 A caring mother is the single most important factor in preventing teenagers from abusing(滥用)drugs and alcohol,researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems,and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.

  “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use.”said Dr.McArdle,of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study. “They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念),particularly to mothers,is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.” The report, which is published in the journal Addiction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England,Ireland,Italy,Germany and the Netherlands. They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol. The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were supervised(监护)after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home.

  “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement. But he added that a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits. The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent. If either factor was missing, the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent.More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs.

  Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility

One of the big challenges that students face in applying to universities abroad is writing the application essay.

  The essay topics all have something in common. They attempt to get at what type of person you are, what motivates you,and what you feel passion for. In a single 500-word piece of writing,

admissions officers(招生负责人)attempt to gather all about you. So your task is of your personality on the essay and make yourself special. 

You can try and guess what the admissions officers like. But that won’t work.The essay will sound empty and become another dull piece of writing,which admissions officers get thousands of each year.

  It is true that admissions officers aren’t exactly looking for anything. The answer is just as open-ended as the question itself. If they ask for someone who has inspired you, it could be anyone. It could be a grandmother, a teacher, or even a character from a movie. A lot of people will say their dad. But since you really feel it, you’ll have a lot to write about.

  There are some important things to remember.These admissions officers want good writers. You don't have to be Ernest Hemingway, but you have to be able to form an interesting story.That means revision(校对)and editing,cutting out stupid grammar mistakes,reading it over several times,leaving it for a few days and looking at it again. Whatever you do, make sure the essay is as good as possible.

  Also,you should use exciting language and really make the reader feel the same passion as you do. It also means finding something unique about your point of view, something that other people might not think of.For example,if you want to write about your dad, you can focus on a specific anecdote(趣闻)about him .Admissions officers love personal stories that ring true.

1.The purpose of the passage is to give advice on how to_________.

A. choose an essay topic                                     B. read the officers’ minds

C. be a good writer                                           D write an effective application

2.The underlined part of paragraph 2 suggests that you__________.

A. stick enough stamps before posting your application essay

B. write something unique in an essay to impress the readers   

C. take the task of showing off yourself seriously  

D. pay attention to your personal essay

3. When admissions officers ask who has inspired you,they mean to________.

A. know about your family members               B. understand you better

C. find out what your father does                             D. discover your personal affairs

4. According to the writer, it is wise to produce an essay with__________.

A.500 beautiful words   B. many funny things   C. truthful specific stories   D. indirect answers
