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’ 11 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. \

A. had two books published

B. received many career awards

C. knew how to use a computer

D. supported the JDRF by writing

史可法的扬州

肖复兴

扬州，一直是我向往的地方。40多年前，我读到清人全祖望那篇著名的《梅花岭记》，看到他记述的史可法壮烈殉国的场面：大兵如林而至之际，忠烈乃瞠目曰：“我史阁部也！”劝之降，忠烈大骂而死。死前，他留下遗言：“我死当葬梅花岭下。”少年的心，被一腔壮怀激烈所燃烧。扬州，在我的心里，是史可法的扬州，是一地梅花怒放的扬州。

真的来到扬州，已经是十多年之后上个世纪的70年代末。那时的扬州，没有如今那样多的高楼大厦，史可法墓前的护城河那样的清澈，河边的杨柳在夏日里浓荫四溢，为史可法祠堂遮挡着骄阳的炙烤，祠堂前的小路，水洗过一样干净而幽静。

只可惜，我来的季节不对，梅岭没有一朵梅花。

第二次来到扬州，是20年过后，上个世纪90年代末了。那是一次会议结束之后游览瘦西湖和个园，在参观个园的时候，我独自一人悄悄地溜了出来。记忆中史可法墓应该离个园不远，果然，往北一走，很快就到了护城河边，依然是杨柳依依，依然是小路幽幽，更奇特的是，祠堂里，梅岭下，依然只有我一个人。这样更好，可以独自一人和忠烈喁喁独语。和瘦西湖的游人若织相比，这里的空旷和幽静，也许正适合史可法。

还是没看得到梅岭的梅花，不过，没关系，好的风景，杰出的人物，遥远的历史，永远都在想象之中。

200 9年的初春，我第三次来到了扬州。真的是和史可法和扬州有缘，来扬州前不久，在国家大剧院看过昆曲《桃花扇》，那里面有史可法率兵于梅花岭下“誓师”一段——史阁部言道：众位请起，听俺号令，你们三千人马，一千迎敌，一千内守，一千外巡。上阵不利，守城；守城不利，巷战；巷战不利，短接；短接不利，自尽。面对清兵的入侵史可法表现出的民族气节，让今人叹为观止，甚至汗颜。是他让扬州这座城市充满血性，荡漾着历史的波纹涟漪。

我一直以为，扬州区别于一般的南方城市，区别于那种小桥流水的婀娜多姿。由于地理的关系，它地处江苏的北大门，照史可法说是“江南北门的锁钥”。所以，扬州不仅具有江南一般小城女性的妩媚，同时具有江南一般小城没有的男性的雄伟。无疑，史可法为扬州注入了这样雄性的激素，壮烈的舍生取义，惨烈的扬州十日，让这座城市气吞吴越，拒绝后庭花和脂粉气，让扬州不仅有精致的扬州炒饭、扬州灌汤包子和扬州八怪，而且有了遥想当年铁马秋风把栏杆拍遍的想象空间，有了可以反复吟唱的英雄诗篇的清澈韵脚。

没错，史可法让扬州不仅是一幅画，而且是一首诗。

这次来因有朋友的陪伴和解说，看得更明白一些。享堂前的一副清人的抱柱联：数点梅花亡国泪，二分明月故臣心。古风盈袖，很是沉郁。梅花仙馆外另一副今人的抱柱联：万年青史可法，三分明月长存。嵌入史可法的名字，互为镜像，做今古的借鉴，令人遐思。享堂里有史可法的塑像，享堂后是史可法墓。墓前有石碑和牌坊，墓顶有草覆盖，被人们称之为“忠臣草”。

享堂西侧有晴雪轩，里面藏有史可法的遗墨。史可法的书法是真正的书法，草书行书都有，气遏行云，韵击流水。他的遗书最是让我心动，他的第三封遗书，仅仅三句：“可法死矣！前与夫人有定约，当于泉下相候也！四月十九日，可法手书。”可以说是史可法短促一生中最精彩的绝句。墨迹点点，也是血迹斑斑，几百年来依然色泽如润，气韵如生，鲜活如昨。6天后，这一年，即1645年4月25日，史可法殉国。次年清明前一日，他的副将，也是他的义子史德威，在他誓师和血战的梅花岭下，为他筑墓立碑。但是，那只是史可法的衣冠冢。

走出晴雪轩，来到梅岭下，春梅未开，冬梅正残，断红点点，飘落枝头，有一种哀婉的气氛，袭上心头。好在祠堂东侧桂花厅前，有紫藤和木香各一架，过些日子就会次第开花，一紫一黄，分外好看。到了秋天，祠堂大门前那两株古银杏树金黄色的落叶，会落满一地，落满祠堂的瓦顶，更是壮观。如果说梅花是史可法的灵魂，那满祠堂种植的紫藤、木香、银杏、桂花、芍药、葱兰，就都是扬州人的怀念和心情。

在扬州，还留下了这样特殊而别具情感的地名：史可法路、螺丝及顶街（摞尸及顶的谐音，当年史可法抗敌，巷战血拼时尸体一个摞一个到城墙顶），以及史可法曾经居住过的辕门桥。扬州人把对史可法的纪念渗透进他们的生活，刻印在他们走的路上和日子里，那是扬州人在心底里为史可法吟唱的安魂曲。

扬州，不管到什么时候，真的都是史可法的扬州。
