Read the passage and write（阅读文章，按要求完成任务）：
Many newspapers have an advice page. So does the school newspaper of Xinhan Middle School Angela Wang who is the editor is responsible for the page. Students like to write to her for advice.
Dear Angela,
I am having a problem with my chemistry teacher. She is super nice to my classmates but behaves completely differently towards me. She blames me for things I didn’t do. What should I do?
Mike
Dear Mike,
In a situation like this, you’d better speak to the teacher directly. This way, you can understand why she has a different attitude towards you. Our personal bias（偏见）might influence our thoughts about other people. Make sure the way you feel the teacher treats you isn’t influenced by any bias.
Angela
Dear Angela,
My parents and I have been fighting a lot recently. I’m 16, but they still treat me like a kid. My mom calls me 20 times if I don’t get home before 7 p. m. I tried talking to them about this, but they never change. What can I do?
Jim
Dear Jim,
Being angry and standing against your parents will not solve the problem. Try communicating with them from their point of view. Make a list of things you wish to do and another list of your parents’ possible concerns about them. Let your parents know you have learned to be responsible for yourself.
Angela
Dear Angela,
I’m 16 and I want to leave school this year. My parents say it is too early and that I should be trying to get into high school. I want to work at McDonald’s. Then I can start earning money to buy things.
Jane
Dear Jane,
Your parents are right. It would be better if you can complete as much of your education as possible. Real independence won’t come from earning 150 yuan a week. It will come from the qualifications（资格）and experience that you would gain by staying at school for a couple more years.
Angela
Task 1: Make a list of the problems mentioned in those teens and the name of the students. Then sum up the advice as well.
Problem l of 1.:2.. The advice: 3..
Problem 2 of 4.:5.. The advice: 6..
Problem 3 of 7.:8.. The advice: 9..
Task 2: If you have a problem in life, who would you turn to for help, and why?

A beautiful smile
-- Zhang Bei

It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone,
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break.I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy,
lively and warm.
That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me! It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

Would you like to have an electric car? Do you know this kind of quiet and clean cars run on electricity(电)?
In the future, more and more people will have cars, so the cars will be in great need. But the oil won’t keep up with the number of cars on the road. So the price of oil will go up.
Electric cars aren’t perfect just yet. It can take eight hours to charge(充电) a car for only 100 miles of driving. How far that car travels depends on the weather and traffic.
Price is a problem, too. Electric cars cost much more than cars using oil. The good news is that electric-car technology(技术) is getting better. As it does, the prices of this kind of cars are going down.
To charge the car, the US Department of Energy is paying for at least 10,000 charging stations around the country. And it will cost about three dollars for each charge.
Now carmakers are looking for other ways to make the car cheaper. Then more people will use electric cars, and we’ll have a clean and nice world in the future.

Some Americans are poor at speaking foreign languages. It’s a fact. In any city around the world, you can find American tourists asking for the restaurant menu in English. At best, they will try to say a couple of phrases they ______ from a phrase book, but they will stop making an effort the moment they discover the waiter knows a little English.
I read a survey once that found that only 20 percent of Americans could speak a language other than English in their own homes. So ______ is this? I think laziness is possibly the key factor（因素）. There is a general feeling among Americans that “Everyone speaks English nowadays, so it’s not worth learning other languages.” In multinational companies（跨国公司）, English is often the official language of communication within the company. ______, Americans who live abroad can always find other American people to talk to or to watch American TV with – all reasons for never bothering to learn the local language.
The situation in American schools doesn’t help. In 1997, about 75 percent of American public middle schools offered foreign languages. Today, that number has ______ to 58 percent. And even the few students who study foreign languages at school don’t spend as many ______ of classes as students in other countries. I think it is also a ______ that American children don’t study English grammar any more, which makes it more difficult for them to learn the grammar of another language.
