The World Health Organization (WHO) says alcohol abuse is the third leading cause of death in the world. A new WHO report says the harmful use of alcohol kills two and one-half million people a year. And officials say action is needed to tackle the problem. The WHO released the \Status Report on Alcohol and Health 2011\last week. The report shows young people at risk. It says 320,000 people between the ages of 15 and 29

die yearly from alcohol-related causes. That is nine percent of all deaths in that age group.

The WHO report finds that six percent of all male deaths worldwide are related to alcohol. This is true in only one percent of female deaths.

There are four main causes of alcohol-related death. Injury from car accidents or violence is one. Diseases like cancer, heart and blood system diseases are the others. The WHO report says alcohol abuse also adds to the development of 200 other diseases. The WHO has a plan to reduce the harmful use of alcohol.

Commandments (戒律) of American Culture

A This passage focuses on ten very common sayings that will help you understand American culture. Of course these ten sayings, which I have called the \Commandments of American Culture,\not really \They have no religious or moral authority like the \Commandments\of the Bible do for Jews and Christians. However, if you break any of these \commandments,\most Americans will think you do not fit very well in America.

B Success is probably the most praised thing in American life. It relates to many other characteristics of American life like individualism, freedom and optimism. Americans want to \a success of themselves.\This is the \Dream\which has attracted millions of immigrants and been taught to generations of American children. Everyone wants to be a success at something. If you do not think that way, you may be considered a failure. It is almost impossible to criticize success. For example, if an employee does something without properly consulting his superior, and as a result the company gets a big contract with a new customer, the employee will get more praise than blame. The success of getting the new contract is more important than the failure to consult a superior.

C Americans love freedom and privacy (隐私). It means we love to be left alone. We don't want anyone interfering in our affairs, giving us advice, or trying to run our lives. We want people to \let live\should be listed as the first commandment of American culture, even more important than success. It means that no one should object to anyone else's way of living. If you like opera and I like country music, it is fine. If you want to get married and I want to live with someone without marrying her, it is fine too. Neither of us should try to influence the other or object to the way the other lives. If we are not tolerant of other people, we may damage their dignity.

D Americans try to have as much fun as possible. Much of our fun comes through various entertainment, especially TV. But we also try to turn other activities into fun. Shopping is fun. Eating is fun, and in case it is not enough fun, we will put a playground inside the fast food restaurant so the kids can have fun playing while the grown-ups have fun sitting and eating. People try to get a job which is fun (though not many succeed). In most situations Americans are very time-conscious. However, we forget to watch the clock when we are having fun. That is why \flies,\

E Many Americans shop as a form of recreation. Even if we are not shopping for anything in particular, we simply enjoy looking at all the options. We love the whole process of choosing

what to buy and where to buy it. It is a major topic of social conversation. If you want to impress an American friend, convince him or her that you are a \

F We are people of action. We do not like too much planning which seems a waste of time. We do not like rules and regulations that prevent action. We strongly dislike authority structures where people are expected to inform several other people before they do anything. We get an idea and we want to just do it. Action is seen as the key to success. Action is more valuable than planning, checking regulations, or informing people.

G Americans are always seeking to gain something or improve something. We expect to have to work to achieve our goals. Success usually involves pains and sacrifice. It will not happen by itself. We look down on people who often complain about how hard something is. The ones we admire are the ones who know what they want and do not mind the pains it takes to get it.

H Human rights and dignity are so basic to American thinking that we assume everyone else must think the same way. This saying implies the commandment, %up for your rights.\In the American Revolution, America as a nation said to Britain, %us for long enough. You will not rule us any more.\live,\push it away.

I The idea that time is money has gotten into our minds so deeply that it affects our whole lives. Wasting time is as bad as wasting money, so we schedule everything and we hurry everywhere. We often signal the end of a phone conversation or a meeting by saying, \take up any more of your time.\if you have nothing else to do for the rest of the day. You will be breaking the Eighth Commandment of American culture, \

J We obey rules most of the time, but we see rules as someone else's idea of how we should do things. We think the rule might have been appropriate in some other situation but it might not be appropriate for our situation now. Therefore, we break it and do what we think is a better idea. This saying implies the commandment, \obey rules.\

K In a list of \commandment rather than the last one. But in American culture, God actually does come at the end of the list. For most Americans, God is much less a concern than success, money and time. God helps those who help themselves could mean that God blesses people who work hard, or it could mean, \saying points to the commandment, \
