Alcohol and tobacco are drugs. The caffeine found in coffee, tea, cocoa, and some soft drinks is a drug.
13、Drug abuse(滥用) is the use of a drug, legal or illegal, that hurts a person or someone close to him. A drug user is the person who takes the drug. There are many kinds of drug users.

14、users take drugs to get high. They use drugs with friends or at parties to get into the mood or things. Regular users take drugs all the time.

15、ole life centers around drugs. They feel extreme mental or physical pain when without drugs.All drugs can be harmful. The effect of any drug depends on a lot of things.

No matter where you are, you are probably goi
21、ng to see or hear advertisements, or commercials. Some people say that advertising has a bad influence, or effect. Says writer Noreen Janus:Advertisers use mainly a few themes again and again: happiness, youth, success, status, luxury, fashion, and beauty. They hide class differences and problems in
22、 the workplace. Many ads suggest that you can solve all human problems by buying things. They suggest that modern things are good and traditional things are bad. As one ad professional said, “ Once the TV set goes to work, the family is like a kid in a candy store. They watch 450 commercials a week.
23、 They see all the beautiful things. And they want everything that they see.”However, not everyone thinks that advertising is a bad thing. Some people say advertising sometimes gives us useful information about different products- for example, the advantages of buying one product instead of another.
24、Also, shopping sometimes makes us feel good. When people see a famous person on TV talking about a certain kind of shoes or jacket, they like how they feel when they buy the same shoes or jacket. According to Writer Judith Williamson:The meaning in most peoples lives comes from what they use than fr
25、om what they produce in their jobs. Clothes, furniture, all the things that we buy involve decisions and the use of our own choice. Shopping is a social event.21.

29、rry White, has learned to recognize objects well enough to navigate the New York City subway system independently. Its been a long time in coming. Jerrys road to partial sight began in 1978, when doctors in New Yorks Dobelle Institute implanted 68 electrodes(电极) on the surface of a region of Jerrys
30、brain called the visual cortex-where signals from the eyes are processed. By electrically stimulating the area, doctors hoped that they could restore some of Jerrys vision. But when Jerry tried to focus on objects, he saw only flickers of light appearing like “stars,” called phosphenes. Normally, th
31、e rain does not interpret the phosphene patterns as identifiable objects.Thats where the computer comes in. Jerrys first electronics package was the size of a small refrigerator. Today, Jerrys sunglasses are outfitted with a tiny view camera that captures images that are processed by a portable comp
32、uter. The computer weighs 10 pounds and is no bigger than a dictionary. When Jerry scans an object, he sees a pattern of phosphenes. Computer algorithms(算法系统) enlarge the edges of the pattern so that it appears as an outline. The computer then signals a second microcomputer that controls stimulation electro
