“I believe you’re the right person to write an advice column (专栏) for the students called Dear Amy!” Jenny, editor of the school newspaper, said to Andy, who finally agreed to accept the job if Jenny promised not to tell it to anyone else.
At first it wasn’t too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then came a letter from a person named Joe.
“Dear Amy,” it began, “I’m in real trouble. I’ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents won’t even let me take music lessons. I have a guitar, but they both get angry if I play. I’ve tried explaining, but they won’t listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents agree.” The letter signed “Joe”.
Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise someone to run away from home? Probably not. But didn’t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard, but couldn’t think out a good answer. Andy couldn’t sleep. He just worried about poor Joe.
At a bar a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy’s math class, sat down next to him and asked, “ What’s wrong with you? You look a little worried.”
“I guess I do,” said Andy.
“If you got an problem, why don’t you try writing to Dear Amy about it?” asked Eleanor.
Andy sighed; but she continued, “in fact, I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn’t answered the phony letter I wrote her last week. You’d better read it – it may even make the most hard-hearted person cry! It was supposed to be from a songwriter named Joe.”

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成相关任务。

What must you do when you receive a gift for your birthday? You have to sit down and write a thank-you note. The words “thank you” are very important. We have to use them on many occasions. We say them when someone gives us a drink, help us to pick up things, hands us a letter, lends us a book or gives us lift.

(1)______ important word is “please”, _____ many people forget to use it. (2)It is impolite to ask someone to do something without saying “please”. We have to use it when we ask for something , too. It may be a book or a pen, more rice or more milk, help or advice. It may be in the classroom, at home, at the bus stop or over the counter. We have to use “please” to make request pleasant.

We have to learn to say “sorry” too. When we have hurt someone’s feeling, we will have to go up and say we’re sorry. When we have told a lie and feel sorry, we will have to use the same word. When we have forgotten something or broken a promise, we will have to explain with that word, too. “Sorry” is a healing word. We can make people forget wrongs by using it sincerely.

“Thank you! Please! Sorry!”—these words are simple but important. Man had to use them long ago. We have to use them now. Our children will have to use them again.
