One of the most popular items in the school newspaper is the advice column (专栏). Here are some of the questions asked and their answers.
Q: I’m always late for school. I try not to be late, but I can’t help it. Please advise me about what to do. Tommy.
A: You are probably late for school because you don’t really like school. My advice to you is to enjoy school more, and then you won’t be late so often.
Q: I find it difficult to make friends. What do you think I should do? Sara.
A: I can’t advise you until I know more about you. Your problem may be that you are shy. On the other hand, it may be the opposite. You may be bold(大胆的). Write and tell me more about yourself.
Q: I’m always at the bottom (末尾)of the class. What do you advise me to do? Molly.
A: I advise you to try to improve your grades in one subject at first. Next, try to improve your grades in another subject. If you do this, by the end of the year you should be quite a long way up from the bottom in all your subjects.

Barry Parker was a very successful businessman. He lived in a large house and drove a car. He wore expensive clothes and ate his meals in famous restaurants. His name was often in the newspaper. One day a newspaper reporter asked him, “What is the secret of your success(成功)?”
