Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist (抵抗) pressure to drink.

　　Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities (灾祸). Some states are also penalizing (处罚) bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intosxicated (喝醉的)” and later drove off the road, killing a nine­year­old boy.

　　As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition (禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption (腐败) and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.

　　5．Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because ________.

　　A．most Americans are heavy drinkers

　　B．Americans are now less shocked by road accidents

　　C．accidents attract too much publicity

　　D．drinking is a socially accepted habit in America
