When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.“ You cant say its not a great university, just because Papa went there.” “Thats not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we cant afford to send you to college.” “I wouldnt dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things arent that bad, are they?” “No,” she said. “I dont expect you to help support us.”Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop, His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. Whats more ,they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful ；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.I was torn between the deserve to help them and change, their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes.

It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant（抑制药）, damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination （协调），slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving well be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is: 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液)Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK$ 25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) far breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.59.

After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publishers editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing（追求）a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined.
