　　Italians like to say that when it comes to alcohol, they have a sipping(小酌)culture rather than a drinking culture．That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they don’t usually get very drunk．

　　That’s not true any more．The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percent of Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends．Now, the city of Milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol．

　　Anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to ＄700．

　　Young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective(观点)．The US has the highest drinking age in the world：It’s illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses．

　　Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair：They are allowed to vote in elections and join the army at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?

　　These young people have found help in an unusual place．Last year, more than 100 presidents of US universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age．They argued that the law doesn’t stop underage college kids from getting drunk－it just makes them want to drink more．

　　For now, the law seems unlikely to change．But US teenagers who want alcohol can go north to Canada, where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18．Throughout much of Asia, Africa and Europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18．

　　In plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it．

　　No matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol．Teenagers in Milan are now learning that their reckless(不顾后果的)drinking behavior may come at a high price．

　　By Ariel Lown Lewiton, 21st Teens Staff

　　A Band plays in Lumley Park every Sunday afternoon．I often attend these open-air concerts if the weather is fine, because I find ita restful ways of passing time, and because the band plays many kinds of music：dance music, marching music, anything with a tune that you can whistle; you know what I mean．

　　One Sunday, there was a blind girl in the front row of the audience, just behind the band-leader．She was about fourteen or fifteen years of age, I should think．She had been sitting down until about halfway through the programme, when the band started to play The Blue Danube(蓝色多瑙河)by Strauss．I’d never heard them play this particular piece before; and there was something magical about the way they played it then．They had only played a few bars when this blind girl stood up and began waving her arms about in time to the music, just as the band-leader himself was doing．

　　After a while, I could see that more and more members of the band were watching the blind girl instead of the band-leader．And the leader must have noticed this himself, because he turned round and watched her, and saw that she was keeping perfect time．He was a very thoughtful man, that band-leader; I took my hat off to him．He moved to one side little by little so that the band could see the blind girl better, and after a while he stopped conducting altogether．The band knew the piece quite well, of course, so things weren’t likely to go seriously wrong．But she dept time beautifully, and she made it clear when she wanted certain passages to be loud or soft, just as the band-leader himself had done．Since then, to be quite honest, I’ve never heard The Blue Danube played better anywhere．

　　I have seldom heard an audience clap more loudly than that audience, when the music was over．I should think they must have heard the noise on the other side of the town．When the blind girl sat down, even from where I was sitting I could see that there were tears running down her face．

(1)

The speaker thought that attending the Sunday afternoon concerts was a pleasure because ________．
[　　]
A．	a band plays music in Lumley Park．
B．	he could pass the time in a peaceful way in fine weather
C．	his favorite music could be played by the band in the open air．
D．	all of the above

(2)

When the band was playing The Blue Danube, a blind girl who was sitting in the front row behind the band-leader ________．
[　　]
A．	stood up to play with the band
B．	stood up and waved her arms keeping perfect time by herself
C．	played just as the band-leader was doing
D．	listened to the particular piece The Blue Danube

(3)

While the blind girl was waving her hands to keep time, ________．
[　　]
A．	many more members of the band were still watching their band leader．
B．	the band leader stopped conducting after a while and took off his hat to the girl．
C．	the band kept playing wonderfully even without their band-leader
D．	the audience preferred the blind girl to the band-leader．

(4)

From what the speaker said, it can be inferred(推断)that ________．
[　　]
A．	he not only respected the band-leader but also thought highly of the blind girl．
B．	he thought the blind girl was doing better than the band-leader．
C．	he regarded the band as the first class band even without anyone conducting
D．	with the blind girl conducting, the concert was much more wonderful
