On August 4, while a young man in Hangzhou was caught because of killing another young man with his car, a 17-year-old girl died because of the same reason in the same city. It’s reported that the driver was badly drunk.

???? Cars are more and more popular for more Chinese these days. And the numbers of car accidents are increasing. From 1994 to 2008, deaths because of drunk-driving increased 7.3%. In 2009, a total of 18,371 people were killed in car accidents because of drunk driving.

In the middle of August, there were some new rules to deal with the drunk drivers:

1. If a driver’s alcohol content(酒精含量) is 20mg per 100 ml of blood, he is regarded as a drunk driver.

2. If a driver’s alcohol content is 80mg per 100ml or more, he will be held(拘留) for 15 days and have their license revoked（吊销执照）for six months, and are given a fine（罚款） of 2,000 yuan.

The first weekend, 3,167 drivers were held because of high levels of alcohol in their blood.

There was once a hunter(猎人) who , on the seventh birthday of his son, decided to go hunting to get something nice for his son. But as he reached for the gun on the wall, it fell down, and the barrel (枪管) was bent like the letter “L”.

“Father, that’s a bad sign,” cried the boy. “Please don’t go hunting today.”

“You are silly!” said the father. “That’s a good sign. ‘L’ means ‘Luck’.”

The father went to a mountain lake. There were thirteen wild ducks on the lake! Twelve were playing in the water, and the thirteenth was sleeping beside a rock..

“Great!” the hunter aimed at one of the ducks.

“Bang!” went the shot. Ah, but as the gun barrel was crooked(弯曲), the bullet went zigzag, zigzag, hitting all the twelve ducks in the water and then hitting the thirteenth sleeping duck.

The ducks didn’t die at the moment, so the hunter tried to catch them. When he finally held the last duck by the neck, it suddenly hit the water for the last time with its wings. The something jumped out of the water and landed near the bank---a huge fish!
