1 Owing to the widespread expansion of casinos, the cost of pathological and problem gambling has soared to nearly half the annual cost of drug abuse in the United States, a UI expert says in a new book.
2 The social costs of gambling, such as increased crime, lost work time, bankruptcies and financial hardships faced by the families of gambling addicts, have reached epidemic proportions, costing the economy as much as $54 billion annually, Earl L. Grinols, an Illinois economist, has written in "Gambling in America: Costs and Benefits," published this month by Cambridge University Press.
3 This compares with the estimated annual $110 billion cost of drug abuse, according to the U.S. General Accounting Office.
4 Casino gambling causes up to $289 in social costs for every $46 of economic benefit, according to Grinols: "In 2003 dollars, the cost to society of an additional pathological gambler is $10,330 based on studies performed in the mid-1990s, whereas the cost to society of an additional problem gambler is $2,945", he wrote. Accounting for the cost of raising tax dollars to cover some of these costs raises the totals to $11,304 and $3,222, respectively.
5 A former senior economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan, Grinols wrote the book because there is "a great unfulfilled need for an economist to study the costs and benefits of casinos in society and to identify which side of the ledger [is] predominant."
6 He pointed out that nearly all research on gambling consists of industry-sponsored studies ballyhooing new jobs and increased taxes.
7 His book includes economic analyses that put price tags on the inflows and outflows of gambling money.
8 On the positive side of the ledger, a casino may increase local employment and raise state and local tax revenues. In Las Vegas and Atlantic City, N.J. , where casinos primarily serve tourists, gambling creates regional jobs and an inflow of revenues.
9 However, in the Midwest and South, where casinos primarily attract a local clientele, gambling causes a net loss to the community. Not only do out-of-state casino operators remove gambling dollars from the local economy, but local employers and taxpayers must foot the bill of increased crime, personal bankruptcy, domestic violence, lost workdays, child abuse and other social costs from problem gamblers.
Which of the following is NOT true of Earl L. Grinols？
A．He is an American economist.
B．He works in a university.
C．He is a senior economic presidential adviser.
D．He has just published a new book.

The United Nations Conference on Drug Abuse that took place earlier this year in Vienna, was a very productive meeting. As never before, the nations of the world demonstrated a willingness to confront a common threat.
Most previous international gatherings on this subject have not seen the same intensity of delegate inter est. Many nations have gone through a shock of recognition. A decade ago, only those nations identified as "producing countries" also become "consuming countries", but many have witnessed the growth within their borders of drug trafficking gangs (often allied with terrorists) so powerful they present a danger to the state's stability. Many developing countries now have the worst of both worlds, in that they grow their own people. There is a growing sense of fright in ninny governments that matters are out of control and the single way to recover is through cooperation with other countries.
The high points of the conference were the drafting of two documents, both of which were adopted with out a disagreed vote. One was a joint declaration of intent to combat drag abuse and traffic. The other consisted of many detailed suggestions for particular regional and national policies.
Overall, the conference developed a two-level action plan. The focus was on ways to curb the demand for dangerous drugs and on methods of destroying at least interrupting the distribution process.
On the demand side, the delegates recommended the establishment of a system for collecting information on the nature and scope of narcotics use. In addition, they concluded that drug education should be taught in schools and that governments and labor organizations should act together in the anti-drug campaign in the work place. The delegates also recommended strict adherence to international agreements to curb the supply of narcotics.
The United Nations Conference was held to discuss ______.
A．ideological and individual differences
B．production
C．drug abuse
D．nations of file world
