Dear Abby;
I’m a helpless mother. My son Tom is 15 years old. I find that the older he grows, the less we talk. I feel very sad and I really need help.
My first problem is about his hobbies. He spends almost all his spare time on computer games. When he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I’m getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher tells me he always gets low marks in the English exams.
Second, he likes new technology, but I don’t have enough money and I can’t afford all the things he wants.
Recently, I’ve found that he is 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.
What should I do to help him? Please give me some advice.

In English, the spelling of words does not always represent(代表)the sound. And some words seem to have too many letters. An American called Noah Webster wanted to do something for the development of English, so he began his work on it. His first book, The Elementary(基础的)Spelling Book, suggested making the spelling of English words easy. The book was very popular. In fact, Webster is famous for his American Dictionary of the English Language. This dictionary came out in 1828 after it was completed. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation, use and the new spelling. Today, Webster's dictionary is still widely used in English-speaking countries.
(C)
If you want to have a wonderful vacation, you can visit Kingston(金斯顿 ). It's a famous Canadian city on the bank of Lake Ontario (安大略湖).

Queen's University, founded in 1841, is more famous than any other university in Kingston. Kingston is one of the friendliest cities in the world and it welcomes tourists from all over the world. Wherever tourists go in this city, they will see a warm smile on the street or hear a happy "hello" in a public park. It's easy for them to feel at home.

阅读下面四篇语言材料，然后按文后要求做题。
Why is setting goals(目标） important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers.One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal , or a map.
But she drivers aimlessly(无目的地） around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?
They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach.
You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.
They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way， you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。
| A．Written goals can be reviewed usually |
| B．He starts off at the same time from the same place. |
| C．It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. |
| D．By setting goals you are taking control of your life. |

Hello, my name is Kate. I have studied in a nursing school for three years. During my second month of the school, our teacher gave us a small test. I answered the questions very quickly until I read the last one,“What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” I thought this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman a few times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how could I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.. Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. “Of course,” said the teacher,“As a nurse, you will meet many people. You should care all of them, even if al1 you do is just to smile and say ‘hello’.” I've never forgotten that lesson. Later I learned her name was Dorothy.
