Drunken driving — sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of     1       — has become a national epidemic (流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to a/an     2     number of 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or     3     three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were not     4     in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially     5     young children, that public opinion is no longer so     6     of it.

Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, altering a     7     in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than     8    , so the state recently upped it back to 21.

Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless     9     by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to     10     strong pressure to drink. Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked decrease in fatalities (死亡事故), some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks.

From the golden-tipped fields of mid-west America to the ancient kingdoms of verdant Palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take care. In more recent times, this truth has been     1     as: April showers bring May flowers. This is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life     2     from death.

Farmers all over the world know importance and immutability(不变) of the seasons. They know there is a season to plant and a season to     3    ; everything must be done in its own time. Although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness(无情),     4     all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. Despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the     5     substance his crops need to grow and florish. The torrential rains in the month of April, give rise to the     6     flowers in the month of May.

But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience     7     in life. A dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. A lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. A broken dream can become the     8     of a wonderful future. Everything has its place.

Remember this: overwhelming darkness may     9     for a night; yet the radiant light of the morning will never be     10    . When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner.

City streets are littered with all kinds of refuse. On just about every street and sidewalk, one can find old newspaper, crushed cans, food wrappers, and discarded cigarettes, not to mention blobs (斑点) of old chewing gum     1     (stick) on walls, street poles, and on the ground. Of all these, gum is one of the hardest things to clean up.

In its attempt     2     (clean) discarded gum off the streets and sidewalks, the authorities in London have tried everything from tools that shoot high-pressure water and steam to various kinds of chemicals     3     dissolve the gum. But nothing seems to work. The streets     4     (dot) with unattractive blobs of the stuff. Or at least they were unattractive     5     Ben Wilson came along.

Ben Wilson is an artist on a mission. He wants to make good use of     6     others have thrown away and no one else wants: old chewing gum. When Mr. Wilson finds gum on the ground, down he goes with his painting supplies and sets out to create a work of art. He uses the discarded blobs of old gum     7     canvases (画布) for his mini paintings. After finishing a work, Mr. Wilson takes a picture of     8     for his archive.

    9     (paint) all the gum on the streets of London could be a never-ending task for Ben Wilson. On a single street like High Street Barnet, it took him more than one month to paint all of the gum that he found in just three blocks. And new canvases are being spit out every day on streets. But he does not seem worried. As he told a reporter in one interview, “I’m just going to keep painting and see     10     the enthusiasm takes me.”
