Milan has prohibited the consumption and sale of alcohol to young teenagers in an effort to curb binge-drinking (抑制狂欢饮酒). Parents of children under the age of 16 caught drinking wine or spirits will be liable to heavy fines of up to 500 Euros ($700). A third of 11-year-olds in the city have alcohol related problems. In a country where for centuries wine has been part of local culture the prohibition has comes as a shock. But the authorities are deeply concerned about the increase in consumption of alcohol by children as young as 11 in the country’s industrial and financial capital. So as an experiment, supplying alcohol—either wine or spirits—to youths under the age of 16 in bars, restaurants and liquor stores will be prohibited. Heavy fines will be imposed on the parents of offending children and on shopkeepers or bar owners who serve them. A national law prohibiting the sale of alcohol to under-16s is only loosely enforced (执行), as Italian families are used to sometimes giving young children a teaspoon of wine as a family party treat. In the past centuries, Italian children would sometimes even be given wine to drink in preference to water which was often polluted. There has been a storm of protest by bar owners who refuse to act as alcohol police for young people. But more Italians have realized that their old easy-going attitudes towards consumption of alcohol will have to change. The difficulty in enforcing a national law to prohibit the sale of alcohol to young teenagers mainly comes from ______.
Paul Newman was not only a movie star. He was also politically active, and fought for liberal causes. In 1968, he helped the Democratic Party presidential candidate in election. Newman protested the Vietnam War in front of the American Embassy in London. He expressed great pride that he was named on President Nixon’s list of enemies. Paul Newman also worked on social issues important to him. In 1978, his twenty-eight year old son Scott died after taking too much drugs and alcohol. In response, Newman created the Scott Newman centre to help educate children and families on preventing drug abuse (吸毒). In the 1980s, Newman decided to start selling a salad dressing he had created and given to many friends as gifts. The "Newman Own" company he started with his friends A.E. Hotchner became a huge success selling different food products. Over the gears, more than two hundred fifty million dollars in company profits have been donated to social causes and organizations. One of these is the Wall Gang Camp, started by Paul Newman in 1988. Its aim is to provide a free summer camp experience to children with cancer and other serious diseases. There are now camps in the United States and several other countries. Newman said that he started the organization as a way to honor the role that luck has played in his life. He said that the camp is a way to help children who are unfairly affected by luck’s cruelty. The Wall Gang Camp was supported with ______.
