文章大意:本文为一篇新闻报道。文章报道了青少年在电视上看到的酒精广告比其他产品更多,尽管有行业限制规则,但这些标准并不能保护青少年免受酒精广告和营销的影响。

6 . A new study shows that U.S. teens see more television commercials (广告) for alcohol than for jeans, sneakers, or other teen products, the New York Times reported Dec. 18.

For the study, the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at Georgetown University studied the 208,909 alcohol commercials on television. They found that nearly 25 percent of the ads were viewed mainly by teenagers, rather than adults.

Furthermore, 12-to-20-year-olds viewed more commercials for beer and other alcoholic drinks than products marketed directly to young people, such as gum, snacks, and juice. “No one is watching what the industry is doing, and the industry is in denial (拒绝承认),” said David A. Kessler, dean of the School of Medicine at Yale and an adviser to CAMY.

The alcohol industry uses voluntary rules to reduce the number of ads seen by those under age 21. The rules say that ads should not air during programs where at least half of the audience is underage (未成年的).

“We do not forgive illegal underage drinking under any circumstances,” said Jeff Becker, president of the Beer Institute. “This industry does not, and never has, targeted our advertising to people who can’t legally buy our products.”

However, the report found that alcohol ads ran during 13 of the 15 most popular shows for teenagers, including “Seventh Heaven,” “Gilmore Girls, ” “Dark Angel,” “That ‘70s Show,” “Friends,” “E.R.,” and sporting events.

Jim O’Hara, executive director of CAMY, said the industry rules are false. He added, “These standards do not protect youth from exposure and overexposure to alcohol advertising and marketing.”

1. What’s the result of the study conducted by CAMY?
A.Teenagers like alcohol than jeans and sneakers.
B.Alduts see more alcohol ads on TV than teenager.
C.Teenagers see ads for alcohol ads on TV more than adults.
D.The older teenagers are, the better they like ads for alcohol ads.
2. What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A.The alcohol industry is widely praised.
B.The alcohol industry is closely watched.
C.The underage will see less ads for alcoholic drinks in the near future.
D.Young people can easily buy such products as alcoholic drinks, snacks and juice.
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A.Dark Angel and Seventh Heaven are shows for adults.
B.The industry rules protect youth from alcohol advertising.
C.Not all the most popular shows for teenagers air alcohol ads.
D.Teenagers can drink alcohol with the permission of their parents.
4. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Alcohol commercials on TV.
B.Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth.
C.Illegal underage drinking is not permitted.
D.Teenagers see more TV ads for alcohol than other products.
