     閱讀下面短文,第1至5題表述了Anna, Smith,Wilkins, Crick和June在自己的生活及學習中遇
到的問題,他們需要你的幫助,請從A.B.C.D.E和F中為其選出最合適的建議。選項中有一項是多
余選項。
     1. Anna: I get really frustrated easily, and sometimes I end up yell ing at people I love. I'm not very sure
why it happens, but I have no control over it. How can I stop?
     2. Smith:Some kids are making fun of me because I'm doing very well at school. Isn't that something to
be proud of? I need advice.
     3. Wilkins: I am not sociable. I am really shy, and I am already a freshman in high school. I have some
new friends, but I am still shy to the cool kids. Can you help me, please?
     4. Crick: I always say what I feel immediately and without thinking. Sometimes I get in trouble for it or
feel sorry about it later. Is speaking your mind a good or a bad thing?
     5. June: I love to read! But I don't have any time to read because of all of my activities. I don't want to
quit anything. What should I do?
A
     Instead of feeling upset, you should definitely be proud of your- self. Intelligence is a quality that everyone
wants, and as you get ol- der it's going to be what people love and respect about you. Still water runs deep.
I'm sure as time goes by, some of those kids making fun of you might realize how cool you actually are.
B
     Everyone has to learn how to adapt to society and mix socially with others. No man is an island, as the
saying goes. To become a so- ciable person, you must be naturally friendly. Besides, do something for a social
situation. A teacher once gave me this great advice: Pre parea conversation in your head before going into an
uncomfortable social situation. It sounds like a lot of work, but it's easy and it works! Get involved in activities
that interest you and you will make new friends fast.
C
     Always keep a book with you so that you can read during pock- ets of free time. Turn some of your TV
or computer time into reading time. Read for a little while right before bed, and find time to read on weekends.
Also, talk to your parents about your schedule. You might not want to quit anything, but you might need to
find more free time in order to have a happy balance in your life.
D
     That feeling is your conscience, and it's telling you that you need to confess what you did. Be brave and
tell your parents. Even if they get upset when they hear about it from you, they would be even more upset to
hear about it from your friend's mom. So pick a quiet time and say. Mom, Dad, I need to tell you something,
but I'm a fraid. Then spill the beans. No matter what they say, you'll be re lieved not to have this secret any
more. 
E
     First, identify what is frustrating you, then learn to calm your- self down. The next time you start feeling
frustrated, stop what you're doing and breathe deeply. Count to ten. Get up and walk around. Clear your
mind before you come back to the frustrating task. If you keep a cool head, you'll be less likely to snap at
others. And if you do yell at someone, apologize and admit that it's not that person's fault. Then calm down
and try again.
F
     Speaking your mind can be a really good thing. Far too many people don't, except when talking about
someone behind that person's back. However, there are times when honesty does more than good like when
a girl asks if she looks fat. So in situations in which there's no real good, you are better off keeping your
thoughts to yourself. In situations in which that is not the case like when your brother asks if his breath stinks
feel free to tell the truth. Just be prepared to take it in return.
