Answer the questions according to the following passage.
In May 2011，Gao Xiaosong，a Chinese musician，was caught in a car accident. When the police asked him to take a breath alcohol test（酒精呼气测试），the result showed that he had drunk too much wine. Because of that，he is now in prison（监狱）and can’t be allowed to drive cars in China for five years.
Nowadays，cars are very important in people’s life. More and more cars are going into Chinese families. However，lots of car accidents take place and many people are hurt or killed every year. According to a police survey，（1）there are a lot of drivers driving after drinking. And the number of drunken driving is still large.
After drinking，a driver can’t control himself or his car. In some cases（案例），some drivers even drove into rivers or houses after they drank.
As it is so dangerous，there is no excuse for drunken driving. Remember the following three rules when driving.
Never drive after drinking.
Never let anyone drive after drinking.
（2）Never give alcohol（酒）to anyone who would drive later.
If all of us can keep these three rules in mind，there will be fewer car accidents，fewer people will be heart-broken. For the safety of ourselves and for the happiness of our families，we must remember：No driving after drinking!
(A).根据短文内容简要答问题。How many years can’t Gao Xiaosong be allowed to drive?
Why can’t people drive after drinking？
(B).将短文中(1)(2)划线部分的句子译成汉语。(不可直译。要根据语境，意译)请给短文拟一个适当的标题。(可在原文中找)
We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small Italian town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why. “Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形的) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square.
“See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.
In the years that followed, I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. It not only helped me deal with the lunch trouble, but also made me know where I wanted to go in life. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

In America, there is a traditional story called a “tall tale”. A tall tale is a story about a person who is larger than life. The descriptions in the story are exaggerated (夸张的), which makes the story funny. People who had lived in undeveloped areas in America first told tall tales. After a hard day’s work, they would get together to tell each other funny stories. One character from these stories was Paul Bunyan, a hero who cut down trees in North America. Tradition says he cleared forests from the northeastern United States to the Pacific Ocean.
It is said that Paul Bunyan was born in the northeastern American state of Maine. His mother and father were shocked when they first saw the boy. When the boy was only a few weeks old, he weighed more than forty-five kilograms. As a child, Paul was always hungry. His parents needed ten cows to supply(提供) milk for his meals. Before long, he ate fifty eggs and ten containers of potatoes every day. Young Paul grew so big that his parents did not know what to do with him. Once, Paul rolled over (翻身)so much in his sleep that he caused an earthquake. This angered people in the town where his parents lived. So the government told his mother and father they would have to move him somewhere else. Paul’s parents had to take him into the woods where he grew up.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is a "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American–born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside — looking like a Chinese but thinking like a Westerner. Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C .N.Yang (杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
