B
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 mom," 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."
61. 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.
62.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
63. 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
64. When Mary received the life-changing news, she __.
A. lost control of herself
B. began a balanced diet
C. tried to get a treatment
D. behaved in an adult way
65. 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.
C
People 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 said. "Westerners 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 believed. As 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 of. expressive faces and put them into categories:
happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how
accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye
movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and
made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye
