C
It is a Saturday morning．You have your breakfast，walk the dog，and then go to soccer practice on time．A few hours later, you return home，only to find that the dog has made your bedroom untidy．Your clothes are on the floor．．
Before you get angry, you should stop and think．Your dog wasn't misbehaving(捣蛋)just for the fun of it．And he wasn't punishing(惩罚)for leaving． It's called separation anxiety(分离焦虑)
Thank of it this way :Dogs ask where you're going or when you'll be back．All they know is that they want to be with you．Since you're not there，they need to find you．Dogs may suddenly develop separation anxiety．But with practice and patience(耐心)，you can teach your dog to be comfortable being left alone．
Put on your jacket，and then sit down．After a while，walk out the door for 1 minute，then 2 and so on．Little by little your dog will learn that when you leave，you will return．
Teach your dog a word or action that you use every time you leave，which tells your dog you'll be back．
·Before you leave，give your dog a toy(玩具).It will keep him busy while you're away．
A．You can also try the following ways． B．Your favorite sports shoes are in poor condition． C．You'd better find someone to look after your dog． D．They can't call you on the phone． E．Open and close the door, and men sit down． F．Some dogs just feel nervous when left alone． |
| Problems | ||
| A | B | C |
| My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do? Helen | My best friend has suddenly turned her back on me and I don't know why! Last week we phoned each other every day and e-mailed too, and over the weekend we went shopping together and she was fine. But at school on Monday morning she didn't look at me or speak to me. I don't know what I've done. She now spends all her time with another group of friends. Jane | I have a really bad habit of chewing（嚼）the ends of my hair. I try to stop, but I can't! My mom is starting to get really angry about it. Have you got any ideas? Gina |
| Advice | ||
| Hi _________, Why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house—it's only fair. I don't think you should change your looks though. Young people should look like young people. | ②Hi_________, Wearing your hair pulled back in a ponytail（马尾辫）will help keep it out of your mouth. When you feel like chewing something, try bubble gum（泡泡糖）. Give yourself time and you should be able to break this habit. The first few days are usually the hardest. Good luck! | ③Hi ________， Don't worry about it so much! Phone your friend up as usual and she won't be able to refuse you. I am sure you will get along well with each other. Everything will be fine. |

Do foreigners find online shopping fun or painful? Some of my foreign friends have shared their online shopping stories with me.
Ari James(the US)
One of the first things I was told about China is Taobao. When I arrived in Nanjing, it didn't take me a long time to start buying things from Taobao. I bought bags, shoes and many other things.
Christine(Australia)
I've been shopping online for nearly three years. Now I'm completely in love with Taobao. I can find almost everything I want on it. It took me a long time to get used to online shopping, since most online shops serve Chinese people. But as soon as I got the knack(诀窍), online shopping became quite easy.
Barbara Gordon(the US)
I've only used Taobao a few times. Compared with website like Amazon, Taobao is worse. You have to be very careful about what you will buy in order to avoid scams(诈骗). If Taobao can try harder to fight against online scams, it'll be more successful.
Lindy(Canada)
I can't stop shopping on Taobao! I often search for what I want through Taobao of a whole day! I'm so crazy about traditional Chinese gifts. I won't miss this year's shopping day.
