Question Number 7 is refer to the following text
Should performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial. Those who agree to the
use of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train
harder and feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and
managers of the big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient
levels. The main effect of banning such substances has turned performers and their coaches into liars
and cheaters.

On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned.
Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but
because they can damage the health of athletes.

The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of
punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by
rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted
unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only
arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

30. Most drug users get drugs from ...

A. Jails
B. Peddlers
C. Traffickers
D. Wholesalers

31. Sending drug users to prison is not a good solution because ...
A. They can't consume harmful drugs.
