Question

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.      Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”

Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.

Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve (解决) them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.

In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲述了学生在面对困难的时候要学会找人诉说寻求帮助。文中以Laura丢失钱包的故事为例，在跟父母说了之后得到了解决。专家也建议我们可以找父母去解决问题。

1.判断推理题。结合前后文，在前文中讲述了学生会遇到各种各样的问题，后面又写到应该怎么去解决这些问题，所以选A，我们应该怎么处理这些问题呢？

2.判断推理题。文中第一段But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.我认为告诉别人可以得到帮助。如果我们不跟别人说，我们将会感觉很糟糕。第二段中就以 Laura的故事举了个例子，故选B。

3.判断推理题。文中第二段描述Robert Hunt给了学生解决问题的建议，让他们向别人诉说，This person doesn’t need to be an expert (专家) like himself.而这个人不一定要像他自己一样是个专家，由此可判断他是个关于学生问题的专家，故选D。

4.主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲述了学生在面对问题的时候，要学会找人诉说寻求帮助，并以Laura的故事举了个例子，所以选C。
