Question 1-4:

 

Drinking and Driving

People driving vehicles under the influence of alcohol results in a car-crash death every 31 minutes. Related injuries occur every two minutes. The best way to ---139--- driving under the influence of alcohol is immediate loss of the driver’s license of anyone who is stopped while drunk driving.

---140---. High schools and colleges that have required students to attend drunk-driving prevention programs, have seen a decrease in alcohol related deaths. These programs show photographs of actual car crashes caused by drinking and driving. They also invite family members ---141--- speak about their teenagers who died because of drunk driving.

Many colleges (and some communities) also have free taxi services for intoxicated people. Everyone knows ---142--- driving should not be mixed with drinking. Car crash deaths and injuries are reduced when people are encouraged to take responsibility for their own, and each other’s lives.
