TEXT FOR QUESTIONS 1, 2 and 3

Alcohol is the drug most commonly used and abused by adolescents. It is responsible
for the 3 major causes of death in this age group: motor vehicle accidents, unintentional
injuries, and homicide. In fact, postmortem studies show that in 45% to 50% of violent
deaths involving adolescents, alcohol had been consumed by both victims and perpetrators.
Yet, alcohol use and abuse is the most commonly missed teenage diagnosis. Although it is
illegal for minors to purchase alcohol in most parts of the United States, many adolescents
say that getting alcohol is "very easy or fairly easy."

Mobile phone users slow traffic down
By Brian Osborne
Sick of traffic congestion? Well, part of the blame needs to go to motorists who talk on mobile phones. At
least, that is the conclusion of a study conducted by the University of Utah. The study found that if you use
your mobile phone while driving, you are less likely to pass slower vehicles. If you think the study is not
talking about you, because you have a hands-free device, then you are wrong. According to previous
studies performed by psychology Professor Dave Strayer of the University of Utah, the ultimate
distraction for drivers is the conversation not just holding the mobile phone.
