（天津市南开中学2010届高三下学期五月模拟考试B篇）

Life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver. And he is proof.

  At just 18 years of age, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words. He has spoken to more than 2,500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence.

  "A lot of teachers say, 'Don't drink,' but I'm not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it," Nepola says. "I just say, 'Don't get in a car.' "

  One year ago, Nepola, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away. He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken.

  At Hackensack University Medical Center, his skull was opened to relieve pressure on his brain. He was diagnosed with traumatic（创伤性）brain injury and remained in a coma（昏迷）and on life support for nearly three weeks.

  At Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. physical therapist Erin Leahy initially found Nepola unable to move the right side of his body. But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building. Leahy called that an inspiration and a miracle.

  But Nepola's recovery is incomplete. Brain and muscular therapy has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with his right hand.

  In the process of recovery, Nepola has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story. Encouraged by his trauma doctor, Sanjeev Kaul, he teamed with Gonzalez and began attending assemblies in April.

  He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight. And his rehabilitation（康复）and visible trauma help him draw serious attention from students.

  Besides, "I'm not a wall," he said. "I feel like I know how to talk to people."

  Driving drunk, he tells students, is like playing Russian roulette（俄罗斯轮盘赌博）: "You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen."

  Now, his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym. Mentally, he says, "I’m a lot happier in my life."
