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.

Recently, Chinese netizens (网民) enjoy themselves on “growing and stealing crops” on the Internet. This is a game called “Happy Farms”. Now more and more people are joining in the game, and getting addicted. Some of them are even found playing the game at work. Because of this, some players have been fired by their bosses. Lovers have broken up, but none of them can stop Happy Farms from becoming more popular.
Here we interviewed some young netizens and let’s see what their opinions were.
Nongmin: Playing happy Farms at work, that’s terrible! A clerk was fired because she was online playing it at work.
King: I find that all the dreams of having houses and fields, which are very hard to get in real life, are very easy to be realized in the games. I think I know the reason why the game is so popular.
Kaixin: We have to know how to control ourselves. We should keep our minds on study. Games are just games. I prefer to play sports with my classmates when I am free.
Kitty: I like Happy Farms. My high-pressure work makes me feel like I can’t breathe. I wish I could have a real house and farm, but it seems so far away. I have to turn to virtual(虚拟) nature for my own house and farm.
People often get tired from work or study, so they go to their own farms, take care of their crops and pull out weeds. It is really delightful to forget about the pressure. But some players work from morning to night to “grow and steal crops”. They lose themselves in the game and show no interest in anything else. It is really terrible.

A.a popular online gameB.a kind of sport
C.an interesting online filmD.a real farm
【小题2】The word “fire” means _____ in the underlined sentence in the first paragraph.

【小题3】 From Kaixin’s words, we can guess that he is probably a_____.
A.farmerB.workerC.studentD.clerk

D.“Happy farms” sometimes can help you relax but it may also cause problems

I remember that when I was in my teens,I used to refuse to follow the many “dos” and “don’ts” of my parents.For example,when I planned to sleep with my pet dog,they immediately said,”   1 “because they thought it was dangerous.This was just an example of the things I thought my parents were    2  about.       

Today,however,I am the father of a boy aged 15,and I find that I too,am pressuring my son with a lot of    3   that are hard for him.

The   4   day,I noticed that my son was wearing giant pants that could    5  three teenagers. No one should wear them.I commanded him to take them off at once .Usually,he  6  me,but this time he put his foot down.”What’s wrong with giant pants?  7  classmates wear them. And I don’t think you have the right to ask me to remove them,  8 you are my father!” said he.I    9   realized that we are now living in a society with more freedom,and that my son’s strong will on wearing giant pants was just an  10 of the generation gap(代沟) between us.Therefore,I gave in and now he is still wearing giant pants.
