"If you aren't too late,"Larry says,"you climb out onto the cold steel and try to talk to the poor soul,(2)____________________For many suicide attempts are made on the spur of the moment,and lives can be saved.But if you fail,if the person jumps into the bottomless pool,there's no describing how helpless you feel.Often,would-be jumpers are driven to despair and see no hope out of their misery.(3)____________________Following are some tricks that have worked:‘If you're going to jump,at least give me your mom's phone number so I can call and tell her.'or‘That's a nice watch.(4)____________________'Sometimes,all it takes is the voice of the human being who cares."
