Text 2 Mothers Against Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimed at Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocates dropping the Criminal Code’s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent，to“protect innocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limit could result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．But questions have been raised about the science behind that campaign． MADD selectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the Mental Health Centre．Mama，in turn，had got those numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden and Australia．The conclusions in Mann’s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors’numerous warnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，the Australian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not lowered BAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．that research was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far more common．What’s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state of Queensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD’s Murie，in neighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent． It is also reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers in alcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0．15 percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel with BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkers who consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD’s concern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths． The Canada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD’s campaign．Even the Ontario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean more work for police and the courts． But to MADD’s Murie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAC limits，regardless to what level，you’ll save Canadian lives．”Unfortunately，the math doesn’t quite add up．回答下列各题： MADD launched a public awareness campaign in order to_______．

A.criticize the Justice Minister

B.improve BAC measurement

C.restrict drivers’access to alcohol

D.revise the law regarding drunk driving

Brisk, cheerful and passionate about educating children, Nancy Ichinaga thinks social prom

otion is "junk" . As principal of an elementary school for the past 23 years, Ichinaga has never passed kids on to the next grade just to protect their self-esteem. The school is 51 percent African-American, 48 percent Latino and 75 percent below the poverty line. But last year, 88 percent of its students read at or about grade level, and Ichinaga thinks her willingness to hold kids back has much to do with that success. "We don't promote so students can fail, " she says. "We make sure that they succeed. Our students' self-esteem is good because they are successful academically, not because we' ve tried to pump them up."

Social promotion has been widespread in US schools for at least 20 years. Its rationale is to avoid damaging the pupil's sense of self-worth and to assume that if promoted, the child can catch up. But school officials and politicians are increasingly ready to accept what traditionalists like Ichinaga have been saying all along—that school promotion, though well intended, has been an academic disaster. Bill Clinton is on record against it, as is the American Federation of Teachers. In New York city, school chancellor Rudy Crew recently unveiled a plan to phase it out. He told a reporter, "This is not about being punitive with kids. It is about caring so much about children that you will not let them fail. "

To live up that rhetoric, Crew and other reformers urgently need to show that kids who fail will get the academic support they need. The model could be the Chicago public school system, which abolished social promotion in 1996. Kids who fail are sent to summer school, where they get a second chance to pass. Most succeed and those who don't are assigned to smaller classes and evaluated for learning disabilities and other special needs.

The scary part is just how widespread social promotion has become. In New York, Crew estimated that more than a third of all fourth and seventh-graders would have to repeat a year if the policy were ended immediately. "Though Crew didn't say so, there is no reason to think the percentage is different for other grades which is why the practice arguably conceals massive failure. And nobody gains from that.

The word "social promotion" in this text means

A．the help given by society to those kids who lag behind

B．the practice of passing on students who fail to a higher grade

C．the practice of rewarding top students

D．the effort to promote equality of all students, regardless of their race or color
