问答题Two to three times more people die in alcohol-related vehicle crashes during that time than during comparable periods the rest of the year, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism says. And 40% of traffic fatalities during winter holidays involved an alcohol-impaired driver, compared with 28% for other dates in December. Fueling the underage drinking problem, especially at this time of the year, is "a combination of greater access to alcohol, less parental oversight and mixed messages" about celebrating with alcohol, Delany says. Young people are told "don"t drink, don"t do that, but in every third commercial in recent weeks, we see something linked to alcohol and drinking," he says. And there"s also the issue of "what kind of message parents may give," Delany adds. "Maybe they"re drinking a lot. Kids see that it"s OK." What is needed is a long-term message "that underage drinking is not OK," he says. "But adolescents don"t do well with "Just say no." We have to find ways to help young people make good decisions."

问答题As the UN's global development network, UNDP recognizes that climate change calls for a new development paradigm, one that mainstreams climate change into development planning at all levels, links development policies with the financing of solutions and helps countries move towards less carbon-intensive, yet sustainable economies. In 2008, UNDP endorsed a new climate change strategy, which supports the capacity of developing countries to make informed policy and investment decisions to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce poverty and accelerate the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The strategy also sets out how UNDP works with the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the UN Environment Program (UNEP) and the World Bank. UNDP promotes both climate change mitigation and adaption efforts since both are essential to meet the climate change challenge. On mitigation, UNDP's efforts include promoting greater energy efficiency in all sectors and uses, increased utilization of a wide range of renewable energies, increased energy access for the poor, policy reform and capacity development. On the adaptation side, UNDP supports countries as they work to integrate climate risks into national development policy and plans, develop financing options to meet national adaption costs and share adaption knowledge and experiences. UNDP's value added in preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change lies in its strong presence on the ground in 166 countries in terms of both operational capacity and expertise, including both experts on climate change policy and professionals in project development, a combination that allows UNDP to effectively implement projects at the country level. For example, once the final agreement on the new Kyoto Protocol is made, UNDP will help member countries to apply for and manage funds and technology as they work to fulfill their part in a new global deal on carbon emissions. In fact, UNDP has launched a groundbreaking capacity development initiative that is working with 13 African, Asian and Latin American and Caribbean developing countries to choose three key sectors—for example, energy, agriculture and tourism—in preparation for a national inter-ministerial workshop on national climate actions and the Bali Action Plan. Once these sectors are identified, UNDP will support countries in assessing the magnitude and intensity of national efforts needed to implement mitigation and adaptation actions. As the effects of climate change are increasingly felt in tandem with the effects of the economic crisis, opportunities are arising for real development change. UNDP is developing new partnerships, planning tools, public policies and financial instruments that help transform and create markets that work for people and the environment. By helping to protect forests around the world, UNDP both protects community livelihoods and helps to drive down carbon emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that the cutting down of forests is now contributing close to 20 percent of the overall greenhouse gases that are entering the atmosphere, making the goal of reducing deforestation an urgent and immediate one.

问答题The desire to escape from society and return to nature has become a permanent convention of American literature since the 19th century. Please discuss this literary motif in social and cultural contexts, and illustrate it with two or three examples from the 19th and 20th American literature.

问答题If you were a woman reading this magazine 40 years ago, the odds were good that your husband provided the money to buy it. That you voted the same way he did. That if you got breast cancer, he might be asked to sign the form authorizing an operation. That your son was heading to college but not your daughter. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}That your boss, if you had a job, could explain that he was paying you less because, after all, you were probably working just for pocket money.{{/U}} It's funny how things change slowly, until the day we realize they've changed completely.{{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}It's expected that by the end of the year, for the first time in history the maioriw of workers in the U.S. will be women-largely because the downturn has hit men so hard.{{/U}} This is an extraordinary change in a single generation, and it is gathering speed. More and more women are the primary breadwinner in their household (almost 40%) or are providing essential income for the family's bottom line. Their buying power has never been greater-and their choices have seldom been harder. It is in this context that the Rockefeller Foundation, in collaboration with TIME, conducted a landmark survey of gender issues to assess how individual Americans are reacting. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The study found that men and women are in broad agreement about what matters most to them, and as the Old Economy dissolves and pressures on working parents grow, they share their fears and frustration{{/U}}. However, this is not to say there's nothing left to argue about. More than two-thirds of women still think men resent powerful women, yet women are more likely than men to say female bosses are harder to work for than male ones. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Among the most puzzling changes of all is the evidence, tracked by numerous surveys, that as women have gained more freedom, more education and more economic power, they have become less happy{{/U}}. No tidy theory explains the trend, but there are a few ways to look at it. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}It may be that women have become more honest about what troubles them; Or that they are now free to wrestle with the same pressures and conflicts that once accounted for greater male unhappiness{{/U}}. Or that modern life in a global economy is simply more stressful for everyone but especially for women, who are working longer hours while playing quarterback at home. Today's world is no longer a man's world, nor is it a woman's nation. It's a cooperative, with bylaws under constant negotiation and expectations that profits be equally shared.
