省市高考英语阅读理解训练题14及答案People who drink alcohol earn more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted “social capital社交资本gained from drinking.The study concluded that drinkers earn 10-14 percent more than teetotalers, and that men who drink socially bring home an additional seven percent in pay.“Social drinking builds social capital,said Edward String ham, an economics professor,“Social drinkers are outgoing, building relationships, and keeping in contacts, which results in bigger paychecks.The researchers said the most likely explanation is that drinkers have a wider range of social contacts that help provide better job and business opportunities.“Drinkers may be able to socialize more with clients and co-workers, giving drinkers an advantage in important relationships. Drinking may also provide individuals with opportunities to learn people, business, and social skills. They also said these conclusions provide arguments against policies aimed at controlling alcohol use in university and public places.“Not only do anti-alcohol policies reduce drinkers fun, but they may also decrease earnings,the study said, “One of the consequences of alcohol restrictions is that they push drinking into private behavior.
