Survey: Most Chinese think penalty(懲罰) for drunk driving too light
2009-08-18 13:33:53 GMT2009-08-18 21:33:53 (Beijing Time) Xinhua English
BEIJING, Aug.18 (Xinhua) -- Most Chinese people consider drunk driving impossible to stop in the country while the current law(法律) too light for drunk drivers, a survey has found.

According to the survey done by the China Youth Daily, more than 96% of the 1,792 respondents(被告) said people around them had driven after drinking, while more than 81% complained the current penalty was too light, the paper reported Tuesday. Now offenders(違規(guī)者) face a three-to-six month suspension(吊銷)of their driving licenses and detention(拘留) for up to 15 days in serious cases.
Drunk driving has attracted wide public attention in China after several serious accidents in recent months. On Aug. 4, a drunk driver in Hangzhou killed a 16-year-old girl. Two days later, another drunk driver in Shanghai killed a four-year-old boy and injured three others.
Drunk driving is regarded as just traffic violation if no accidents result, according to the Chinese law. But some people have called for regarding it as a crime no matter whether it results in serious accidents. “If it’s a crime and anyone caught will go to jail(監(jiān)獄), a lot more people will be afraid of risking it,” said Wang Mingliang, a professor at the Fudan University. However, other people disagreed.
In 2008, China’s alcohol（酒精）-related traffic accidents led to 18,371 deaths, 76,230 injuries, and a property(財(cái)產(chǎn)) loss of 250 million yuan ($36.7 million), according to official figures.

Tea bag drinking is most westerners’ favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄紗) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.

閱讀短文，按要求完成短文后的各項(xiàng)任務(wù)。
The holiday’s upon us．After months of study, you have some time to yourself．So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media（媒體）that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!”
But don’t be fooled．There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible．
One clear reason is that a well-chosen _________is a wonderful collection of _______ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course．Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet．
But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The webpage（網(wǎng)頁）is always full of pictures and the text is often designed（設(shè)計(jì)） to make it as easy to read as possible．Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level．For that, there’s still no substitute（替代品）for a book．
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．Reading can bring us great pleasure.
