Dear Kids Advice Magazine，

Hi，my name is Evan and being the eldest child in the family surely has its disadvantages.First of all，I have to share all my toys and games with my younger siblings，William and Julia.Of course，they don't need to return the favor because I'm totally uninterested in their things.Besides that，Julia and William are always hanging around me.It's especially annoying when I have a friend over.We look for a secluded place in the house where they can't disturb(打擾) us，but within minutes，they've found us and are asking to join in.I just can't seem to get a moment's peace.At meal time，I have to eat whatever is on my plate regardless of the portion size or taste.William and Julia only need to try one bite when it's not their favorite food.Not only this，but I'm expected to be cooperative(合作的) at all times because I'm the oldest and need to be a role model for them.

It doesn't seem fair either that I have more chores to do around the house than Julia and William put together.Plus，when it comes to practising our musical instruments，I have to practise more than double the time.Oh，and the worst part of it all is the huge quantities of homework I get compared to them.

I'm feeling rather annoyed with my sibling situation.Can you please write back with some advice?

Yours truly，

Evan Smith

Dear Sunday Globe，

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(禮儀)．

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(靈敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.

Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face?to?face conversations from ever beginning.

Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.

Yours truly，

Amber Jala

1.Amber Jala wrote the letter to ________．

A. find a good job

B. provide advice

C. make her life easier

D. buy a smartphone

2.What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. 致函 B. 稱呼

C. 陳述 D. 選址

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It is dangerous to drive on the road.

B. It is easy to start a company with others.

C. It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.

D. It is important to use our smartphones properly.
