　　Mr Brown was born in a poor family．He couldn't go to school when he was young．Now he's a porter(搬运工)and works at a station．He doesn't think it's necessary(必要的)to know some knowledge of science．His son, Bill, began to go to school last year．The boy likes nothing except playing．He doesn't listen to the teachers in class and can't do his homework after class．It's the hardest thing for him to do maths exercises．And he wants to drop it．

　　Last evening Mrs Brown heard Bill crying in the next room while she and her husband were watching TV．She came up to him and asked,“What's the matter, Bill?”

　　“I can't do my maths homework,”said the boy．“I won't go to school tomorrow!

　　“No, no, don't do that!”said the woman．“Maybe your father can help you．”

　　Then she asked her husband to help their son with his maths．Mr Brown said,“But I don't know maths, either．”

　　“It doesn't matter,”said his wife．“You'll only coax him out of crying．”

　　Mr Brown had to do as his wife said．The next afternoon Bill came back and showed his exercise book to his father．The man had a look at it and shouted to his wife,“Come here quickly, dear!I got an A in maths!”

　　Do you read advice columns in newspapers and magazines?Do you think they are helpful to everyone who reads them?Here are some：

　　I've got a problem．My good friend Lana in my science class asked me to lend her my exercise book so she could copy my answers．Should I do it．Sally?I don't want to, but I'm afraid that if I don't give it to her she won't be my friend any longer．Carmen

　　Of course you can't give her your exercise book．That's cheating, and you could get into big trouble if you do that．Sally

　　1 was at friend's house for dinner last Saturday．During dinner, I broke a beautiful plate．It was my friend's favorite wedding gift．I wanted to pay for it, but she didn't agree with me．I feel bad about it．

Kay

　　I think you did the right thing．It was important to offer to pay for it, but it's not surprising that she said no．Perhaps you could give her a special gift instead．

Sally

　　My son is 24 years old．He finished college last year, but he can't seem to find a job that he likes．I'm worried that he's not trying hard enough to get a job and live on his own．He sleeps till noon every day．Also I've been cooking his meals．

Lisa

　　You're making it too easy for him to stay where he is．Tell him he has two months to find a job(any job)and get his own place．He's old enough to take care of himself．
