Номер 3, страница 8, часть 1 - гдз по английскому языку 9 класс учебник Демченко, Юхнель

3. a. Read the e-mails Jane and Mary were exchanging. Answer the questions: What can be addictive? What is physical addiction? What is psychological addiction?

1. Mary, I am afraid what you’ve said might be true. What shall I do?

2. Jane, You cannot really help someone who has an addiction. That person has to help himself. All you can do is to show that you care, tell those adults you trust about the problem, and be ready to praise every small step taken to stop the addiction.

3. Mary, I decided to talk to my parents first, but I want to know more about the problem before I do it.

4. You are right, Jane but don’t wait too long as the longer you wait, the more difficult it may be to sort it out. I attached the information you might find useful.

Types of addiction

There are two types of addiction.

1. Physical addiction is when a person’s body becomes dependent on something and wants more and more of whatever it is to be able to feel OK. Trying to give up can make that person suffer withdrawal symptoms¹ which can last for quite a long time, but slowly the body gets used to doing without.

These withdrawal symptoms can feel like a really bad flu that they want to go back to whatever they were taking to feel OK again. It is hard to give up. It is much easier not to start.

2. Psychological addiction is when someone wants something which will change their mood or feelings. They may not get physical withdrawal symptoms, but they may feel lonely, depressed or anxious if they can’t get the thing that they desire.

What can be addictive?

People can become addicted to a wide range of things: drugs – legal and illegal; tobacco;

inhalants, like sniffing glue or petrol. But people can also become addicted to behaviours, which take over their lives. Among others, teenagers often become gamers and spend too much time at their computers, video games, mobiles and SMS, and chatting on the internet. All these problems look less dangerous than drug addiction, but they are also very harmful.

Keep yourself safe by:

• asking smokers no to smoke near you as passive smoking is also dangerous

• avoiding being around someone who is addicted to alcohol or drugs

• telling someone if you feel unsafe

• never trying whatever drug they are using.

• not making the mistake of thinking what that person is doing must be cool because they are older than you would use to talk to the person

b. Work in pairs. Read the e-mails again and decide what information you would use to talk to someone who you think might be addicted.

3. a. Прочитайте электронные письма, которыми обменивались Джейн и Мэри. Ответьте на вопросы: Что может вызывать зависимость? Что такое физическая зависимость? Что такое психологическая зависимость?

Перевод:

Что может вызывать зависимость?

Люди могут стать зависимыми от широкого круга вещей: наркотиков – легальных и нелегальных; табака; ингалянтов, таких как вдыхание клея или бензина. Люди также могут стать зависимыми от определённого поведения, например, стать геймерами, проводить слишком много времени за компьютерами, в видеоиграх, с мобильными телефонами и СМС, а также общаясь в интернете.

Что такое физическая зависимость?

Физическая зависимость – это когда тело человека становится зависимым от чего-либо и хочет всё больше и больше этого, чтобы чувствовать себя нормально. Попытка отказаться может вызвать симптомы отмены, которые могут ощущаться как очень сильный грипп.

Что такое психологическая зависимость?

Психологическая зависимость – это когда кто-то хочет чего-то, что изменит его настроение или чувства. Они могут чувствовать себя одинокими, подавленными или тревожными, если не могут получить желаемое, но у них может не быть физических симптомов отмены.
