A serious problem with some drugs is addiction, or drug dependence. That is, people come to depend on the regular consumption of a drug in order to make it through the day. When people think of drug addiction, they are likely to think of addicts huddled in slum doorways, the dregs of society who seldom venture into daylight- -unless it is to rob someone. They don't associate addiction with good," middle- class neighborhoods and solid citizens. But let's look at drug addiction a little more closely. Although most people may think of heroin as the prime example of an addictive drug, I suggest that nicotine is the better case to consider. I remember a next-door neighbor who stood in his backyard, a lit cigarette in his hand, and told me about the operation in which one of his lungs was removed.

C. Decide which pattern of organization is used in each paragraph in questions 17-20.20. Ethnic groups exist because of their shared social experiences over time. To illustrate, during the first several decades of the twentieth century, hundreds of thousands of Italians immigrated to New York City through Ellis Island. Coming, as they did, from all over Italy, they had identified themselves before leaving Italy with their town, village, or city, and with their extended family networks. Upon arrival in the new world, however, they shared a number of common experiences, including living in the lower east side of Manhattan, reading ltalian-language newspapers, competing with other groups for jobs and resources, and buying ricotta cheese by the pound rather than in little plastic containers. These shared experiences over time forged a new ethnic identity as Italian-Americans, an identity which to some degree still exists today.______
