Dear future Linda (or rather myself),
I hope when you read this letter you don’t find my writing too messy! At the moment, I’m 15 years old and living at home with my family. I love school and have lots of good friends. We do lots of fun things together like parties, ice skating and swimming. My biggest worry is not doing well in my school exams, but I’m working really hard so hopefully I have nothing to worry about.
There’s so much I (you!) want to do. I hope you’ve travelled all over the world and seen lots of things and met lots of people. I hope you’ve visited the Great Wall in China and the pyramids in Egypt, shopped in New York City and in Paris, seen polar bears in Norway and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I’ve just remembered, you always wanted to see elephants in India—I hope you’ve managed to do that too.
I promise myself I’ll always try my best and have no regrets. I never want to forget where every step of my life has taken me. Already it seems as if so much has happened. I’ve moved from primary to junior middle school (about to graduate), been taught to swim and dance (I love ballet dancing), learned to speak Chinese and French, and raised money for those in need by selling old toys and books.
I really hope you’re happy. I hope you have a successful career that you enjoy doing and look forward to each morning when you wake up. I hope you’re surrounded by good friends and family and maybe also have a family of your own. More than anything else, I hope you’ve enjoyed every single moment so far!
Love Linda

Nowadays, many wild animals around the world are in danger. Some kinds of them are dying out at an alarming rate (以惊人的速度). Between 150 and 200 species (物种) disappear every day. To make us aware of the serious problem and help save the animals in danger before it’s too late, our English teacher shared two posters with us.
We are losing home!
Like many other animals, we live in the trees. However, billions of trees are being cut down every year to make paper for humans. In this way, a lot of animals’ homes are being destroyed! Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper?
Elephants mostly live on the plain of Africa and in the forests of Asia. But today, they are facing a serious problem: large numbers are being killed for meat and skin, especially for ivory. They are in danger! Only when we stop buying elephant products can we stop the killing and save them. Let’s say NO to sale!

How can I help you?
Dr. Know will try her best to help with all your problems.
Dear Doctor,
I am a sixteen-year-old student and I’ve been experiencing lots of back pain and headaches lately. I’m unsure about the cause. Like some of my friends, I spend my evenings playing computer games and surfing the internet. What’s more, I carry a heavy schoolbag to school daily. I’m just an ordinary student, but these health problems are starting to worry me. What can I do?
Adam
Dear Adam,
I’m unable to tell you exactly what’s wrong, but I can offer some advice. First of all, don’t spend too much time on your computer, and stop using it late at night. It’s important for teenagers to get enough sleep. Also, you get headaches from looking at computer screens for a long time. If you sit on a chair for long, it can make your back sore too. As for your schoolbag, it’s important to manage its weight. Take anything you don’t need out of your schoolbag. If possible, leave some books or materials at school.
I hope my advice is helpful. Anyway, I strongly recommend（推荐）you visit a local doctor for that.
Dr. Know
73．How does Adam probably feel about his situation?

Here are the posts in a chat room on the Internet. In this chat room, parents are talking about some of the problems they have with their children.

Marisa:
Is it ever OK to lie to a child? My 10-year-old son plays soccer. He’s not very good at it, but he loves it. Yesterday he played very badly but happily. When he finished the game, he asked, “Did I play well?” I said, “Yes! You’re a great soccer player!” Did I do the right thing?

Bay 212:
Yes, you did the right thing. Sometimes you have to tell lies that are not harmful. It’s necessary to tell white lies in life. Your purpose was to make him feel good. Now he’s ready to play soccer again.

Bernie:
I don’t think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children. Parents are children’s examples. We should be honest in order to teach honesty to our children. If you keep hiding truth from them, they will not trust you or respect you. Honesty is the first step to build a good relationship between parents and children.

Missy:
You lied to make your son feel better, but you missed a good chance to teach him a life lesson. People should work hard for what they want. Maybe next time you can say, “No! You didn’t play well today. Great soccer players practice a lot. Let’s go and practice.” The truth will make him strong and a good soccer player.

Parviz:
Parents should be honest to their children, but they don’t have to tell the whole truth. Next time when your son asks, “Did I play well?” you can say, “What do you think?” Then your son can tell you what he thinks. That way, everything you say is true, and you avoid the truth that hurts him.
90．Where are the parents talking?
A．In the classroom. B．In an online chat room. C．In a meeting room.
91．What’s Marisa’s trouble?
A．She lied to her son.
B．Her son didn’t play soccer well.
C．Her son loved playing soccer very much.
92．The underlined words “white lies” mean “________”.
A．the lies which are white B．the lies that are not harmful C．the truth that makes people sad
93．How many people think Marisa did wrong in this passage?
A．Three people. B．Four people. C．Five people.
94．Which of the following is Parviz’s opinion?
A．To be honest is the first step to a good parent-child relationship.
B．Telling a lie may make parents miss a good chance to teach their children.
C．It’s a good way for parents to be honest to their children, but try not to hurt them.
