第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，共50分）

A
I was rushing around trying to get ready, and was pulling my hair back in a ponytail when I heard a honk. I knew it was Nate to pick me up. Nate and I were really close friends; we told each other everything, even our deepest secrets. I rushed to the door. Little did I know that I would come home with an entirely different outlook on life. No good-bye, or "I love you" to my mom and dad; I was too consumed with the thought of getting out of my house.
We drove to my friend's house to pick up others. Nate and I waited outside. When they finally came to the door, they waved for me to come inside. We went to Cheri's bedroom, and she pulled a bottle of whiskey from under her bed. We passed it around, and I took a drink. I started to feel the alcohol get to me as I continued to drink. I knew it was stupid, but I did it anyway.
We walked to Nate's car with the bottle in hand. All of this drinking seemed to take me away from reality and into a state of happiness, and I think that's why I continued to drink. When I got into the car with the others, Nate could smell the alcohol. I don't think he liked the idea of us drinking in his car. We ended up driving around for most of the night. The last thing I remember was going to a gas station downtown.
I hear lots of stories about what we did that night, but I can't remember any of it. What I do recall is people saying I needed to go to the hospital. I remember being frustrated because I couldn't stand the thought of that. I kept wanting to tell everyone" No," but I couldn't make myself say it. Finally Nate decided that he had no choice. I no longer could keep my eyes open, and was getting worse by the minute.
Suddenly, everything was rushing around me, and I heard people yelling and running around. It was like I was deaf and hearing for the first time. Everything was happening at once. My whole body was trembling. I've never felt so helpless. I started to cry and turned my head. I saw my dad, watching me helplessly. I could see in his eyes that he wished he could do something ... but he couldn't.
I had every nurse and doctor in my room that night. I had friends coming to see me at 3 o'clock in the morning. I was so close to death I could see it ... and that's what changed me. I didn't know it was possible to be that frightened. That night as I sat there in that hospital bed, I re-thought my life.
I lost a lot of things that night, including the respect of the people I love most. But while I lost others' respect, I gained respect for myself. The thing I am most grateful for is what I didn't lose that night – my life. I hope no one is as stupid as I was that night. Everyone deserves more than that.
