Some of them had 16      with alcohol or drugs while others only had bad 17     .  One woman worked for almost 10 years for a small company,and 18      she lost her job. She looked for a 19      job,but couldn’t find one,for she was too 20     . She could do nothing but sell her furniture—sofas,chairs,and tables 21      she could pay for her food.
