song My Deskmate, has been sent to jail (监狱) and will 1______ there for six months for
drunk driving.
"I've 2______ to say for myself and I'm willing to be punished (惩罚)," he said when he
was standing in the 3______."What I want to say is that I feel 4______ for what I've done.
I thought alcohol (酒精)could bring me freedom but never realized drunk driving could 5______
away others' freedom. And now I've 6______ my own freedom because of drinking. I'll obey
the new road safety 7______ and I want to be a life-long volunteer in persuading (劝说) others
not to drive after drinking."

would have left his car parked outside the restaurant and took a 8______ home, and he would have
thought about a road killer he would become. It's fair to say that his behavior can not be 9______
in modern society. Gao may not have killed anyone, but by choosing to drive a car while under the
influence of alcohol, he and the large number of others who do the same have 10______ the dangerous
decision that may possibly hurt other people.
