阅读理解。     Jodie Foster was born on Nobember 19,1962,in Los Angeles, Carlif., US. She is an American film
actress who began her career as a mature(成熟的) child actress.
     Jodie began her performing career as a very young child in television, appearing first in commercials

the same name. She appeared in a number of Disney films, beginning with Napoleon and Samantha (1972).
     Director Martin Scorsese cast Jodie in a bit part in Alice Doesn"t live Here Anymore (1974) before

Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
     His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:" My own happiness in
the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to
walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary."
     This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success,

     When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951,her mother told her,"Be sure and take a t
yping 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 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." 1.Why did Mary feel regretful? _____

A.She didn"t achieve her ambition.
B.She didn"t take care of her mother.
