The legal drinking age varies from place to place, but it is generally between 18 and 21 years old. Some places permit the drinking of beer at age 18, but strong alcohol only at age 21. Other places permit drinking only at 21 or older. Young people therefore often drive from one place to another with less strict drinking laws.Generally speaking, in the US, people aged between 18 and 21 are allowed to drive, vote, marry, raise children, keep full-time jobs, join the army and even buy guns, but NOT to have a glass of beer. In many places, people aged between 18 and 21 are allowed to go into bars but not allowed to drink. Another even more interesting aspect of American drinking-age laws is that in some places people below the legal drinking age are not even allowed to sell alcohol.In most places these drinking laws are fairly strictly observed. You may, for example, find people lining up to get into a bar and discover that the queue is caused by a guard on the door and he is asking everybody to show his ID card. If you ask the guard why he wants to look at people’s ID card, he will inform you that he actually wants to see if you reach the drinking age. In such situations Americans often show their driving licenses, which have their dates of birth written on them.1.What’s the minimum age when people can drink whatever they want in any place?A) 21.

Basically, there are three types of fatigue: physical, pathological (由疾病引起的), and psychological. As you might suspect, each differs significantly from the others. When you exercise your body you produce waste products. Muscles, for example, discard lactic acid (乳酸) into the blood; cells dump in carbon dioxide. When these wastes reach a certain level in the blood, the brain is notified and your activity level drops. Excess wastes in the muscles may produce soreness. If the blood of a physically fatigued animal is injected into a rested animal, it will produce fatigue. The solution to this type of fatigue is simple ― rest. That should revive you; if it doesn’t, another cause should be sought. Have you ever become involved in so many activities that you had to be in two places at once This is what happens when your body has a disease. The cells are overtaxed and cannot keep up with both fighting the disease and keeping you active. The result is fatigue. Some communicable diseases like the flu and colds are notorious for draining your energy. Other non-communicable diseases, like anemia (贫血), drain you because you are lacking an important body ingredient. Being overweight can cause pathological fatigue. It should be obvious that this type of fatigue is not going to go away without treatment. In a way, pathological fatigue is a lifesaver. It lets you know something is wrong and that you need rest. Even a poor diet can produce pathological fatigue. Frequently, people who go on crash diets develop pathological fatigue, and if the diet is not improved, they may do physical harm to their bodies. Here is the most common type of fatigue. Almost everybody experiences it now and then. Often, the cause is an emotional war you are waging with yourself or those around you. Some of these familiar factors can bring on psychological fatigue: worries, stress, lack of exercise, boredom, depression. If you know someone with psychological fatigue, would you advise him to rest No way! That might be fine for our other types of fatigue, but for this one, it’s deadly. If you are ever going to be able to cope with stress, depression, or worry, you need oxygen in your cells and a more optimistic attitude. Get out of the chair and do something! Believe it or not, many people throw themselves into physical labor like cleaning or carpentry to "defatigue" themselves. If you find yourself in a particularly stressful situation that you can’t physically escape, escape mentally. When fatigue continues, maybe you need to get to the root of the problem.Physical fatigue is usually caused by ______. A. transmittable diseases B. too many stimulantsC. lack of physical exercise D. excess wastes in the bloodstream
