Module 2 No Drugs My name is Adam Rouse. I'm 19 years old and I used to be a drug addict. I first started using drugs when I was 15. I bought cannabis from a man in the street. I continued to buy cannabis from the same man for about six months. One day, he offered me some crack cocaine. Cocaine is a powerfully addictive drug. Some drug users inject cocaine, others smoke it. Both ways are dangerous. Users who inject the drug are also in more danger if they share needles with other users. Crack cocaine is the most addictive form of cocaine. Users become addicted to crack cocaine much more easily if they smoke it. Smoking allows cocaine to reach the brain very quickly. When I went back to the man again, I wanted more crack cocaine. But he asked me for a lot of money. I didn't have enough money so he didn't give me any drugs. I was in terrible pain. The next day, I broke into a house and stole a television and a video recorder. I took them to the drug dealer. He told me to take them to a shop in a nearby street. The man in the shop gave me some money. I took the money to the drug dealer and he gave me some more crack cocaine. Using cocaine increases the user's heart rate and blood pressure. As a result, cocaine users sometimes have heart attacks. Smoking crack cocaine also causes anti-social behaviour. By this time, I was addicted to crack cocaine. If I didn't have any drugs, I was in terrible pain. And I had to steal something every day to pay for the drugs. One day, the police took me to the police station. The next day, a doctor came to see me. He told me that I could die if I didn't stop taking crack cocaine, so I took his advice and stopped immediately. Now I work in a centre for drug addicts, helping others to stop taking drugs. 文章1 我的叫亚当.罗斯19岁。我过去曾是一个吸毒上瘾者。十五岁时我开始尝试毒品。我从街上一个男人那里手中买了大麻。大概有六个月我一直从这个人手中买大麻。一天，他给我了一些强效纯可卡因。 文章2 可卡因是一种极其容易让人上瘾的毒品。有些吸毒者注射可卡因，有些人吸食可卡因。两种方式都是很危险的。注射毒品的人如果和其他人共用注射针的话，就更危险了。 1. 强效纯可卡因是可卡因中最容易上瘾的一种。吸毒者抽强效纯可卡因的话，更容易对它上瘾。吸入的方式可以让把可卡因很快进入大脑。 2. 当我再回到那个男人那儿的时候，我向他要更多的强效纯可卡因。但他向我要很多的钱。我的钱不够，所以他就不给我毒品了。我痛苦得要命。 3．第二天我闯进一户人家，偷了一台电视机和一台录像机。我把它们带给那个贩毒的人。他让我把这些东西送到附近一条街的一家商店。店里的人给了我一些钱。我把钱给了贩毒者，他又给了我一些强效纯可卡因。 4．使用可卡因能够加快心脏速率、增高血压。所以可卡因吸毒者常患心脏病。吸食强效纯可卡因也会引起反社会的行为。 5．到此时我已经对强效纯可卡因上了瘾。要是我不使用，就会难受极了。我不得不每天行窃以购买毒品。终于有一天我被带到了警察局。 6．第二天，一位医生来看我。他告诉我要是不停止吸食强效纯可卡因我就可能会死去，我听取了医生的劝告，立刻停了。现在我在一个戒毒中心工作，帮助其他人戒毒。 |
