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. \

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

阅读下面的文言文,完成下面问题。

  江万里,字子远,都昌人。少神隽,有锋颖,连举于乡。入太学,有文声。召试馆职,累迁著作佐郎、权尚左郎官兼枢密院检详文字。知吉州,创白鹭洲书院,兼提举江西常平茶盐。召为屯田郎官,未行,迁直秘阁、江西转运判官兼权知隆兴府。创宗濂书院。

  万里器望清峻,论议风采倾动一时,帝眷注尤厚。尝丐祠【注】、省母疾,不许。属弟万顷奉母归南康,旋以母病闻,万里不俟报驰归,至祁门得讣。而议者谓万里母死,秘不奔丧,反挟妾媵自随,于是侧目万里者,相与腾谤。万里无以自解,坐是闲废者十有二年。后陆德舆尝辨其非露背辜于帝前。

  贾似道宣抚两浙,辟参谋官。及似道同知枢密院,为京湖宣抚大使,以万里带行宝章阁待制,为参谋官。似道入相,万里兼国子祭酒、侍读。度宗即位,召同知枢密院事,又兼权参知政事,迁参知政事。万里始虽俯仰容默,为似道用,然性峭直,临事不能无言。似道常恶其轻发,故每入不能久在位。似道以去要君,帝初即位,呼为师相:至涕泣拜留之。万里以身掖帝云:“自古无此君臣礼,陛下不可拜,似道不可复言去。”似道不知所为,下殿举笏谢万里曰:"微公,似道几为千古罪人。”然以此益忌之。

  帝在讲筵,每问经史疑义及古人姓名,似道不能对,万里常从旁代对。时王夫人颇知书,帝语夫人以为笑。似道闻之,积惭怒,谋逐之。

  明年,大元兵渡江,万里隐草野间,为游骑所执,大诟,欲自戕,既而脱归。先是,万里闻裏樊失守,凿池芝山后囿,肩其亭曰"止水”,人莫谕其意,及闻警,执门人陈伟器手,曰:“大势不可支,余虽不在位,当与国为存亡。”及饶州城破,军士执万顷,索金银不得,支解之。万里竟赴止水死。左右及子镐相继投沼中,积尸如叠。翼日,万里尸独浮出水上,从者草敛之。事闻,赠太傅、益国公,后加赠太师,谥文忠。  (节选自《宋史》列传第一百七十七,有删节)

B.江万里曾被小人诬陷而免官,闲居了十二年,后来由于陆德舆向皇上求情,才得以重新受到重用。

C.江万里虽然是贾似道提拔任用的官员,却并未阿附贾似道,因此深为贾似道所忌恨。
