The only way that I 4 this out was by becoming an addict myself. I used to be a guy who was 5 in the popular crowd. Right before high school began, I started being 6 by most of my friends. I had never lived with the 7 that I had no friends, so I did almost anything to 8 the two good friends I still had. One of the things I did was 9 drugs for the first time. This was a big 10 from the way I lived when I was younger. I was a(n) 11 , and the last thing I thought I would get into was drugs. Drugs 12 me from being the best sports player I could be.

I 13 to smoke drugs after I entered high school because that was what my new "cool" friends were 14 . The next three years were filled with many 15 , I was arrested twice, and lost my license for two years. This made me sad and 16 .

I realized I could not live this way; I must stop the 17 of using drugs.

Since then, my 18 and actions have changed and so has my direction in life. I do see a future in water skiing. 　19, I haven't killed my chance in 20 . I know that I must keep a clear head first. Keep Coming Back. It works if you work it.

The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface.  【小题1】
When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions（情绪）, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”  【小题2】 After we cry, the  feelings that caused the tears often disappear.
Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling — shock, anger, fear, or sadness— is being held back.
But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry.  【小题3】 Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of ease tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.【小题4】 And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.  【小题5】You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.
