Mary responded in typical teenage fashionFrom 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 courseIn her career, Mary won many awardsOnly recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn, I dont 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 chairmanI felt there was a need for a book like this, she says.I didnt want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when were self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.But she hasnt always practiced what she teachesIn her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing newsFirst, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetesIn 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 herOnly 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-pityEverybody on earth can ask, why me? about something or other, she insistsIt doesnt do any goodNo one is immune （免疫的） to heartache, pain, and disappointmentsSometimes we can make things better by helping othersIve come to realize the importance of that as Ive grown up this second timeI want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.61Why did Mary feel regretful?AShe didnt achieve her ambition.BShe didnt take care of her mother.CShe didnt complete her high school.DShe didnt follow her mothers advice.62We can know that before 1995 Mary .Ahad two books publishedBreceived many career awardsCknew how to use a computerDsupported the JDRF by writing63Marys second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her _ .A, living with diabetesBsuccessful show businessCservice for an organizationDremembrance of her mother64When Mary received the life-changing news, she _.Alost control of herself Bbegan a balanced diet Ctried to get a treatment Dbehaved in an adult way65What can we know from the last paragraph?AMary feels pity for herself.BMary has recovered from her disease.CMary wants to help others as much as possible.DMary determines to go back to the dance floor.CPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions-and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly（均匀的） across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions, Jack saidWesterners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect （忽略） the mouth.According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believedAs a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures ofexpressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surp
