sometimes it may seem like everyones doing them or wanting you to do them. but as with anything that seems too good to be true, there are downsidesto taking drugs.how drugs workdrugs are chemicals that change the way our bodies work. some are medicines that help people when doctors prescribe(开处方)them. many have no medical use or benefits.when taken, drugs find their way into the bloodstream. from there, theyre sent to the brain and other parts of the body. in the brain, drugs may strengthen or weaken the senses, change how alert or sleepy people feel, and sometimes decrease physical pain.because of the way drugs work on the brain, they affect the ability to make healthy choices and decisions. even drinking makes people morelikely to get involved in dangerous situations, like driving under the influence or havingunprotected sex.how drugs affect people depends on lots of things: the kind of drug taken how much is taken how often someone uses it how quickly it gets to the brain what other drugs, food, or substances are taken at the same time the persons body size, shape, and chemistryalthough substances can feel good at first, they can do a lot of harm to the body and brain. drinking alcohol,smokingorusing tobacco, taking illegal drugs, even sniffing glue all damage the human body.8. which of the following can replace “downsides”?a. benefits b. disadvantages c. effects d. changes9. which is wrong about drugs?a. drugs change how our body works.b. many drugs have no medical benefits.c. all drugs may help people decrease physical pain.d. drugs affect peoples ability to make healthy decisions.10. according to the passage, all the things about drugs except _ affect people.a. who prescribesthem b. the types of drugs takenc. the food to take with drugsd. the amount of drugs taken11. whats the main idea of the passage?a. finding drugs are not hard.b. the way drugs work.c. things that contribute to how drugs affect people.d. taking drugs are not always good to people.dtrees are of great use to man in three important ways: they offer him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.in many parts of the world, unfortunately, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. and also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. so the forests slowly disappear.this does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. the results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind(粘合，凝结) the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. when all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.12. the most important points of trees to man is _.a.they help him to stop drought and floodsb. they offer him coolplacesc. they give him wood and other thingsd. they help him to make money 13. which is not the reason for forests slow disappearance in many places?a. many trees have been cut down by man.b. new trees are not well looked after.c. less attention is paid to planting trees.d. global warming.14. land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because _.a. roots of trees break up the soil b. there are too many rainfallsc. strong winds bring a lot of sandd. no more trees keep the rain and protect the top-soil.15. which title best fits the passage?a. trees and man b. the function of tree woodc. how do people do with trees? d. the usage of tree
