14．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 1995autobiography（自传），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 40years 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．"

12．Ever since we were young，we've been asked to compete，to make sure that we're the best at everything，to ensure that we ore always at the top．For most of us，it starts when we're young．We were nottaught how tocome in second，or to be happy that someone else is better than you．
Normally when we end up not winning something or coming in second，we often find fault with the person who is"better"than us．Even if they do truly deserve to win，we would make it a point to find as many faults and reasons as to why that person should hove lost to us instead．I'm sure you'd agree that sometimes we just have to accept that there's someone better than us at some things．
But even now，some of you would probably be stuck at the phrase"to be happy that someone else is better than you"．It might not make sense to you at all．How could you be happy when you didn't win？Sure，they might be better than you，but why would you be happy about it？
This is the problem with competition．It shows how self-centered we are．It shows us that in the end we only want ourselves to win and no one else．Many people would deny it，but let's be real，how many of us can truly put our hands to our hearts and say that we are truly happy that the person who was"better than us"ended up winning instead of ourselves？

3．A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man-the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts，usually beginning by working with his hands．While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker，he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort．
This attitude toward manual labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life．One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously  furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel，expensive hobbies，and college education for the children； yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself，will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward，furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery．On the contrary，the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes．A professional man may talk about washing the car，digging in his flowerbeds，painting the house．His wife may even help with these things，just as he often helps her with the dishwashing．The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living，or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education．
