任务型阅读。
Tina, Mike, Jeff, Linda和Vera在生活、学习和运动中遇到一些问题,请阅读下面五个片段,并从后面的选项(A-E)中帮他们找到解决问题的方法或建议。

(     )1. Tina has been invited to one of her friends' birthday party next Sunday. She is worried about this
            now because she has never taken part in any birthday party, and nobody can tell her something 
             about it.
(     )2. Mike's favorite is playing sports. He gets up early at 6:00 every morning. Then he goes out to 
            exercise by the riverside. He runs along the river for nearly half an hour, and then takes a walk 
            for a few minutes. He goes back home for breakfast at 7:30. But he always feels weak after 
            morning exercises.
(     )3. Jeff is interested in the computer. His parents bought him a Dell computer last month. He wants 
            to surf the Internet. But he heard that there are many terrible things for kids on the Internet. His 
            parents don't have the knowledge about this.
(     )4. Linda's parents will be away for China on business for more than half a year very soon. She can't 
            go with them because she has to go to school. She will be at home alone. Nobody will take care 
            of her, and she can't do chores herself.
(     )5. Vera is a clever girl. She does well in her studies. But Vera doesn't like playing with her 
            classmates, and she feels bored when her classmates ask her questions about studies. So she 
            can't get along well with her classmates.
                                                               A
     Don't give your personal information such as your address, telephone number, etc. on the Internet
without your parents' permission. Never agree to get together with someone you "meet" online and never
send a person your picture or anything else without first checking with your parents.
                                                              B
     On the day of the party, make sure you arrive on time and show that you're happy to be there. Wear
something suitable. Greet your friend with a "Happy Birthday" and hand over the gift. Make sure you have
put a card with your name on it.
                                                              C
     Always smile, so people don't think you are serious and hard to get along with. Be polite and modest.
If you are rude, people will not like you. If people have troubles, you help them. Then, when you have
troubles, they will help you, too.
                                                               D
     Parents should get the kids to do their chores around the house. If their clothes need washing, they
wash them themselves. Let the kids prepare their own meals. Let them clean their room, cook for them-
selves, wash the dishes, etc.
                                                               E
    Let's say that the last time you eat something at night is at 6 or 7 pm (just an example). The following
day, you don't eat breakfast but wait until you finish sports - you've gone many hours with nothing in your
stomach. Your body has to work hard. It's not good. What's more, consider reducing the time and
strength of your morning exercises.
