Gao Xiaosong, who is a famous musician, movie director and the writer of the famous song My Deskmate, has been sent to jail(监狱) and will{#blank#}1{#/blank#} there for six months for drunk driving.
“I've {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to say for myself and I'm willing to be punished(惩罚),” he said when he was standing in the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . “What I want to say is that I feel {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for what I've done. I thought alcohol(酒精)could bring me freedom but never realized drunk driving could {#blank#}5{#/blank#} away others' freedom. And now I've{#blank#}6{#/blank#} my own freedom because of drinking. I'll obey the new road safety {#blank#}7{#/blank#}and I want to be a life-long volunteer in persuading(劝说) others not to drive after drinking.”
Anyone who drives after drinking doesn't think much of human life. If Gao had cared, he would have left his car parked outside the restaurant and took a{#blank#}8{#/blank#} home, and he would have thought about a road killer he would become. It's fair to say that his behavior can not be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in modern society. Gao may not have killed anyone, but by choosing to drive a car while under theinfluence of alcohol, he and the large number of others who do the same have{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the dangerous decision that may possibly hurt other people.
