三、任务型阅读
Dear Abby,
I’m a helpless mother. My son is 15 years old. I find out that the older he grows, the less we talk. I feel very worried and I really need help.
My first problem is about his hobbies. He seems to spend too much time on computer games. As soon as he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I’m getting worried about him, especially(尤其)when his English teacher told me he always failed in the English exams.
Secondly, it seems that he is crazy about new technology(技术). However, I don’t have enough money and I can’t buy all the things he wants.
Recently, I’ve found that he seems to be 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.
Do all boys behave (表现) in this way? What should I do to help him?

四、Dear Liu Ming,
I’m sorry to hear that you often feel anxious and sad because of some problems in study and life.
Everyone may feel worried or sad sometimes. You should tell others when you are anxious. It’s good to communicate with your classmates, teachers or parents when you are in trouble. Then, you can work out the problems in study or life easily.
Listening to music or taking part in outdoor activities is another way to help you get relaxed. Try to smile at yourself and never keep silent about your problems.
No matter how many difficulties you have, I believe all of them can be overcome in the end.
Yours,
Li Hua
