1.Dear Molly,

      I have a problem. My parents are always talking to me about studying. They want me to study harder so I can go to a good school. I know studying is very important, but my parents put too much pressure on me. How can I explain to my parents that I need some free time?

                                                             ------ Overworked

2.Dear Molly,

       My best friend Tony is a nice young man, but he has a bad habit. He is always late. No matter where he is going to what he is doing, he is never on time. Once he turned up thirty minutes late for a meeting! What can I do to break him of this bad habit?

                                                         ------ Worried

3.Dear Molly,

       I have a new roommate named Louis. He is a good friend of mine, but he is driving me crazy because he is very untidy. He leaves his dirty clothes everywhere, and he never makes his bed. I am extremely neat. What can I do?

                                                                  ----Unhappy

4.Dear Molly,

      My cousin plays computer games a lot and he keeps on talking to me about various games. I don’t have any interest at all, but I find it difficult to stop him without hurting his feelings. Would you kindly give me some advice?

                                                                 --- Shy

5.Dear Molly,

      I’m feeling upset these days because the result of my last English exam was not as good as I had expected. My teacher comforted me, saying “Don’t worry. You can do better next time.” But I’m still feeling bad. I need your help.  

                                                         ----Disappointed

A.

Dear xx,

      As I see it, you have three choices. You can find a new flat for yourself, make him find a new one, or have a talk with him and see if you could both be a little less extreme in your attitudes towards housekeeping. I would suggest you start with the third.

                                      Molly

 

B.

Dear xx,

     You could try talking to him about the importance of being on time. If it doesn’t work, one trick you can try is to ask him to set his clock 15 minutes ahead. You could also tell him that something starts 15 minutes or more before it really starts.

                                      Molly

 

C.

Dear xx,

      This is a common problem for people your age. Tell your parents how you feel. Let them know you respect them. Maybe you can make a deal with them. For example, ask them far one day off each week to do what you want to do.

                                      Molly

 

D.

Dear xx,

    Next time when he begins talking, you might interrupt him with a smile, saying “That’s interesting, but I hope you understand this is my time to relax. I read to do some reading now.” He may sense your unwillingness and stop talking.

                                      Molly

E.

Dear xx,

      “Be yourself ” is the best solution. If I were you, I’d tell him to leave me alone. At least tell him, “That was hurtful. Please don’t say things like that to me. I’m a football fan and like watching football games. I can make my own decision.”

                                      Molly

 

F.

Dear xx,

      This is a common problem for people your age. Tell your parents how you feel. Let them know you respect them. Maybe you can make a deal with them. For example, ask them far one day off each week to do what you want to do.

                                      Molly

Dear xx,

      Scores are important for s student, but you don’t have to care too much about the result of one test. You are learning. Maybe it is more important to find out why you failed to achieve your goal. Try to do better next time.

                                      Molly

 

Answer 1

【答案】

1.C。分析：只有C選項(xiàng)提到“parents”這個詞，其它幾項(xiàng)都沒有。

2.B。分析：其實(shí)根據(jù)B選項(xiàng)的第一句就可以判斷是符合要求的。

3.A。分析：此項(xiàng)提到了解決室友懶惰的三種選擇。

4.D。分析：此題有寫考生會誤選E。其實(shí)根據(jù)D選項(xiàng)的“Next time when he begins talking, you might interrupt him with a smile,”就知道是與解決嘮叨的有關(guān)的話題。

5.F。分析：此題較容易，F(xiàn)選項(xiàng)提到了測試“test”這個詞，并且說不必太在乎測試的結(jié)果，符合要求。
