One will feel happy when others flatter 奉承) him in his face. It is said that the best way of flattering someone is to give him a “top hat” 1 .

A student was going to leave the capital to become  2  official (官员) in a city far away. Before he started, he came to say  3  to his teacher.

“It is  4   job to be a good official.” his teacher said.“ you must be strict  5  yourself and never be careless.”

“Don’t worry about me, sir.” The student answered. “I have already   6   anyone hundred top hats, which will  7  those people quite happy.”

“But we are really gentlemen!  8  could a real gentleman do such a thing ? ” His teacher was a bit _9  . “ Never forget  10  I taught you in class!”

 11  are always right, sir. I also hate such things. But, sir,   12   no one really gentleman like you can be seen in the world now.” said the student. It seemed that he had to do so.

13hearing this, the teacher was pleased. “What you said is true!”

“I have  14  one top hat already. Now I have ninety-nine  15  .” the student said to his friend later on when he asked the student what he had talked with the teacher about.

Dear Annie,

I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I know I was wrong.

Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.

I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me . I’m a mother of three children. I know well how to bring up (带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me.

But now I have a serious problem: the Internet problem. My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now , but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it . He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Internet every day , He chats with people that he has never met before , but speaks little to us .He does lots of useless things on the Internet. And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework.

I just want him to be a good student . Now he seldom does his lessons at home. I’m afraid he will drop behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor , a very kind man . He never seems to be afraid of his father.

What can I do ?And don’t tell to talk to him. We’ve tried that and it didn’t work. But this is really a big problem in our family. I have tried everything I can think of . I wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的).You’re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!

Yours,

Ellen Smith
