湖北省2014高考英语 专项训练 阅读理解39.doc
2014高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项 50-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 weakness; 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
