问题     At the apartment, we found an unshaven, grey-haired man sitting in a shabby recliner. He had an【B1】______ grin on his face. His hands were【B2】______ trembling, and the place stank of bottles. A big part of my job as a New York City Fire Department emergency medical technician was【B3】______ drunks—"frequent flyers." Typically, they were smelly, 【B4】______, uncooperative characters. On this call my partner told the patient he needed to pull himself together and stop drinking. He just sat there. As I took his blood pressure, he looked me in the eye. That look gave me the【B5】______. A second later his hands stopped shaking. He seized and died. After work I went to see a movie with a bottle of Jack Daniel’s and got hammered. The way he’d【B6】______ my eyes, it was as if he’d known that I often went to the movies to get drunk: as if he knew that I, too, had a big drinking problem.
    And then one day I stopped. At my【B7】______ checkup, the doctor asked how much I drank. I said I was a social drinker. "Meaning what?" he asked "One or two drinks a week?" "Well, 15 or 20 a day" I said. At the moment, I became one of the five percent of alcoholics who can simply【B8】______ drinking. It took just one step. That was five years ago.
    I still remember the look the old man gave me in the last moments of his life. Like my doctor’s expression, it【B9】______ me and helped me stay sober. He may be gone, but as long as I’m around, he will never be【B10】______. [br] 【B3】
