         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 awardwinning
    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 selfcontrolled 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 lifechanging 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 threepackaday
    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 selfpity. "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."

  • 健康环保类阅读

健康环保累阅读概念:

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、 说明文、议论文和各种应用文。


健康环保类文章阅读技巧:

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考,理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文,从结构上看大致可分为三个部分:
       第一部分一般是文章的首段,主要用来提出文章的主题,即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;
       第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;
       第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时,而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性,也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看,科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节,很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事,需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少,因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难,只要多加训练,就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing):
      阅完材料后,将所阅材料浓缩,摘要,做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization):
      阅读后根据阅读内容,识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如:时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
