| 标题 | 狂喝滥饮Deadly drinking |
| 内容 | Bart:: There's a new resurgence in binge drinking (聚众饮酒作乐)among American college students. Lisa: Yes, I've head about it. So what?. Bart: Unfortunately, college women are gaining ground on (追上，接近，逼近...) men for the title of campus drunk.(校园酒鬼的称号) Lisa: Really? Drinking among college students has been going on for decades. Why are women drinking more now? Bart: I don't know, but the percentage of college women drinking to get drunk has more than tripled over the past 15 years, says a new report from Columbia University. Lisa: I guess that's really not that surprising. Women are beginning to assert themselves more in every aspect of society. Bart: I know a lot of people are shrugging this off (对某事听之任知，不予重视)as just a teenage rite of passage, but it's more serious than that. I read in USA TODAY that alcohol is involved in 90% of all rapes, 80% of all vandalism (蓄意破坏公物或他人私有财产的行经)cases, 40% of all academic problems and 28% of all dropout (辍学)problems. Lisa: I have to admit, that is shocking! I never realized that booze (酒，痛饮)was so connected with crime. Bart: What's even worse is that as many as 360,000 of today's undergraduates ultimately will die from alcohol-related causes - more than will get advanced degrees. Lisa: That's downright (彻底地，十分地))depressing. I'll bet that fraternities (大学男生联谊会)and sororities (大学女生联谊会)have a lot to do with that. Bart: You're right. Students in frats (fraternities 的缩写)report drinking three times as much as the average student. Also studies show that 25% of freshmen admit to binge drinking in comparison to 20% of seniors. Lisa: Aren't there any campuses that are trying to do anything about this problem? Bart: Yes, as a matter of fact, the University of Maryland found that 30% of its students actually preferred alcohol-free social events. Officials offered cash awards fro groups sponsoring the best alcohol-free party. hey, would you like something to drink. Lisa: Yeah, just as long as it's doesn't have any alcohol, sugar or caffeine in it! |
