My
children go to a primary school where
they are not allowed to play football in the playground for fear that a child
might be hurt. Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because
the local secondary school can't keep up with the amount of homework given in
the primary school. Can the school do this? Puzzled Dad
It can't if enough parents do
something about it. It is not just schools. We live
in a society which wishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a
little common sense and courage. Children
need risk if they arc to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They
need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic
potential. Complain, loudly.
I have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making
up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears.
How can I make her understand she's beautiful the way she is. Plain Mom
You can't. Your daughter is at the age when she's trying to
look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she
docs, you're in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she's beautiful — even if she looks
ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa (健康美容中心).
Let her try various looks until she's comfortable in her own skin.
1.Why are the children not allowed to play football in the playground?
A. The school is afraid that children might be injured.
B. The school is not sensible and confident.
C. The children don't have enough time to do homework.
D. The children may fail to fulfill their academic potential.
2.What disturbs Plain Mom is that her daughter______.
A. becomes mad B. cries a lot
C. spends much rime before the mirror D. is not beautiful enough
3.The solution to Plain Mom's problem is to______.
A. make her daughter look less ridiculous
B. let her daughter dress up like her friends
C. make her daughter go to a spa every week
D. let her daughter feel herself what beauty is

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE'S GOT ANSWERS
Q: My problem is computer gaming. I do it day and night, averaging four hours of sleep. I can't control of this, and I don't know where to go for help. Do you? —Player
A: Dear Player,
You have an addiction. For some people playing video games releases dopamine, a powerful brain chemical that makes you feel good. You'd toss your cigarettes if you were ready to quit, right? To kick the habit, get help from a health professional. And don't look for help on line; that would be like an alcoholic going to the bar for advice.
Q: My brother's wife just had triplets(三胞胎). This is such a joy! Yet every time I share the news with co-workers, they ask me if she was on fertility pills. I think this is rude—or has society just become so talk-show numbed (麻木的)that you can ask anyone anything? —No Show Host
A: Dear Host,
Yes. Our society has become increasingly disrespectful of privacy. But don't blame it all on the talk-shows. Continue to celebrate and greet impolite questions with stony silence. Their fertility history is nobody's business but their own.
Q: I work at an amusement park, and my manager steals supplies. She has a catering business on the side, and we've seen her load up her van at the back gates. The big bosses think she is the best thing since buttered bread, and we're all afraid that if we say anything, we'll lose our jobs. What can we do? —Righteous
A: Dear Righteous,
Be sure you're right. You must have evidence about what and why things are going out the back gates. Once you know for certain, it's time to go to the bosses and report what you have seen.
Q: My stepson's wife sometimes leaves their eight-year-old home alone for "a short run to the store." That may be an hour or so. I believe by law we should report it. What do you think?
—The In-laws
A: Dear Laws,
I don't know what the child-protection laws in your state are, but I do know that children need care and attention. This child may be able and unafraid, but kids aren't always careful. It also sounds like there is stress in your family relationship. One thing you can do to help this situation is offer to baby-sit when Mom needs to step out.
1.Which of the following statements is true?
A. Dopamine is a powerful brain chemical good to our health.
B. Looking for help on line is like getting help from a health professional.
C. Player is a video game addict who smokes and sleeps few hours.
D. Player is advised to stay clear of the screen.
2.According to the Q&A, .
A. Host's colleagues are insensitive
B. The talk-show is to blame
C. Somebody's business is everybody's
D. Host's sister-in-law was on fertility pills
3.What we can infer from the Q&A is .
A. The Mom is not to blame because she needs a short run to the store
B. Children need care and attention, though not for all of them
C. Laws, the old lady, wants to report what she sees to the child's father
D. Laskas doesn't seem to approve of Laws' trying to report what she sees
4.Which Q&A mentioned transport?
A. The first B. The second. C. The third. D. None.
