Dear Li Lei
Thank you for your letter. I hope I can help.
As we all know, carelessness of a doctor will be a disaster not only to ourselves but also to patients. So you should do your homework and take exams carefully enough. Try your best to quit your carelessness little by little.
What’s more, cheer yourself up. Colour therapy may help you. Orange represents joy, which can cheer you up when you are feeling sad. Yellow can give you hope for success. So you can choose to wear orange or yellow. Instead, you should avoid blue that may make you feel sad.
I hope my tips are helpful to you.（共99字）
All the best,

(The living room. Friday night. A table and two chairs at front centre. Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.)
Grandfather: And…I win！
(Son enters room.)
Father: Not again! Oh look, here comes my boy. How are you, son
Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm… Dad, can we talk
Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat.
Son: OK. Here it is. I’ve decided not to go to university. I want to focus on my band and have a career in music when I leave school.
Father: (raising his voice in surprise) You can’t be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer !

Grandfather: (stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!
Father: But I told him to study something useful at university!
Grandfather: (laughing) Easy, son! I remember when you were his age, you said that you wanted to be a professional football player.

Grandfather: (turning to Son) Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet
Son: Well, I could try…
Grandfather: If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two choices for your future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university.

Education appears to protect older adults especially women, against memory loss, according to a study by researchers Georgetown University Medical Centre.
The study tested declarative memory (陈述性记忆) in 704 older adults (58-98 years of age). Declarative memory refers to our ability to remember events, facts and words, such as where you put your keys or the name of that new neighbour. The researchers found that their memory performance became worse with aging. However, more years of early-life education countered these losses, especially in women.
For example, the declarative memory abilities of an 80-year-old woman with a bachelor’s degree(学士学位) would be as good as those of a 60-year-old woman with a high school education. So, four extra years of education make up for the memory losses from 20 years of aging.
“Simply said, learning brings about learning,” says the study’s senior researcher, Michael Ullman. “Since learning new information in declarative memory is easier if it is connected with knowledge we already have, more knowledge from more education should result in better memory abilities, even years later.” adds the study’s lead author, Jana Reifegerste.
“Evidence suggests that girls often have better declarative memory than boys, so education may lead to greater knowledge gains in girls,” says Ullman. “Education may bring advantages to memory abilities in women, even years later in old age.”
“These findings may be important, especially considering the rapidly aging population,” Reifegerste says. “The results argue for further efforts to increase chances of receiving education.”
“Education has also been found to slow down the beginning of Alzheimer’s disease “ Ullman says. “We believe that our findings may explain why this happens.”
The underlined “counter” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. cancel B. reduce C. produce D. change
What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. More education. B. Declarative memory.
C. New information. D. Better memory ability.
The research findings may help ________.
A. slow down the process of aging B. push for the development of education
C. fight for the equal rights of women’s education
D. make progress in the study of Alzheimer disease
The passage mainly talks about that ________.
A. early-life education helps prevent memory loss in old age
B. women should try to get a bachelor’s degree
C. learning often helps improve old adults’ memory
D. declarative memory abilities fail with aging

These sites also post some improper content which do harm to youngsters. The parents should check the activities of their children on social media sites often and suggest the ways to use them less often.
Academic Problems
Many students face problems during schoolwork and exams in schools and colleges. The parents look after the studies of their children. They should sit along with them before exams and help them work out their problems. If your children go to the coaching class then you should contact the teacher and ask him about the progress of your child in studies.
Eating Disorders
The teenagers especially girls care more about their eating habits than guys. Because of the speedy life pattern and heavy studies and workloads, teenagers like junk food better which is quick to cook. It gives rise to many health problems such as constipation(便秘), indigestion(消化不良), food poisoning(食物中毒), and many other disorders. Considering children’s food habits, parents could write down the names of proper food and prepare it, which will be of great help to their grown-up children.

In this book, the writer describes one of his journeys when he was a student. He walked across Africa from north to south. Along the way he met with many dangers. Most of us think of big animals like lions or elephants when we think of danger in Africa. Mr Smith makes the point that the most dangerous animals in Africa are the smallest. They are the insects, these are the ones that can give you diseases. Luckily, Mr Smith did not get any serious illnesses. He writes about the kindness he met from people on the way. The most serious event was right at the end of his journey in South Africa, when he was lucky to survive a serious road accident. He was only slightly hurt. As in his book, nowadays the most dangerous wildlife in Africa is its lorries and cars.
