In 1988, Canadian athlete Ben Johnson set a new world record for the 100 metres sprint and set the Seoul Olympics alight. Just a few days later, he was stripped of his medal and banned from competing after having failed a drug test, highlighting what has since become an international problem - drug use in sport.
Those involved in sports face enormous pressure to excel in competition, all the more so as their careers are relatively short. By the time most sportspeople are in their forties, they are already considered to be past their prime, and as a result they need to earn their money as quickly as possible. In such a high-pressure environment, success has to come quickly and increasingly often drugs are playing a prominent role.
There are a number of specific effects that sportspeople are aiming to achieve by taking performance- enhancing drugs. Caffeine and cocaine are commonly used as stimulants, getting the body ready for the mass expenditure of energy required. In addition, there are those who are looking to build their body strength and turn to the use of anabolic steroids. Having worked so hard and needing to unwind, sportspeople may misuse other drugs as a relaxant in that it can help them cope with stress or boost their own confidence. Alcohol is commonly used for this purpose, but for sportspeople something more direct is often required, and this has led to an increase in the use of beta-blockers specifically to steady nerves.

Trả lời:
Đáp án B
Key word: drug abuse, fewer, detrimental, dietary substances.
Clue:
1. Careers can be prematurely ended by false allegations of drug abuse, yet by not punishing those who test positive, the door would be open for anyone who wanted to take drugs: Sự nghiệp có thế bị kết thúc sớm bởi những lý lẽ sai về việc lạm dụng thuốc, tuy nhiên nếu những người có kết quả dương tính không bị trừng trị, cánh cửa sẽ rộng mở đối với những ai muốn sử dụng thuốc.
2. There are some that argue that if the substance is not directly dangerous to the user, then it should not be banned: Có một vài người tranh luận rằng nếu như những chất này không trực tiếp gây hại cho người dùng, chúng không nên bị cấm.
3. A test recently carried out saw three non-athletes given dietary substances that were not on the banned list, and the two who didn’t take exercise tested negative: Một thí nghiệm được tiến hành gần đây đã quan sát ba người không phải vận động viên được cho sử dụng chất ăn kiêng không nằm trong danh sách chất bị cấm, và hai người không tập thể dục nhận kết quả âm tính.
Phân tích đáp án:
A. Making wrong judgments on drug abuse can destroy ones career: quyết định sai về việc lạm dụng thuốc có thể hủy hoại sự nghiệp của một người - Sai vì nội dung câu này giống với clue 1.
B. By tolerating violating cases, there will be fewer people taking on drugs: bằng cách tha thứ cho các trường hợp vi phạm, số lượng người dùng thuốc sẽ ít hơn. - Đúng vì nội dung câu này sai. Trong clue 1, nếu không trừng trị thích đáng thì tương lai sẽ có nhiều người tiếp tục và bắt đầu sử dụng thuốc.
C. Some people argue that these drugs are not actually detrimental to users’ health and therefore they should not be banned: Một vài người lý luận rằng những thuốc này không thực sự nguy hiểm đối với sức khỏe người dùng, do đó chúng không nên bị cấm - Sai vì nội dung hoàn toàn giống với Clue 2.
D. One third of the people participating in the test with dietary substances received positive results: một phần ba số người tham gia vào bài kiểm tra với các chất ăn kiêng tiếp nhận kết quả dương tính - Sai vì nội dung câu này đúng và có thể suy luận ra từ clue 3 (2/3 nhận kết quả âm tính nên 1/3 sẽ nhận kết quả dương tính)
