语 篇 提 能 阅读理解 Craig Beck was well­regarded as a director of several companies. He seemed to be a highly successful man, though he had a habit of drinking two bottles of wine a night. For 20 years he struggled to control his drinking because he refused to describe himself as an alcoholic all the time. As a matter of fact, it was damaging his health, wealth and relationships (人际关 系) seriously during these years. He tried a lot of ways to cut it down and even ban himself from drinking. However, his attempts failed one after one. Slowly he discovered the truth about alcohol addiction. All the lies he had previously believed started to fall apart. For the first time he noticed that he didnt want to drink anymore. After he stopped drinking himself, he found lots of friends were interested to know how he achieved it. As he helped more and more people stop drinking too much, he began to be regarded as “The Stop Drinking Expert”. Then Craig Beck published books about how to stop drinking, which have been translated into many different languages and continue to be among the best­selling books around the world. Craig Beck proudly shows people that this is not a case of having to force himself not to drink. There is no willpower required by his stop drinking system and people simply find that they no longer want to drink anymore. A lot of people who read his books at first think the news is too good to be true, but they find that the old saying of “No pains, no gains” does not apply here. This is why his method is regarded by thousands to be the best treatment for stopping drinking in the world. 语篇解读　 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Craig Beck 戒酒的故事。 1．
