| Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets with heads sadly bowed as people pass them by in Cambridge's market center．Some ask people passing by for change and some just sit and wait to be given money．A few use aggressive behavior to earn money． To solve the problem of aggressive begging,an "alternative giving" plan has been suggested．Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station．It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless causes． Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars' alcohol and drug problems．But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality( 犯罪) to feed their addictions．The homeless charity "Crisis" said the success of any plan will depend on its style．They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy instead of hardness．Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get eough money from the boxes for their showers,food,and clothes． Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries．Governments must play a big role in solving this problem．Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option．This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist．The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous,but as people who need understanding and help． | ||||||||||

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D选项中，选出最佳选项。
I’ve written 14 movies. My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous 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. 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 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

A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays.
