10．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 1995autobiography，After All，her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes （糖尿�。瓵ll 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 40years 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．"
81．According to the passage，why did Mary Moore feel regretful？
（no more than 8words） （2marks）Because she ignored her mom
82．What is Mary's second book Growing Up Again mainly about？
（no more than 7words） （2marks）It's mainly about her living with diabetes
83．What did she decide to do when she realized she had to grow up again？
（no more than 8words） （3marks）She decided to take control of her diabetes
84．What can we know according to the last paragraph？（no more than 10words）（3marks）Mary wanted to help others as much as possible．

分析 本文講述的是Mary Moore 的職業(yè)生涯及她的抗病歷程．Mary Moore在患有糖尿病的情況下，還堅持寫書--她與糖尿病的抗病歷程．然后把稿酬都捐獻(xiàn)給了糖尿病研究機(jī)構(gòu)．盡管她的疾病已經(jīng)嚴(yán)重影響到了她的健康，但是她仍然致力于幫助別人．

解答 81．Because she ignored her mom．/Because she didn't follow her mother's advice．/Because she didn't take the typing course． 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段的"Only recently，when she began to write Growing Up Again，did she regret ignoring her morn，"I don't know how to use a computer，"she admits．"可知，她為沒有接受媽媽的建議而后悔．
82．It's mainly about her living with diabetes．/It's mainly about her suffering from diabetes． 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段的"her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes （糖尿�。�"
83．She decided to take control of her diabetes．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第四段的"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）．
84．Mary wanted to help others as much as possible．推理判斷題．通過她的話語"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．"，可推斷出她想盡她所能去幫助別人

點評 本文是人物故事類的閱讀表達(dá)，要求學(xué)生在閱讀理解的基礎(chǔ)上，根據(jù)短文后的題目，在文中找到相關(guān)的內(nèi)容，并用簡潔、準(zhǔn)確的句子，將理解的內(nèi)容，書面表達(dá)出來．做題時，注意表達(dá)的內(nèi)容不要超出規(guī)定的字?jǐn)?shù)．

8．LOS ANGELES，F(xiàn)eb 12-Whitney Houston，whose soaring voice lifted her to the top of the pop music world but whose personal decline was fueled by years of drug use，died on Saturday afternoon in a Beverly Hills hotel room．She was 48．
The pop superstar died on the eve of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles at the same hotel where her mentor，record mogul Clive Davis，was holding an annual pre-event party featuring scores of music industry celebrities（名人）．
A dramatic scene unfolded at the Beverly Hilton hotel as guests arriving for the party expressed shock at her death，while reporters swarmed the hotel，fans gathered outside to light candles in her memory and helicopters hovered overhead．
Beverly Hills police said they were called to the Beverly Hilton at around 3：43 p．m．PST，and fire department personnel who were already at the location responded immediately．Houston was in her fourth-floor room but was unresponsive to CPR，and she was pronounced dead at 3：55 p．m．
"She has been positively identified by friends and family （who） were with her at the hotel，and next of kin have already been notified，"Lieutenant Mark Rosen told reporters．Police said there were no obvious signs of criminal intent．
Los Angeles County coroners removed Houston's body from the hotel after midnight through a backdoor to avoid the crush of media set up to cover her shocking death．
Typically，coroners conduct an autopsy within a day or two，at which point they might release some preliminary information about the death．If drugs or alcohol are involved，however，an official cause of death would not be released until after toxicology（毒理學(xué)） tests，which could take six to eight weeks．
Tributes poured in from around the world for a singer whose remarkable vocal power and range produced some of the most memorable music of her generation，including her signature hit，"I Will Always Love You．"
"I don't have to mask my emotion in front of a room full of so many dear friends，"Davis told a somber crowd at his gala dinner and party just hours after Houston's death．"I am personally devastated by the loss of someone who has meant so much to me for so many years．"
Neil Portnow，president of the Recording Academy，which runs the Grammys，told the audience at Davis's party that Jennifer Hudson would sing a tribute to Houston at Sunday night's Grammy Awards．"We will do something appropriate tomorrow，and nothing could be more appropriate than having Jennifer Hudson sing on stage for Whitney，"Portnow said．"In our community，we celebrate things…let's celebrate Whitney Houston．"

    B．Whitney Houston's profession was affected by drug use
