El consumo de alcohol es un fenómeno socialmente aceptado que de hecho forma parte desde la antigüedad de una gran cantidad de culturas. Sin embargo, muchas personas realizan un consumo de alcohol excesivo y muy prolongado a lo largo del tiempo y terminan adquiriendo dependencia a esta sustancia: estamos hablando de dependencia al alcohol o alcoholismo.
Esta situación tiene graves repercusiones para el sujeto, pudiendo generar graves problemas de salud o incluso llevar a la muerte. Se trata de algo dramático que muchas familias observan en uno de sus miembros, no sabiendo cómo actuar. ¿Cómo ayudar a un alcohólico? En este artículo vamos a discutir una serie de pautas generales que familiares y amigos pueden encontrar relevantes y útiles de cara a abordar el tema.

Rememorando conceptos: ¿qué es el alcoholismo?
Se considera alcoholismo la adicción al alcohol, es decir, la adquisición de dependencia tanto física como psicológica al consumo de bebidas espirituosas que se genera debido a la adquisición de tolerancia hacia su consumo. El organismo necesita mayores cantidades de sustancia para notar los mismos efectos, a la vez que su ausencia genera potentes síntomas propias de un síndrome de abstinencia, como ahora disforia, agitación, convulsiones y otros tipos de alteración. Se consume de tal manera que se invierte una gran cantidad de tiempo en conseguir alcohol o se descuidan o deterioran otras actividades o ámbitos vitales relevantes.
Estamos ante una situación en el que el sujeto pierde el control ante el consumo, siendo este mucho mayor de lo que se pretendería y llevándose a cabo a pesar del conocimiento de posibles consecuencias aversivas tanto para él como para su entorno. Sin embargo es frecuente que exista un deseo de cesar el consumo y pueden haberse hecho uno o varios intentos al respecto (infructuosos). A pesar de ello, suelen negar la existencia de una dependencia.
El consumo descontrolado y frecuente de alcohol puede acarrear consecuencias dramáticas, pudiendo generar cirrosis hepática, hígado graso o incluso disfunciones renales. Los daños sobre estos órganos pueden ser irreversibles y llevar a la necesidad de un transplante o incluso a la muerte por la destrucción de dichos tejidos. El alcohólico se intoxica con frecuencia, siendo habitual la presencia de lagunas y pérdidas de consciencia. En algunos casos el sujeto puede llegar al coma etílico o incluso a la muerte por paro cardiorespiratorio.
El comportamiento también se altera, pudiendo ir desde la agresividad hasta la pasividad extrema, y no es poco habitual que se realicen conductas de riesgo en estado de ebriedad. Socialmente pueden sufrir el abandono de su entorno o generar gran sufrimiento a aquellos que les rodean.

Mrs Hall visitors attempts to remain in the dark because light represents what A. goodness B. knowledge C. money D. purity
Answer:
B. knowledge
Explanation:
To remain in the dark means to be excluded from full knowledge or disclosure (of something). To remain in the light will, therefore, mean to be in full knowledge about something. Ignorance is darkness. Knowledge is light. Light and darkness are absolute opposites. The presence of light always dispels darkness. Therefore, they cannot dwell together. In the same way, you cannot be aware or knowledgeable about something and at the same time be ignorant of it.

LITERARY TEXT
“The Leak,” Jacques Futrelle
Read this passage from “The Leak” by Jacques Futrelle. Then, answer the question(s).
(1) The financier drew a long breath. “I have been informed that you were a remarkable man,” he said at last slowly. “I believe it. Quinton Frazier, the banker who gave me the letter of introduction to you, told me how you once solved a remarkable mystery in which—”
(2) “Yes, yes,” interrupted the scientist shortly, “the Ralston Bank burglary—I remember.”
(3) “So I came to you to enlist your aid in something which is more inexplicable than that.... Briefly, there is a leak in my office. My plans become known to others almost by the time I have perfected them. My plans are large; I have millions at stake; and the greatest secrecy is absolutely essential. For years I have been able to preserve this secrecy; but half a dozen times in the last eight weeks my plans have become known, and I have been caught. Unless you know the Street, you can’t imagine what a tremendous disadvantage it is to have someone know your next move to the minutest detail and, knowing it, defeat you at every turn.”
(4) “No, I don’t know your world of finance, Mr. Grayson,” remarked The Thinking Machine. “Give me an instance.”
(5) “Well, take this last case,” said the financier earnestly. “Briefly, without technicalities, I had planned to unload the securities of the P., Q. & X. Railway, protecting myself through brokers, and force the outstanding stock down to a price where other brokers, acting for me, could buy far below the actual value. In this way I intended to get complete control of the stock. But my plans became known, and when I began to unload everything was snapped up by the opposition, with the result that instead of gaining control of the road I lost heavily. This same thing has happened, with variations, half a dozen times.”
(6) “I presume that is strictly honest?” inquired the scientist mildly.
(7) “Honest?” replied Grayson. “Certainly—of course.”
10. In the third paragraph, when Grayson refers to “the Street,” to what is he referring?
a.
New York’s Fifth Avenue, the fashionable street on which Grayson lives
b.
New York’s Wall Street, the center of U.S. business investment
c.
any rough urban area that has a great deal of poverty and crime
d.
the companies that make up the railway industry
Answer:
c. any rough urban area that has a great deal of poverty and crime
Explanation:
"The Street" as used in this context is usually used to describe a poor ghetto-like area where all manner of crime are carried out. It is regarded as a breeding place for criminals. From the above excerpt, we can gather that professional criminals who are never easily caught and who easily get information at their fingertips are found in the Street.
"The Leak" is a detective tale by Jacques Futrelle. His lead investigator is Professor Augustus S.F.X. Van Dusen who is known as The Thinking Machine. Professor Dusen comes in to assist a businessman who is suffering the risk of his high-valued deals because of the presence of a spy in his office. His secrets seem to be exposed to the unknown spy thereby making him vulnerable.
Jacques Futrelle was an American who was very known for journalism and mystery writing. Also, he is well-known for writing detective stories. Futrelle passed away during the sinking of the RMS Titanic.
The context clues of Grayson referring to “the Street simply means C. An urban area that has a great deal of poverty and crime.

What do you notice about this structure?
A. Alternating lines are about the same length and all end with a dash.
B. Each line begins the same way and has the same number of words.
C. The lines don’t have an organized structure.
The correct answer is A. Alternating lines are about the same length and all end with a dash.
Explanation:
In most poems, lines follow a specific structure based on the number of syllables/words and other features such as rhyme or use of punctuation. In the case of the poem presented, there is a fixed structure because at the end of all the lines there is a dash (-) which might be used to replace a punctuation mark such as a comma and to create a pause between verses. Besides this, the length of verses 1 and 3 are similar, as well as the length between verses 2 and 4, which means alternating lines have a similar length based on the number of words and length of these. Thus, the option that best describes the structure is A.
Answer:
A) Altering lines are about the same length and all end with a dash
