Dear Sally,
    I've got a problem. My good friend Lana in my science class asked me to lend her my exercise book
so she could copy my answers. Should I do it, Sally? I don't want to, but I'm afraid that if I don't give it
to her she won't be my friend any longer.
                                                                                                                                        Carmen 
Dear Carmen,
   Of course you can't give her your exercise book. That's cheating, and you could get into big trouble if
you do that.
                                                                                                                                            Sally 
                                                                                                                                                     
Dear Sally,
    I was at friend's house for dinner last Saturday. During dinner, I broke a beautiful plate. It was my
friend's favorite wedding gift. I wanted to pay for it, but she didn't agree with me. I feel bad about it.
                                                                                                                                             Kay 
                                                                                                                                                      
Dear Kay,
    I think you did the right thing. It was important to offer to pay for it, but it's not surprising that she said
no. Perhaps you could give her a special gift instead.
                                                                                                                                              Sally 
                                                                                                                                                      
Dear Sally,
    My son is 24 years old. He finished college last year, but he can't seem to find a job that he likes. I'm
worried that he's not trying hard enough to get a job and live on his own. He sleeps till noon every day.
Also I've been cooking his meals.
                                                                                                                                              Linda
Dear Linda,
    You're making it too easy for him to stay where he is. Tell him he has two months to find a job (any job)
and get his own place. He's old enough to take care of himself. 
                                                                                                                                               Sally

        Do you like chocolate? Maybe most people do. A box of it can be a great gift. Buy one for a friend and give
it as a surprise. See how happy that person gets.
        Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A man has studied people's choices.
He says they tell something about the person. Did you choose a round piece? You are a person who likes the
party. Did you choose an oval (椭圆形的) shape? (1)You are a person who likes to make things. Picking a
square shape shows something else. The person is honest and truthful. You can depend on (依靠) him or her.

feelings about the past. Dark chocolate means something else. A person who chooses it looks toward the future.
What about white chocolate? Would you choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind. Some
people like chocolate with nuts (果仁). These are people who like to help others. Different choices may show
different characters (性格). Do you believe these ideas? Can candy tell all these things? It doesn't really matter.
