The government should provide rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them. Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.  

8.  Most drug users get drugs from....

a.    Jails

b.    Peddlers

c.    Traffickers

d.    Wholesalers

e.    Rehabilitation center 

9.  Sending the drug users to prison is not a good solution because ....

a.    They can't consume harmful drugs

b.    They are treated normally

c.    They may still be infected with harmful drugs

d.    They can be freed as soon as possible

e.    They are given the whole recovery program

10.  "...drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them." (Paragraph 3) The underlined word is closest in meaning to ....

a.    Influenced

b.    Treated  

c.    Forced

d.    Burdened

e.    Implemented

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking whether some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that  don’t need to build.

There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

13.   What does the writer suggest?

e.    Limit the number of gasoline

14.  What is the purpose of the article?

a.    Defining the functions of public transportation

b.    Arguing that Americans should not use public transportation

c.    Suggesting American the ways to use public transportation

d.    Asking for more public transportation

e.    Suggesting that Americans should be forced to use public transportation

16.  What is the function of the first paragraph?

Berries

Blueberries, cranberries, and huckleberries and related plants have been found to contain resveratrol, a potential anti-cancer agent, according to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists who made the discovery. This new finding from ARS adds to previous research by other scientists who found that dark-skinned bunch grapes contain resveratrol.

Using chemical identification procedures, the team of scientists measured the resveratrol content of 30 whole fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and related plants. The samples represented five families and 10 species of Vaccinium fruit. They also measured resveratrol in the skin, juice/ pulp, and seed samples of muscadine grape. Because of its important biological properties, resveratrol has been examined extensively in grapes. Studies showed the compound protects the grapes from fungal diseases. It also provides health benefits for consumers by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The compound’s anticancer potential warranted is the examination in other fruits.

The team’s studies showed that several fruit samples of Vaccinium contain varying amounts of the compound. Analysis of the extracts of the skin, juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine grapes showed that concentration of resveratrol more Vaccinium and muscadine sample is continuing. The new data could help build a foundation for increasing resveratrol in those berry and grapes crops that are important to many small farmers. Future research goals will include enhancing the production of resveratrol in selected species.

21.  From the text, we know that resveratrol .…

a.    Is anticancer agent and benefit for reducing heart disease

b.    Examines grapes and measures of fruits as sample disease

c.    Shows the protection for increasing health in selected fruits

22.  Resveratrol has been tested in grapes because of ….

a.    Its advantages by extracting health substances

b.    Its disadvantages as anticancer substances

c.    Its important biological substances

d.    Its risk at cardiovascular diseases

e.    Its relationship to the fruit

23.   Paragraph 3 talks about .…

a.    Fruit skin is highly concentrated for resveratrol

b.    Grapes are fruits for biological experiments

c.    The beneficial of resveratrol reduces the risk of heart attack

d.    Resveratrol is represented by species of vaccinium fruit
