As a boy， Sanders was much influenced by books about the sea， but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was sixteen， he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles， but was actually trying to listen to doctor's conversations with patients in the next room. During the war， Sanders served in the army as a surgeon (外科医生). "That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job. " In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life saver. He had proved-his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply， and were dependent upon him. Thus， while in a position to tell them what to do， he could feel he was serving them. After the war， he married and set up a clinic deep in the English countryside， working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the young man plenty of opportunity to go on working as a life saver.

It took firemen almost an hour to cut through the wreckage (残骸) of the car. By the time they reached the driver ， Wong， he had died. Seconds before the crash happened， the traffic on the road was flowing smoothly， and Wong was an experienced drive in a sturdy car. What could have caused the tragedy? Alcohol. After Wong had drunk four cans of beer， his physical and mental reactions had slowed. He had a false feeling of confidence. Then he lost control， hitting a fire hydrant and a lamp post. In almost every other developed country， Wong might have thought twice about getting behind the wheel and setting off in his car after drinking beer. His passengers might have refused to join him. Would you fly with a drunk pilot? Laws and public campaigns against drink-driving in many countries have changed people's lifestyles and saved thousands of lives. Drink-drivers are regarded as potential killers. In some countries， police on roadsides pull over motorists and check whether they have been drinking or not. In 1995， about 7 % of drivers killed in road accidents in Hong Kong were drink-driving. But this does not tell us the full extent of the problem because it does not show the number of motorists and pedestrians (行人) killed by drink­ drivers who survived their crash. In reality then， the number of people killed as a result of drink-driving must be much higher. But in 1995， only five people were prosecuted (起诉) for being drunk and incapable of controlling a vehicle.
