问题      It is common knowledge that drug abuse leads to harmful consequences. Why then do people—particularly youngsters continue to use drugs?
     Psychologists claim that there are three basic motivations that influence people to take drugs: curiosity, stress and environmental factors. Sometimes, youngsters take drugs simply because they are curious. Taking drugs seems to be the "in thing" for their generation, so they want to know what drugs are like. The trouble is that they do not know that taking soft and seemingly unharmful drugs can develop into cravings for stronger stuff later on. In some cases, youngsters are depressed or frustrated because of problems related to parents, school or the opposite sex. They take drugs to escape from the stress brought on by all these problems. In other cases, the environment is conductive to taking drugs. If, for instance, a youngster belongs to a community, school, or peer group where other youngsters take drugs, he may soon be tempted to follow suit, for fear of rejection or non-acceptance of his fellows.
    There is a growing consensus nowadays among social workers and psychologists that the best possible approach to the problem of drug addiction among the young is for school authorities, social workers and the Police Narcotics Division to work together to provide young people with much-needed education on the effects and dangers of drug abuse. Moreover, parents can do a great job in leading children away from drugs. They should spend more time with their children, listening and talking to them. Most importantly, parents should show them attention, concern and love. Parents who always scream at their children and nag them about their failings and weaknesses are regarded as unwitting drug pushers. As far as young people are concerned, a warm and happy family, wherein members share both joys and sorrows and where children get maximum encouragement and support, is the best bulwark against the onslaughts of drugs. It is no exaggeration to say that a happy home is a drug free home.
Social workers and psychologists hold a common belief that ______.
选项 A、the Police Narcotics Division should take sole responsibility for the problem of drug addiction among the young
B、parents ought to be educated about the effects and danger of drug abuse
C、young people tend to be addicted to drugs
D、the concerned authorities should join efforts to educate youngsters about the evil consequences of drug addiction
答案D
解析 事实细节题。文中第三段第一句就提到了社会工作者和心理学家们普遍认为解决年轻人吸毒成瘾的最好办法是校方、社会工作者和警方戒毒所一起做工作为年轻人提供所需的教育以抵制吸毒带来的影响和危险。因此最适合的答案应为D 项。 A 项过于强调戒毒所的单独作用；B 项过于强调了父母的作用；C 项更加与原文相反。
