     Jack is an able (能干的) worker. He can do all the work in the factory and often helps his boss (老板),
Mr King. So his boss likes him and he gets much money. But he likes drinking and spends most money on
the drinks. When he drinks much, he can't control (控制) himself. His wife tells him to stop drinking, but
he doesn't listen to her. She has to leave him. Now he lives in a poor and old house alone.
     One Saturday evening, Jack feels very cold in his house. He can't stay there and goes into a bar. He drinks
a lot, but he doesn't have enough money with him. Of course, he can't pay for the drinks. The boss of the bar
doesn't let him out, so he begins to break the glasses and tables. A girl calls the police station and soon some
policemen get there. They have to take Jack to the station.
     "What do you bring me here for?" the angry drunkard (酒鬼) shouts.
     "We bring you here for drinking." answers a policeman.
     "That's great!" Jack says happily. "Then when shall we start?"

Jack had gone to the university to study history, but at the end of his first year, his history professor(教授) failed him in his exams, and Jack would have to leave the university. However, his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge(强烈要求) him to let Jack go on his studies the following year.
