Dear Abby,
I'm a helpless mother. My son Tom is 15 years old. I find that the older he grows, the less we talk. I feel very sad and I really need help.
My first problem is about his hobbies. He spends almost all his spare time on computer games. When he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I'm getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher tells me he always gets low marks in the English exams.
Second, he likes new technology, but I don't have enough money and I can't afford all the things he wants.
Recently, I've found that he is always alone. I've never seen him talking to his friends on the phone or going out with anyone on weekends. That is the last problem I have.
What should I do to help him? Please give me some advice.

這是一封求助信。信中的媽媽在教育Tom時(shí)遇到了三個(gè)困難，希望得到建議。
小題1:綜合理解題。從信中的第二段第一句“My first problem”、第三段“Second”、第四段最后一句“That is the last problem I have”可知共有三個(gè)問(wèn)題。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從信中的第二段第二句“He spends almost all his spare time on computer games.”可知。
小題3:推理判斷題。從信中的第三段“I don't have enough money and I can't afford all the things he wants.”可推測(cè)Tom的媽媽不寬裕。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從信的最后“Please give me some advice.”可知。
小題5:綜合理解題。A、C、D三項(xiàng)與信中的內(nèi)容不符，可排除；從第二段最后一句“he always gets low marks in the English exams.”可知，他英語(yǔ)學(xué)得不好。

My friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed (移民入境檢查) at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐廳) in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order. But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange（排列） the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11="98," meaning 98 is its mark. Knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," love:12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money? It can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, you’ll find it’s also rewarding（有益的）though it has caused you losses（損失）.
小題1:The writer thinks  _________ is the most important thing in a person’s life.
A．hard-work.B．knowledgeC．money D．a(chǎn)ttitude
小題2:What is the mark of the word money according to the passage?
A．73 B．72 C．75D．62
小題3:According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way is to ___________.
A．a(chǎn)sk for help from others
B．hope to be lucky
C．change your attitude
D．try math-solving ways
小題4:From the passage we can learn that ______________.
A．different attitudes come from different courses of life
B．sometimes failure can bring you good if you take a positive attitude
C．math can solve every problem easily in our daily life
D．none of the English words except “attitude” is 100 or more

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in 2002. He was different from other dogs because he was born with only two legs. The poor dog of course could not walk and even his mother Sarah did not want him. His first owner Michael Johnson also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of killing him. But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him. She decided to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself. She called him “Faith”.
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard (滑板) to let him feel the movement… Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure (誘惑) and reward for him for standing up and jumping around. Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk. Amazingly, after only six months, Faith learned to balance on his legs and jump to move forward. After further training in this snow, he could now walk like a person.
Faith loves to walk around now. Wherever he goes, he attracts people’s attention. He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. A book named With a Little Faith is now being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
Jude Stringfellow, his present owner, has stopped working and plans to take him around the world to tell people “that even without a perfect body, one can have a strong will (意志)”.
Faith is a good example of the strong will and wonder of life. In life there are always unpleasant things. So, in order to feel better, you just need to look at life from another direction. I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.
小題1:Faith is different from other dogs because _______.
A．he doesn’t have a tail
B．he has only two legs
C．he was born on Christmas Day
D．his mother loves him best

③ feel the movement on a surfboard
④ balance on his legs
⑤ use peanut butter on a spoon as a reward
A．③①④②⑤B．③⑤④①②C．②⑤③①④D．④⑤①③②
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Faith’s mother can walk with two legs like a person.
B．If we don’t have a perfect body, we can’t be successful.
C．When we meet with difficulties, we should never give up.
D．When we have difficulties, we should wait for others’ help.
