Dear Mr Zhu,
I am writing to your magazine’s “Teenagers Now” column(专栏) to ask for some help with my 16-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost everything his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very well. His grandparents buy him many things, and yet he is still rude to us. He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him. Sometimes he acts as if he doesn’t even love us at all.
Now he refuses to do his homework, and instead insists on wasting his time watching DVDs and listening to foreign music. I cannot understand this music, but I don’t like it. He also spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games or chats online. He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life!
What am I to do? At present, to prevent making his mother unhappy with an argument, I am allowing him his freedom. However, I am worried that if I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse.
How can I help my son without harming our relationship?
Yours,

A man went to see a doctor．“Open your mouth，”the doctor said．Then the man opened his mouth and the doctor looked in quickly．
“It’s clear what’s wrong with you．You need more exercise，”the doctor said．
“But，doctor，”the man said，“I don’t think…”
“Don’t tell me what you think，”the doctor said．“I am the doctor，not you．I know what you need．I see hundreds of people like you．None of them get any exercise．They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening．What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day．”
“Doctor，you don’t understand，”the man said．“I…”

“But I walk every day，”the man said．

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school．Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom．They say they can afford these things．But I don’t agree with them．
Waste can bring a lot of problems．Although China is rich in some resources(资源)，we are short of(缺乏)others，for example，fresh water(淡水)．It is reported that we will have no coal(煤)or oil to use in 100 years．So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it．I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day．Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible．
In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps(水龙头)when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on．Little by little，everything will be changed．Waste can be stopped one day，if we do our best．From the passage we know that some students often________in the school．
