Question

    Students often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Let's see how Laura deals with her problems.

One day, Laura lost her wallet and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She kept thinking, "（1）If my parents know it, how angry they will be!" In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes too. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful.

An expert called Robert Hunt says, "It is best for us not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them." He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. Students can ask for advice of their teachers or friends because they are glad to help others. In English, we say that sharing problem is like cutting it in half.（2）So you're halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!

Answer

1.如果我的父母知道，他们该多么生气！

2.所以跟别人交流你的问题相当于解决了一半的问题。

【解析】

学生通常有许多焦虑，有的是与学业有关，有的则与交友有关，当遇到问题时，学生能怎么处理呢？短文列举了一名叫Laura的学生在丢失了钱包后是如何处理自己所遇到的问题的。

1.

此句中的if引导条件状语从句，翻译成“如果”；angry意思是“生气的”；how angry they will be是一个感叹句，翻译为“他们该多么生气”。故填“如果我的父母知道，他们该多么生气！”

2.

So翻译为“所以”；You are half way to solving a problem的意思是“问题解决了一半”；by表示方式；talk to someone about it翻译为“跟别人交流这件事”。故填“所以跟别人交流你的问题相当于解决了一半的问题。”
