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 morn," 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 u p ---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 survey by an international temporary service agency found that U．S．managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour．In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times． And, what's more, it ma
y push them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues．Why? It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.
Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive． In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.
Research done by psychologist Dr．Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia
showed that humour helps us think．When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed． According to Dr．Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.
If humour is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace．However, it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.

完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Childhood curiosity（好奇） can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I often took him to the 36 . He loved to read and often needed to 37 the books he’d read in order to borrow more books. One unintended 38 of his nonstop reading habits was that he even 39 at the dinner table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to 40 him that, on certain social 41 , reading while dining with others was not a good thing.
Every summer the teachers at his school 42 give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so 43 , and he always wanted to win. And he often 44 . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so 45 . He didn’t just want to learn about 46 things. He wanted to learn about everything.
We helped 47 his curiosity in every way. 48 an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we’d turn to the 49 , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if you have a question, the 50 exists somewhere. All you have to do is 51 it.
Bill remains as much of a 52 today as when he was a child, and he seems to 53 everything he reads. He’s often 54 to share what he’s learned with the next person he meets. He 55 reads at the dinner table, though — which is a good thing because the books he’s attracted to now are increasingly unappetizing (引不起食欲的): The Eradication of Infectious Diseases, Mosquitoes, Malaria & Man, and Rats, Lice, and History.
