Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey (新澤西) in the past,staying in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill.

One year,however,Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business,so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.

They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They had expected that they would have to go to bed hungry,because in that small inn in New Jersey,no meals were served after seven. They were surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there that night. "Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr. Smith. "Yes,certainly,sir," answered the waiter. "We serve it until half past nine."

"What are the times of meals then?" asked Mr. Smith.  "Well,sir," answered the waiter. "We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning,lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon,tea from four to five,and dinner from six to half past nine." "But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London," said Mr. Smith.

 Here are some table manners inAmerica.

Don't circle your plate with your arms. If you do so,you will become the focus (焦點(diǎn))

of the table. Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may

give a wrong message that you don't like the food or something like that.

Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the

hostess (女主人) know that you've just done a labor?

Don't lean (倚靠) back and say"I'm through" or   "I'm full". Just put the fork and

knife across the plate. That's all.

Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (塊) at a

time.

Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are?

Don't do that. It's not so good.

It's never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at

dish?"

? Letter 1

Whatever I do, I always think about if other people will like it. How   can I stop worrying about what they think?

―Eva ， 14 ， Illinois

@ Letter 2

My dream is to be on the Olympic team for gymnastics. My dad thinks I   started too late and I'll never be able to make it. He puts me down, but I   want his support. What should I do?

一 Erica   ， 9 ， Texas

@ Letter 3

What should I do if I failed a test? I'm afraid to tell my mom because   she might get mad at me. And I can't play soccer. But soccer is like the   world to me.

―Ashley, 12， Wisconsin

@ Letter 4

I just moved, and I'm kind of shy. So how do I make new friends?

―Jessica ， 11,   Canada

Dr. Molly's Answer①

You should tell him about   your dream and that if you work really hard, it might happen even though you   started late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you'll be   able to work on making your dream come true.

Dr. Molly's Answer②

Nobody knows   you at your new school. You have nothing to lose. So gather up all your   courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You   can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to   break the ice. Good luck!

Dr. Molly's Answer③

It's better to tell your mom the truth than for her to find out   another way. When you tell her, explain why you failed the test. Ask her if   she can help you study in the future, so you'll do better on your tests and   also have time for the soccer you love.

Dr. Molly's Answer④

Just be   yourself and try not to care about what others think. The more you think   about it, the worse you will feel. Always act strong and confident. Even if   you are a little unsure of something, don't doubt(懷疑）your abilities to do things right. Just relax.
