Pub hours shake-up revealed next weekBy James Hardy Political EditorPUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain’s outdated licensing (许可证发放) laws.Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill (议案) to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen’s Speech next week. Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism (破坏行为) after 11 p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time.The move will be opposed by some MPs (下院议员) who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism, drunken behavior and crime. But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.Mr. Blair said: "We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing. In the end, the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior. At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hours of the evening."The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement, the Government is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.

In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at alarming rate. Most acts of violence were committed by young people . 57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age.Everyone agrees that crime is party a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education, living without a settled home, being parentless, sufferings from other kings of misfortune, etc.There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate. In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some protection.

You can tell age of a tree by counting its rings. But these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at elements in the rings from a certain year, scientists can what elements were in the air that year. Dr. Stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 track back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar buring. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely, and at other times it’s relatively calm. During the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged formation of carbon-14 on earth. When there is more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle. What effects the amount of carbon-14 on earth（）
