This article is talking about a new way or method to tell people not to drink too much alcohol and take a serious attitude toward drinking liquor.
Too much alcohol would be harmful to our health; however, moderate drinking of liquor could be helpful to our body. Maybe thats why those kinds of methods would come into existence to make people realize how not to drink excess alcohol on an easy way. Nevertheless, there are two opposite commentaries on this issue. As for me, I think its hard to consider whether they are wrong. Instead, I think we should judge them by what measure they take and if they do work. Take the new cigarettes policy in Taiwan on January of this year, people could not smoke in public or a place that are three people in there. Besides, the government lifts the taxes in cigarettes and raises the price of them, hoping that those people who love smoking would get rid of having a smoke because of the high price of cigarettes. Although it doesnt work on the heavy smokers, it makes teenagers and those people who first time to try smoking really stop buying cigarettes. There is also a ad in America, it says that there is a boy trying to kiss a girl, but the girl rejects because the boys mouth is a flavor of a cigarette. It successfully warns teenagers and decreases the number of teenagers who smoke.
As a result, the campaign in the article is successful because they use the moderate and right way to remind people how dangerous if they drink too much and drink in a responsible way. (276)

According to this article,it talks about a Gutpa, who is the first unorthodox choice for Surgeon General.
I think it's difficult to be a great official,no matter what kinds of positions they occupy. Besides, what actually does matter is that what the officials do for people not what kind of backgrounds they are from. Maybe Gutpa is the first time to contact with administrative matters in formal. On the other hand, he has a lot of experiences in performing surgery at Emory University. I think the most different part of his work now is that he has to not only focus on his professional field but everything about public's health.
Moreover, to be a Surgeon General should take many sort of duties such as educating the public on all public-health issues, ranging from HIV prevention to obesity, insurance coverage, disease-prevention efforts and etc. He pays much more attention to what the President's focus puts .For example, the President Obama’ s new political aim on health is about the preventive health-care. Therefore, what Gutpa should do is figure some practicable methods out and bring this message to the public. He shows up on TV programs to tell the Americans the details about this policy and writes the article for Time magazine to achieve the consequences he wants.In addition, there were many officials had worked for promoting the Americans’ healthy living goals before. The most important thing is that they have to take everything involved in this issue into consideration so that they could really make correct policies for people. (259)

No one will associate the sleep quality to heart problems at all,unless,they read this article as I.Frankly speaking,people usually put heart diseases together with horrible food habits,serious corpulence and so on.Therefore,I am so surprised and lucky to see this report because now I realize such a important information that sleeping too less would make some unknown hazards to our hearts.
As far as lots of people concerned,they often impute some heart problems such as high cholesterol,hypertension and diabetes to some other reasons instead of lack of sleep.Besieds,they also consider that sleeping and alcohol only make influences on the liver. However,according to the research which is discovered and improved,the ringleader of heart illnesses is that sleeping too less each day.Not only we but the researchers are so astonished by this surprising detect.As a result,through their experiments for confirming whether the discover is true or not,they corroborate it accurately.
As for me,knowing this new information is one important thing and the other one is what we should do to make some preventions of those kinds of tragedies.I think the most effective method is to sleep as enough as possible at least 6 ours each day.Then,trying not to form bad habits such as smoking ,alcohol and any kind of hobby might make us get heart sicknesses.We should do everything we can for saving our hearts and health.(224)

My Reactions:
Before thousands of years ago,there were a lot of people knew they should prevent conceptions.In each period of that time,many experts invented various form of condoms.What their shapes were or what materials to make them were not that important,because their purpose was to avoid pregnancy.As a consequence,most people concerned about was whether they effected well.Besides,not only males but also the females have their own condoms.Although most of the condoms are designed for men,there are few types for women,because women also should learn how to protect themselves with initiative.However,there are some problems for making womens’ condoms for the cost is high and it needs more advanced techniques.
In my opinion,using condoms when having sex is the smartest and safest way to protect each other.There are so many viruses would infect to people when they are making love without good preventions.Thus,AIDS,the most dreadful contagious venereal disease could spread worldwide easily because almost modern people extensively intercourse with their beloved or even with strangers in one night stand.Then,they get the disease unconsciously.Furtheremore,I have heard a news that there was a infected person with injectors of the AIDS’s virus showing up in the night market and he stabbed it into whoever he saw.It’s really dangerous and disgusting.
As a result,I think the best ways to protect ourselves are using condoms properly,having a fixed sex partner and watch out whether there is someone looking like a pervert or weird person around us.(237)

How Struggling Cities Can Reinvent Themselves
My Reactions:
Because we are faced with the difficulty of global recession,many officials of lots countries all try their best to figure out something helpful to resolve their problem of economic downturn.Even though cities are almost the most advanced also encounter these economical problems.That’s why I think we should pay more attention on these topics and think about our future.
Actually,there are so many people are unemployed in the world even the China,which most companies come for reducing their cost of workers.Take my father’s factory for example,he usually can not hire many laborers because many factories would vie for cheaper workpeople.However,he now hire a lot of people to work for him because almost all the factories around are closed as a result of the economic crisis.Therefore,we find some resolutions for overcoming this bad economic situation.For instance,many agricultural cities of Taiwan would combine their famous products and beautiful tourist spots,then hold a special activity to attract people around Taiwan even foreign countries to tour and consum.It’s really a great way to make people spend their money.Furtheremore,we could learn other countries methods to enhance skills of selling our products and appeal to much more people come to Taiwan and improve the circumstance of global recession.

My Reactions:
I think when we are dealing with those problems between mother-in-law and the women,we have to probe into both of their points of view.
For example,I am absolutely not used to share my son’s love with another woman because I think I love him much than any other people even than his wife.However,it’s inevitable.Besides,mother-in-law might want to give some older advice on the way how to teach the grandchildren but the young couple would like to use their modern methods so the conflicts might pop out.On the other hand,the wives are also very toilsome for they have to move into a new family, adapt to them and try to play their role well.They have married so they have to learn some new rules and not allow to do something they usually do when they are single.It’s pretty difficult for them indeed.If they still express themselves as they want then the frictions with mother-in-law just emerge.
Nevertheless,the most important role to help them disentangle these problems or conflicts is the mother’s son,the wife’s husband for their combination is all because of him.As a consequence,I consider that as long as he patiently play the role who appeases them well and until they know each other for much more time and deeply then all the unhappy things would definitely disappear.

My Reactions:
I think using cell phones in the jail obviously produces many unnecessary problems to a lot of countries.In the modern society,the techniques and functions of cell phones are more advanced and diversified.Then,people can do variety of things by it no matter they are bad or good.
In those cases mentioned in the article,some people are agreeing with making tough law to forbid all prisoners using cell phones but the others are opposing against what the former people say.They are all have their own reasons for this issue.As for me, I think it is necessary to pass a new law to keep cell phones out of prison because if prisoners can use it at their will,there are something dangerous and unknown will happen.Inmates could communicate with each other by make a phone call,then they would make some riots in the society outside or even plan a scheme of prison break.These kinds of things will make our order much more turbulent and waste our manpower of police officers.Although we would do some harmful things to our social security if we want to have a thorough eradication of cell phones in jail,I still completely identify with this concept for it’s too late for us to be regretted when tragedies happened.(207)
