Dear Cary,
I'm writing because I've understood you've struggled with alcoholism （酗酒）．I've been fighting mine ever since I went through 9-11．After that, I've been more or less useless professionally - I'm a lawyer - and have had to resien（辞职） from my job because I was discovered passed - out drunk in front of my puter．I've taken some medicine and it has helped somewhat．I can manage about a month without drinking, but after that I end up having a crazy stage where nothing matters except drinking．After a week or so of heavy drinking,! start having nightmares of people jumping．After that, it's a week of not being able to get out of bed．
I was supposed to travel to a conference but didn't make it because I got so drunk at the airport that I fell down on my face and spent the rest of the day in the emergency room．I have been hiding from my family since then．Fortunately they won't be expecting me to e back for a week or so．Otherwise, they would notice the bump on my forehead and two black eyes．
I don't really know what I'm asking you．Cary, I need a way out that doesn't involve causing pain to my family．I'm taking medicine, but' I still have these attacks every few months．If there's alcohol in the house, I can't stay away from it．It seems that this will never end．I'm afraid of what will happen if something bad happens, like a family member dying, or getting fired again．
Thanks for reading．
Yours T

【小题2】B 细节题。根据第三段第一行I don't really know what I'm asking you．Cary, I need a way out that doesn't involve causing pain to my family说明作者写信是为了求助。故B正确。
【小题3】C 细节题。根据第三段第一行I need a way out that doesn't involve causing pain to my family说明他不想给家人带来痛苦，故C正确。
【小题4】A 推理题。根据文章第一段说明Cary,以前也是一个酗酒的人，也许现在戒掉了酒。作者就写信给他向他求教戒酒的方法，故A正确。
