes and injures someone every two minutes. The rate of teen drunk driving is so high that the government is trying to pass new laws to restrict teen driving.
[4]When we get to high school, friends start pressurising us to drink. High school students see alcohol as glamorous(富有刺激的) and a way to become popular. I conducted a survey at my school. 24 of the 63 respondents predicted they would drink in high school. 11 said maybe, and 28 said they didn’t plan on drinking.
[5]Regardless of what they say now, things can change. Teens starting high school want to fit in. They think that one drink won’t do anything harmful. A little bit of alcohol probably won’t kill you, but it can lead to poor decisions. High school is the time to experiment with what you want to do in life, but if you’re experimenting with alcohol you could hurt someone, including yourself.
