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 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：这篇短文主要讲述的是学生们的生活中总是会遇到一些问题，这个时候我们该怎么办？文章中以Laura的故事当例子告诉我们，我们应该学会向别人倾诉，这样才有助于解决问题。

1.段落大意题。文章开头说的是学生们总是会有问题或烦恼，接下来又说的是出现问题的时候，该怎样处理，引用了Laura的话，Laura建议我们应该跟别人倾诉。故这里看这个空应起着承上启下的作用，故A选项，我们应该怎样做？最符合这里的意思。B是问题从哪来的；C他们什么时候有这些问题：D他们为什么会有这些问题。这三个选项都与下文结合不起来，故选A。

2.段落大意题。第二段作者向我们讲述了Laura的一件事，她丢了钱包，不敢告诉父母，怕他们生气。但是最后她还是告诉了他们，并且得到了父母的原谅。所以从这件事上她知道了以后再遇到问题时，一定要和别人一起分享。所以这一段是作者用Laura做了一个例子告诉我们，当我们遇到问题时，应该怎么办。故选B。

3.推理判断题。根据文章的第三段内容可知，Robert Hunt关于这个问题，给我们提出了一些建议，他说回避问题是不可取的，我们可以先找个人倾诉，这个人不一定必须是个专家，可以是自己的父母。故由此我们可以推断Robert应该是一个青少年问题的专家。故选D。

4.主旨大意题。这篇短文通过一个具体的事例想要告诉我们，青少年的生活中总是会遇到一些问题，当我们遇到问题时，我们不应该逃避，而是要学会和别人分享，对别人倾诉，这样就会减少我们的忧虑，或许还能找到解决问题的方法。故选C。
