新視野大學(xué)英語(yǔ)視聽說(shuō)教程第三冊(cè) Unit 6 MODEL2 This beauty battled the bottle.
Nora: Hey Chris. How is it going?
Chris: Not too bad. Sit down. Sit down. Hey, who was that food-looking girl you were talking to near the auditorium?
Nora: “The Drunken Doctor”, Dr Doyle, who gave dynamite Ladies Only lecture.
Chris: No, no. I mean the blonds, healthy-looking, the twenty-something girl in blue.
Nora: Yeah, exactly. She’s a doctor, but she used to be a drunk. Now she tells women the dangers of drinking.
Chris: I can’t imagine some one as pretty as she is to be a drunk. And a doctor, too!
Nora: She says there are alcoholics all over the world, 16 million plus just in the U.S.
Chris: I’m surprised that there are so many people who lack the will-power to stop.
Nora: It’s a disease that strikes young and old, rich and poor, and al walks of life.
Chris: Drunks are often dirty old men begging for money. How did Dr. Doyle get hooked?
Nora: She was an intern in a big hospital: long hours, little sleep, and constant stress.
Chris: I suppose at first alcohol helped her to relax, but she realized.
Nora: First it was a drink at night, then two, then a bottle, then drinks to wake up.
Chris: That’s a sad story.
Nora: More inspiring than sad. She got help and stopped. Now she helps others. Isn’t that wonderful?
