A 新语篇 私人信件 （2025·无锡江阴直属片区期中）
Smile的朋友遇到了问题，Smile正在给Mike写信寻求建议。
Dear Mike，
One of my good friends is having trouble with his after - school classes. His mum thinks taking a lot of these classes is helpful to him in the future. But he doesn't want to take them. He argues(争吵) with his mother every week, but they never agree with each other. He feels sad about this and I don't know how to help him. Do you have any advice?
Smile

Dear Smile，
As much as you might want to help your friend, it sounds like this problem is between him and his mother. There probably isn't actually much you can do to help him in this situation(情况).
I guess the best thing you can do now is to just try to be a good friend. Listen to him when he complains and see what you can do to make him feel better. Maybe you can hang out more often on the weekend. You could try giving him a gift or doing some other nice things for him.
If I could talk to his mother myself, I would tell her that putting too much pressure(压力) on her child could might actually be a bad thing. More classes don't always lead to better results. I guess you could tell your friend to talk with his mother about this. But it might be better to just stay out of this situation.
Mike

答案： 1.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But he doesn’t want to take them.”以及“they never agree with each other”可知，斯米莱的朋友与其妈妈争论的原因是他们对课后班的看法不同。故选C。
2.D [解析]词义猜测题。根据“and see what you can do to make him feel better”可推知，画线词complains指的是“不高兴地说某事”。故选D。
3.C [解析]细节理解题。根据迈克给出的建议“As much as you might want to help your friend，it sounds like this problem is between him and his mother.”以及“Maybe you can hang out more often on the weekend. You could try giving him a gift or doing some other nice things for him.”可知，斯米莱可以倾听朋友、陪朋友闲逛或者送朋友礼物等，文章没有提及要与朋友的母亲交流。故选C。
