When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. “From that moment on, the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mum,” I don't know how to use a computer,” she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says.” I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
Why did Mary feel regretful?
A. She didn’t achieve her ambition. B. She didn’t take care of her mother.
C. She didn’t complete her high school. D. She didn’t follow her mother’s advice.
We can know that before 1995 Mary .
A. had two books published B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer D. supported the JDRF by writing
Mary’s second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her _______.
A. living with diabetes B. successful show business
C. service for an organization D. remembrance of her mother
When Mary received the life-changing news, she _______.
A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet
C. had to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way
What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Mary feels pity for herself. B. Mary has recovered from her disease.
C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible. D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

Jessie's Glove
I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. 21 the topics we discuss is the retention (保持)of quality employees -- a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale (薪水標(biāo)準(zhǔn))in the service industry. During these discussions, I asked the participants, "What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?" Some time back a new 22 took the question and 23 said, "It was a $19 baseball glove."
Cynthia told the group that she 24 took a Circle K clerk job as an interim (過渡時期)position 25 she looked for something 26 .On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that 27 a single mother, money was very 28 , and her first check would 29 go for paying 30 . Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check..
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that 31 as an office. Cynthia 32 if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.
Patricia handed her a box. "I overheard you talking to your son 33 ," she said, "and I know that it is hard to 34 things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how 35 he is, even though you have to pay bills 36 you can buy gloves. You know we can't pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we 37 care, and I want you to know you are important to 38 ."
The thoughtfulness, sympathy and 39 of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer 40 than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.

Flowers only bloom(開花) when they are planted in the right soil. That is also true for me.
I first moved to Foxboro, Massachusetts, as a single mother with my baby daughter, Darcy. I was drawn to its New England beauty, friendly people and rich history. It happened that there were a lot of forsythia(連翹) bushes around the house in which I lived just like my childhood home. I joined St. Mark’s Episcopal Church where I taught the Sunday school. At church, I met my second husband, Dean. For more than 25 years, I bloomed in Foxboro, and I had another two children.
Then, when Darcy was a few years out of college, she moved to Alameda, California, to be near friends. I missed her badly. A year later my beloved husband Dean had deadly cancer. He only made it eight months. My heart was broken. Later I moved to Alameda with my children. It was a beautiful Victorian island, and I was grateful to spend more time with Darcy. I even attended a church and made a few friends there. Still, I couldn’t help but miss Foxboro. It had everything and everyone I loved.
One spring day, when I was walking by a school, something yellow caught my eyes. Forsythia bushes! They made me homesick and I kept back my tears. “I miss you, Foxboro,” I whispered. Then I went into a shop and looked at some ceramic(陶瓷的) pots lined up on a shelf. A large white one seemed to catch my attention. “That’ll be perfect in my living room,” I thought.
I turned it over to look at the price. Instead I found these words: “New England Pottery, Foxboro, Massachusetts.” A piece of artwork, from my second hometown, was right here. It was able to spread across the country and so were forsythia bushes. I took it as a sign that I can bloom, right where I am.
【小題1】From the text we learn that the author ____.
A.gave birth to three children in Foxboro |
B.planted forsythia bushes around her house |
C.got to know her second husband at church |
D.worked as a middle school teacher in Foxboro |
A.have more time together with Darcy |
B.forget the sorrow at her husband’s death |
C.visit her children at Alameda College frequently |
D.enjoy the beautiful scenery on the Victorian island |
A.wanted to buy a ceramic pot to put them in |
B.thought of her life in Foxboro |
C.felt they would look great in her living room |
D.believed they were real art work |
A.Because she wanted to show she likes flowers. |
B.Because she can live in any place that is right like flowers. |
C.Because she moved across the country just like flowers. |
D.Because girls are like flowers that are blooming. |
