(   )1. My friend Jenny always takes a walkman with her and listen to loud music. I think it may hurt her ears. But she doesn’t seem to care.

(   )2. Sam saw some bird eggs under a tree when we had a trip in the forest. He wanted to take them home. I stopped him. He’s angry with me.

(   )3. Jack let me play with his favorite toy car. I make it go too fast and it crashed.

(   )4. All my friends have many new clothes. They wear clothes in different style every day. But my pa-

rents can’t afford it. I think it’s a

shame.

(   )5. My close friend always wants me to give him the answers in exams. I do that. But I’m afraid I might be caught. If I don’t do that, he might not be my friend any more.

A. Try to talk to him, tell him it’s wrong for you two to do that. Then try to help him with his lessons in your spare time. If he can’t accept it, let it be. Maybe he’s not such a good friend.

B. You shouldn’t regret. The beauty of one’s looking or appearance doesn’t stand for everything. You are young and still depend on your parents. The most important thing is to study hard and you are sure to have a good future.

C. Let her know being grown up isn’t so bad. We can have our own idea; do everything in our own ways.

D. I used to have the same problem. You can try my ideas, they really work. First, talk about the things you like best and can do best. Then try to make friends you’re your neighbors.

E. You can get some examples from newspapers, magazines or TV shows, let her know it’s really bad.

F. Tell him that he has done something good to animals. If he takes the egg shame, how will their mother feel when she can’t find them? On the other hand, what kind of birds are they?

G. Say sorry to him first. And try to repair it. Or you may give him your favorite toy car instead. Or buy a new one for him.

My best friend Jack goes on vacation a lot and always brings me something expensive. I don’t have enough money to get him anything every time. What should I do?

Bob

Souvenirs don’t have to cost a lot. Show him you are thinking of him. That’s important. Imagine how excited he would be if he got a postcard from you!

I have a crush on a movie star. I really wish I did not. I have had dreams about him, and I even find myself wishing to be his wife. Are there any ways to stop this?

Alice

A star is cute, but what else? What do you think is important for person? Being good-looking or kind-hearted? Remember that the star in the movie probably isn’t what he is like in real life. So don’t let yourself spend too much time on the star. Staying with friends or taking more activities will help you get him out of your mind.

I’m always arguing with my parents. I hate it, but I can’t help it. What can I do?

Harry

Sometimes it seems that our parents just don’t know us well, doesn’t it? When I’m arguing with my parents, I usually take a walk and calm myself down. It gives me time to clear my head. That means I can talk to them and solve(v.解决) the problem. Have a try—parents are easier to talk with when you are cool and calm.
