Bar codes (条形码) are one way that the U.S. Postal Service streamlines mail of the wrong hands. A letter that comes without a bar code or cancelled stamp might not have been processed by the U.S. Postal Service and it might indicate that something's fishy（可疑的). Can you decode (解码) a bar code the way the U.S. Postal Service can? Here’s How
1．Here's how to read the bar code on your letter.
·Most U.S. letter bar codes have bars of two lengths: long and short. ·Every bar code should start and end with long bars; ignore those.
·Look at the rest of the bars in groups of five, starting with the second bar. Each group of five represents one digit.（数字） 2. Here's how to figure out what those digits are.
·The five bars stand for one of these numbers: 7, 4, 2, 1, 0.
·Some genius figured out that this range would allow you to come up with the digits 0 to 9. You do it by adding the numbers of the long bars together. Say you have this bar code:code stands for 6.
Say you have this bar code:stands for 1.
Say you have this bar code:
Here, the 4 and 2 places have long bars. Added together, they total 6, so this bar
The 1 and 0 places have long bars. Added together, they total 1, so this bar code
The 7 and 4 pieces have long bars. Added together, they total 11, but there is no 11 in this system, so this bar code stands for 0. 3. Now let's look at the bar code on a letter.
Ignore the first and last bars of the whole bar code. Then look at the next 20 bars to find the zip code (0680). The next two sets of five bars give your mail carrier’s number (10153). The rest of the bars in the bar code indicate the house or mailbox number. The house number is 32.

In the United States, the legal age to drink alcohol is twenty-one --- one of the highest in the world. Americans debate whether it should be lowered, or whether young drinkers would only drink more. In parts of Europe, the legal drinking age for beer, and sometimes hard liquor, is sixteen. Yet France may raise the age limit for beer and wine sales to eighteen, the same as for hard liquor there.
Rules on alcohol differ from college to college in the United States. Many schools require all first-year students to take an alcohol prevention and education program, often given online. Some have a \tolerance\policy where alcohol is banned from all buildings. Parents are informed of violations（违反） and students may be suspended（停课）.
At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, permission is needed to serve alcohol at any event on campus. But alcohol is banned in first-year dorms --- where most students are under twenty-one anyway.
Susan Davis, a university lawyer, says campus police and local police report underage drinking violations to administrators. The university judicial committee decides punishment on a case by case basis. For example, the committee might suspend or expel a student. It might require an alcohol education program. Or it might just give a warning.
Jon Zug is a prosecutor（公诉人） in Albemarle County, where the university is located. He says international students would face the same punishment as American citizens for underage drinking in Virginia. That includes a fine of five hundred dollars or fifty hours of community service. But first offenders might be given a chance to complete an alcohol education program instead.
Schools have to report legal violations by international students to the Department of Homeland Security. International adviser Richard Tanson at the University of Virginia says even minor violations stay on a student's permanent immigration record. He says international students should know that this can affect them in the future if they try to re-enter the United States.
