Finally, though, things got out of control. “I couldn't go a day without taking something，” she recalls, “and after a while, the pills upset my stomach；it hurt all the time, and I hardly ate. Finally, I couldn't take it any more. I went to my parents and told them I needed help.”

　　Amanda entered a treatment program and has been calm since her release last January. “Detox(戒瘾)was the worst four days of my entire life，”she says.“I was throwing up all the food and had the shakes.”

　　She doesn't care about drugs. “I'm so hurt from this，” says Amanda，who has uleers(溃疡)and damaged kidneys from the drugs and alcohol. “I have to struggle daily to stay calm. But in some ways，I feel lucky I went through it, and I'm out of it now.” Amanda wrote a song called “Goodnight to the Moonlight”. Amanda says，“It's about how it feels to be taking drugs and alcohol, how it hurts, how it makes you feel like you're losing yourself.”

　　1. What is the purpose of writing the passage?

　　A. To tell us that parents have a great influence on their children.

　　B. To warn us that drugs are a danger to our health and mind.

　　C. To tell us once you pick up bad habits，it is hard to get rid of.

　　D. To tell us that as long as you are determined，you will overcome any difficulty.
