moderate drinking when he wasn"t so pressured at work, and that "a few too many drinks now and then"
wasn"t a major problem."
My wife and father were on me to stop drinking, but you know how critical and protective family can
be," said Brian. "So I blew them off."
It wasn"t until his friend Jack spoke up that Brian started to think differently. "That really hit home,
because I wouldn"t expect a friend to confront me with something that personal unless it was very
important," said Brian. "
Jack said he was really concerned about me. He pointed out that my personality changed after I had
a few beers--that I became belligerent(寻衅的). For a normally easy-going guy, that was a dramatic
change in behavior." Jack could see that Brian"s numerous drinking binges(放纵) were causing problems. Brian was frequently calling into work sick and falling behind in his work, and his marriage was seriously
on the ropes. Brian was teetering on the edge of disaster. "I didn"t want to see a good life and a good
friendship ruined," said Jack, "so I approached Brian, shared my honest observations with him, and
suggested that he seek help."
After a couple days of soul searching, though still reluctant, Brian took Jack"s suggestion and was
assessed by an addiction professional. The expert recommended that Brian check into a treatment center, and one day later Brian did so.
Many people fear taking the path that Jack took. Speaking up to a friend who may have a problem
with alcohol or other drugs can be a tricky undertaking.
Yet it"s true that a concerned friend can do a lot. Most people don"t recognize they have a substance
abuse problem and most don"t seek help for a problem until someone close to them intervenes(干预).
B. He changed so much that he was deserted by his family.
C. He became morally corrupted drinking too much all day.
D. He drank a little more than normal to escape the pressure.
2. What does "that" in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
B. Jack"s talk with Brian.
C. Wife and father"s intervention.
D. Brian"s different thoughts.
B. Jack’s suggestions were professional and persuasive
C. Jack and Brian"s family had different opinions
D. he knew his friend wouldn"t easily intervene his personal affair
B. his bad temper and aggressiveness
C. his failure to do his work well
D. his marriage problems
B. warn us not to fall into the habit of drinking
C. show friends have real power to intervene
D. prove a friend in need is a friend indeed
necessities of life__2__they couldn"t give much more. If I asked my father__3__a pair of jeans,
he would say, "If you want them, make the money and buy them__4__." He wasn"t being mean;

When I__6__from high school, I joined the navy. Soon I was in a boot camp(新兵训练营)
at Parris Island, S. C., where I learned that life in the navy centered around completing daily
__7__ . These could be anything from cleaning the camp to conducting mock(模拟的)
battles. Completing these tasks successfully__8__ discipline, team-work and responsibility.
It didn"t__9__whether you were black, white or Asian; everyone worked together for the

annoying, scary and difficult, but also life-changing, satisfying and amazing. Because I had
studied Spanish for a couple of years before I went out, I had just one week of classes at
Volunteer Bolivia.
Living with a family also helped my Spanish greatly and I felt immediately like one of their
daughters. We were good friends from the beginning of my time there and I was looked after
very well. I still had a lot of independence. The Volunteer Bolivia centre, with its cafe bar and
cultural talks, was a meeting place for all the volunteers and I met some wonderful people
from all over the world who were doing the same as me------giving something of themselves
to a country which needs so much.
My job was in a caring centre for prisoners" children from the Cochabamba prisons and
from the very (恰好的)start I felt welcomed and needed. There I met some inspiring members
who put so much of their heart into caring for those children who maybe had no one else to
love them. Not only the work itself was very hard but at times it was emotionally demanding,
especially sending a group of two year olds back into the prison at the end of the day. Despite
all this, I learnt a lot through the experience and now I"m more aware of the problems faced
daily by many people in South America. The centre has very limited funding (资金)so they
depend heavily on the work of volunteers, and any time people give is very valuable to them.
Since returning to Britain I have kept in touch with the people I worked with and I"m trying
to support them as much as possible. Volunteering through Volunteer Bolivia has changed my
life and is an experience I will never forget.

A monk happened to go by and the farmer called out in__8__, "Come over here and help me.__9__
this tiger!"
The monk said, "Oh, no. I cannot do that. I cannot take the__10__of another." Then he went on to
deliver a long__11__against killing. All the while, the farmer was holding__12__to the tail of the angry
tiger. When the monk finally finished his__13__, the farmer asked, "If you won"t kill the tiger, then__14__
come and hold its tail while I kill it."
The monk thought that perhaps, it would be all right to__15__hold the tiger"s tail, so he__16__and
pulled.The farmer, however, turned and walked away down the road.
The monk__17__after him, "Come back here and kill the tiger!"
"Oh, no," the farmer replied. "You have__18__me!" If the largest room in the world is "room for
