When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold. But when the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl was still sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted world-wide attention.

Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from "put a clothes pin on her nose" to "have her stand on her head" poured in. But nothing did any good. Finally, she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr Leo Kanner, one of the world's top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling problem with great speed.

He used neither drugs nor surgery for, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, be said, a view which Aristotle, some 3 000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.

Dr Kanner simply gave a modern psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too much sneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the girl accordingly.

"Less than two days in a hospital room, a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment, and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to an ex-sneezer," he reported.

Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr Kanner has collected thousands of superstitions concerning it. The most universal one is the custom of begging for the blessing of God when a person sneezes -- a practice Dr Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that a sneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people all over the world still continue the custom with the traditional "God bless you" or its equivalent.

When scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any conscious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done. When you need to sneeze you sneeze, this being nature's clever way of getting rid of an annoying object from the nose. The object may be just some dust in the nose which nature is striving to remove.

The girl sneezed continuously because she ______.

A．was badly ill

B．was mentally superstitious

C．was afraid of falling ill

D．had attracted world-wide attention

Every Thursday evening, I counsel a group of teenagers with serious substance abuse problems. None of the youngsters elected to see me. Typically, they were caught using drugs, or worse, by their parents or a police officer and were then referred to my clinic. To be sure, all the usual intoxicants--alcohol, marijuana and cocaine-are involved. But a new type of addiction has crept into the mix, controlled prescription drugs, including painkillers. This is hardly unique to my clinic. Several studies report that since 1992, the number of 12-to 17-year-olds abusing controlled prescription drugs has tripled.

One of my patients, Mary, illustrates this trend all too well. Mary at 16 is a "garbage head", meaning that she will ingest anything she thinks will give her a high. Last December, she was taken to the hospital for an overdose of alcohol, and ketamine, a chemical cousin of angel dust that doctors sometimes use to anesthetize patients and that, more commonly, veterinarians use to sedate large animals. So where does this physically energetic teenager obtain her pills? Weeks earlier, she had an operation, a minor though uncomfortable procedure by any standards. The surgeon wrote a prescription for 80 tablets. Mary spent the next week in the addiction of the drug until her mother confiscated the last 20 tablets.

At medical conferences, I hear colleagues fault parents who abuse and obtain these controlled substances but leave them easily accessible in their unlocked medicine chests where teenagers can help themselves. Other experts fault the Internet, where al-most anyone can obtain controlled prescription drugs from offshore pharmacies with a few clicks on a home computer. None of these targets come close to the real root of the problem. Many doctors are too quick to write prescriptions for these powerful drugs.

The National Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse recently reported that 43.3 percent of all American doctors did not even ask patients about prescription drug abuse when taking histories; 33 percent did not regularly call or obtain records from a patient's previous doctor or from other physicians before writing such prescriptions; 47.1 percent said their patients pressured them into prescribing these drugs; and only 39.1 percent had had any training in recognizing prescription drug abuse and addiction. No one in pain--physical or psychic--should suffer. But the fact remains that we doctors still do the bulk of prescribing of the substances. The search for root causes of the epidemic with controlled substance abuse has to include doctors as active participants. A big part of the solution depends on reserving prescriptions for those who need, rather than de-sire, them.

What is RIGHT according to Paragraph ?

A．Teenagers volunteered to see me for curing drug abusing.

B．The new type of addiction is unique to the author's clinic.

C．The author is probably a doctor who works for the police.

D．The usual intoxicants abuse is getting down since 1992.
