单选题Drunken driving- sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder- has become a national epidemic (流行病) . Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers. A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were tolerant in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend 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 doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accomplished by educational programs to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" about drinking and teach them to resist pressure to drink. Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒店主) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was "obviously intoxicated" and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy. As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919. They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.

To forgive may be divine, but no one
ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely
difficult to let go of your grudge. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be
surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. "People who forgive
show less depression, anger and stress, and more hopefulness," says Frederic
Luskin, Ph. D., author of Forgive for Good (HarperCollins, 2002). "So it can
help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the
immune system and allow people to feel more vital." So how do
you start the healing? Try following these steps: Calm yourself. To defuse your
anger, try a simple stress-management technique. "Take a couple of breaths and
think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone
you love, "Luskin says. Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who
hurt you has no intention of apologizing," Luskin says. "They may have wanted to
hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people
to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time." Keep in mind that
forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset
you or condoning of his or her action. Take the control away
from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who
caused you pain. "Instead of focusing or, your wounded feelings, learn to look
for the love, beauty and kindness around you," Luskin says. Try to see things
from the other person's perspective. If you empathize with that person, you may
realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love. To gain
perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's
point of view. Recognize the benefits Of forgiveness, Research has shown that
people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep
patterns. Don't forget to forgive yourself. "For people, forgiving themselves is
the biggest challenge, "Luskin says. "But it can rob you of your self-confidence
if you don't."

Both plants and animals of many sorts
show remarkable changes in form, structure, growth habits, and even mode of
reproduction in becoming adapted to different climatic environment, types of
food supply, or mode of living. This divergence in response to evolution is
commonly expressed by altering the form and function of some part or parts of
the organism, the original identity of which is clearly discernible. For
example, the creeping foot of the snail is seen in related marine preemptors to
be modified into a flapping organ useful for swimming, and is changed into
prehensile arms that bear sartorial disks in the squids and other cephalopods.
The limbs of various mammals are modified according to several different modes
of life—for swift running (cursorial) as in the horse and antelope, for swinging
to several different modes of life—for swinging in trees (arboreal) as in the
monkey, for digging ( fossorial ) as in the moles and gophers, for flying
(volant) as in the bats, for swimming (aquatic) as in the seals, whales and
dolphins, and for other adaptations. The structures or organs that show main
change in connection with this adaptive divergence are commonly identified
readily as homologous, in spite of great alterations. Thus, the fingers and
wrist bones of a bat and whale, for instance, have virtually nothing in common
except that they are definitely equivalent elements of the mammalian
limb.
