参考答案【正确答案：C】
利用题干关键词the parents和efforts on pot smoking定位在第三段，首句中concentration on和 题干中的focus on同义改写。后面的句子就回答了这个问题：Marijuana is the illegal drug most used by kids，这个句子与选项A的内容相同，但是要看清楚题目问的是这么做的意义，不是原因，因此形成了强烈的干扰。文章第三段moreover后面用社会学家的报道说明了大麻与可卡因和海洛因的关系，但是close-related和选项中的directly程度有差异。D在文章中没有提及。第四段第一句话提出了父母把精力都集中在大麻香烟上的真正目的是通过戒掉吸大麻而使孩子们停止使用其他毒品。C是最佳答案。

- 4 【英译汉】 In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery”— feeling important and worthwhile — and the sources of what we call a sense of“pleasure” — finding life enjoyable — are not always identical. Women often are told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is:“You chose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children—What’s all this about wanting a career?” Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two dimensions. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the“doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimension, and it is composed of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa.
