Dear Abby,

This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column for many years. I need an outside opinion.

I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly loved children--all under the age of 5--and I'm upset with some of their parenting ways.

For example: They lock the doors to their children's bedrooms at night because the children might get out of their beds and wander around the house, and we may not hear them."

 If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty

word, all three are given hot sauce (辣醬汁) in the mouth. I know these parents love their children very much, but are these ways of disciplining them wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).

--- Gram

 

Dear Gram,

Children's bedroom doors should not be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare (噩夢).Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a good way to make them grow up to hate each other. Children who use "naughty" words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth-they should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the "naughty" word. 

                                                                                                               

1.Gram's daughter _____________.

A. is very strict with her children            B. does not love her three children

C. always punishes her children at night      D. often gives her children hot sauce

2. Gram writes the letter in order to ____________.

A. disclose her daughter's ways as a mother     

B. criticize her daughter's ways as a mother

C. express her anger about her daughter s ways as a mom

D. get others' opinion about her daughter's ways as a mom

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Gram seems to care for her grand children very much.

B. Gram is against some of her daughter's ways as a mom.

C. Abby is for only one of Gram's daughter's ways as a mom.

D. Abby agrees with Gram about her daughter's ways as a mom.

Dear Abby,

I am a very conservative woman. I don’t drink, dance, wear makeups or pants. I enjoy the company of friends despite（盡管）our differences and thought they enjoyed mine.

On our most recent outing, however, they laughed at my religious jewelry, commented on my “l(fā)ack of fashion,” and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late.

Despite this, they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat. I don’t bring up their being overweight, or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly. I don’t criticize them for sleeping around. I wish they would accept me for who I am.

I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask, but I don’t really want it to come to that. Any suggestions?

—Just an Old-Fashioned Girl

C

Most Americans don’t like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice, they don’t usually ask people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which advice give on many subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, how to buy a house or a car, and so on.

Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters are answers written by people who are supposed to solve (解決) such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for giving advice.

There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Caveliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers, now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called DEAR ANGEL.

66.For advice Americans usually write to _________.

A.their family members         B.there friends

C.Angel Caveliere             D.newspapers or magazines

67.“Abby ”and “Ann Landers” are probably________.

A.real names of two women     B.two experienced doctors

C.two famous lawyers          D.pen names of women

68.Which of the following is likely true according to the passage?

A.Angel Caveliere is loved by many American young readers

B.Angel died young

C.Angel has much more experience than the other writers with special

training

D.Angel is famous for her good knowledge of all the subjects

A.Two Famous Women Writer    B.Angel Caveliere and Her Advice

Dear Abby,

I want to ask you for my advice. When I leave

the school, I want to be an engineer. For years

I have interested in engineering. I have made tools

at home and have written articles for magazine. My

father says that engineering is a suitable subject for

a girl to study it. He wants me to study geography.,

However, I am not interested in this subject at all. I

tried to read books on it, so I was so bored. 

What should I do? I respect my fathers judgement

and experience, but I don’t think he understood me.

Best wishes,
