Sometimes people got a little hurt. Patty decided that Linda should be taught a lesson.
After the second class, Patty was at the water fountain. As she took a drink, Abel passed by. "What"s
up? " he asked her. Patty said, " Nothing much, the usual. Today is sure an interesting day. But it"s not good for
Linda. "
"What do you mean? What happened? " Abel asked. Patty said sadly, "I heard that Linda got below an A
on her history exam. You know her parents want her to get straight As. I think they"ll keep her at home for a
whole week to study. "Before he could ask anything else, Patty walked on.
Abel caught up with Emily. "Did you hear, "he asked, not waiting for her to answer, "Linda failed on a
history exam and her parents will keep her at home for a whole month? " Emily looked at him in surprise, "But
Linda is a straight- A student.This is terrible. Don"t tell anybody, and I won"t either."
At lunch, the gossip was flying fast. Tim asked Bob, " Did you hear about poor Linda? She failed in
history, and her parents are going to get her a tutor (家庭教师)."
By three o"clock, everybody knew it. All day, Linda had a strange feeling. People were looking at her.
She asked Dana what was going on. He said, "I don"t know who found out, but we"re really sorry. "
"Sorry about what? " Linda asked. Dana said, "Everybody knows you failed in all your subjects, and
your parents are taking you out of school." Linda stared(盯着) at him, mouth opened. "How did this gossip
start? It"s not true! "Linda began to shout. In a moment , most of her friends were around her. They asked if
there was anything they could do. "Look, " she said, "I got an A on my history exam. Who would start a gossip
like this? "Nobody seemed to know, but they did know that it began at the water fountain.

"I".

"I don"t see why I can"t be the best person to write an advice column for the students called Dear Amy!"
Andy said to Jenny, the editor of the school newspaper. Andy agreed to do it if Jenny did not tell it to anyone
else.
At first it wasn"t too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then
came a letter from a person named Joe.
"Dear Amy," it began. "I"m in real trouble. I"ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents won"t
even let me take music lessons .I have a guitar, but they both get angry if I play it, I"ve tried explaining, but they
won"t listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents change their minds! "
The letter was written by "Joe".
Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise someone to run away from home? But did
n"t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard but couldn"t think out a good answer.
Andy couldn"t sleep . He just worried about poor Joe.
In a reading room a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy"s maths class, sat down next to him and said,
"You look a little bit worried"
"I guess I do." Said Andy.
"If you"ve got a problem, why don"t you try writing to Dear Amy about it?" asked Eleanor.
Andy groaned, but she went on."I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn"t
answered the phoney letter I wrote her last week .You"d better read it — it may make even the most hard-
hearted person cry! It was thought to be from a songwriter named Joe."
