问题     Drunken driving — sometimes called American’s socially accepted form of murder — has become a national 【C1】______  Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken  drivers, adding 【C2】______  to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.
    A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol 【C3】______  or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or 【C4】______  of whisky drank within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be a (n) 【C5】______  part of the American macho image and judges were, lenient in most courts, but the drunken 【C6】______  has recently caused so many tragedies, especially involving children, 【C7】______  public opinion is no longer tolerant.
     Twenty states have raised the 【C8】______  drinking age to 21, rather than 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-to-20-year old drivers more than 【C9】______  , so the state recently upped it back to 21.
     Reformers, however, fear 【C10】______  the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational 【C11】______  to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" and teach them to resist 【C12】______  pressure to drink.
     Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in some areas, to a marked 【C13】______   in fatalities. Some are also penalizing bars for 【C14】______  customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was 【C15】______  for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was " 【C16】______  intoxicated" and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
    【C17】______  the fatalities continue to occur daily, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national 【C18】______  of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the "noble 【C19】______  ". They forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged corruption and crime.  As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy 【C20】______  . [br] 【C11】
