Questions are based on the following passage.
About two weeks ago, the U．S．Department of Health's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ( SAMHSA., reported that abuse of painkillers has risen more than 400 percent over the last decade．According to the report pain pills are now the second-most-popular way to get high in America．Gil Kerlikowske, the national drug-policy director, called drug abuse a serious threat to public health．"These findings should serve as exclamation points to punctuate what we already know--abuse of prescription drugs is our country's fastest-growing drug problem, the source of which stays far too often in our home medicine cabinets," he said about the new report.
But beyond the policy experts, nobody seems to get how awful and scary this is．This isn't about taking one of your friend's Vicodins when your back goes out．This is about millions of young people who think that because palnkillers are prescribed, they're safe．And if they're safe, adolescent minds reason, they're safe in any quantity or combination．What that shocking 400 percent statistic doesn't begin to tell you are the rising numbers of addictions, overdoses and deaths that result from drug abuse--all of which have risen fast over the same 10 years．According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC., overdose deaths involving prescription drags increased more than 200 percent from 2001 to 2007, and the number of treatment admissions for prescription drugs increased nearly 300 percent over the same time, according to the SAMHSA．In cities, the most common cause of drug-related deaths includes prescription drugs especially heroin.
Prescription drags, like alcohol, aren't illegal-millious of them are lawfully prescribed and appropriately and gratefully used to relieve pain every year．So law enforcement can't solve this problem alone．It's going to take the wholesale retraining of the medical establishment in pain protocols．But it's also going to take a new evaluation of the role of painkillers in medical treatment．That's happening,too--the National Institute on Drug Abuse recently held a conference to address how to get less drugs into the pipeline, how to recognize substance abusers, and how to properly prescribe drugs which are going to take a level of monitoring of both doctors and their patients．Some charge that this is a violation of privacy: in Georgia, a statewide drug-monitoring program is struggling to pass with critics worried that law enforcement should not access patient information while supporters say it's the only way to cut down on doctor shopping．More than anything, though, it's going to take a rethinking of the nature of addiction, and this one might be the hardest of them all.
What does Gil Kerlikowske mean by saying "the source of which stays far too often in our home medicine cabinets" ( Line 7, Para．1 ) ?

A．The abuse of prescription drugs is easy to happen.
B．Our home medicine cabinets are not near enough.
C．We don't know much about the abuse of drugs.
D．The abuse of drugs is exaggerated in the new report.
