题文
阅读理解。 I've written 14 movies. My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous(有魅力的) doing it. Smoking was an integral (必需的) part of many of my screenplays because I
was a heavy smoker. It was part of a bad-boy image I'd cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking,
partying, rock 'n' roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person's right. The second-hand smoke was non-existent
problem invented by professional do-gooders. I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself. I have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the
murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with
God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking. I am alive
but disabled. Much of my larynx (喉) is gone. I have some difficulty speaking; others have some
difficulty understanding me.
I haven't smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help. I
believe in prayer and exercise. I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day.
Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I've ever learned about my own
eakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy (同感) for those still addicted.
I don't think smoking is every person's right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin
(海洛因). I'm no longer such a bad boy. I go to church on Sunday. I'm desperate to see my four boys
grow up. I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words
and images.
Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can
smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the
shooting of a scene.
My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood's. My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse (彻底
清洁) me. I don't wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting
it upon millions of others. 1. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings
B. the writer's smoking experience nearly killed himself
C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children
D. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness 2. How do you think the writer has realized his mistake? A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 I've.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
