ASK LASKAS
YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE'S GOT ANSWERS
Q: My problem is computer gaming. I do it day and night, averaging four hours of sleep. I can't control of this, and I don't know where to go for help. Do you? —Player
A: Dear Player,
You have an addiction. For some people playing video games releases dopamine, a powerful brain chemical that makes you feel good. You'd toss your cigarettes if you were ready to quit, right? To kick the habit, get help from a health professional. And don't look for help on line; that would be like an alcoholic going to the bar for advice.
Q: My brother's wife just had triplets(三胞胎). This is such a joy! Yet every time I share the news with co-workers, they ask me if she was on fertility pills. I think this is rude—or has society just become so talk-show numbed (麻木的)that you can ask anyone anything? —No Show Host
A: Dear Host,
Yes. Our society has become increasingly disrespectful of privacy. But don't blame it all on the talk-shows. Continue to celebrate and greet impolite questions with stony silence. Their fertility history is nobody's business but their own.
Q: I work at an amusement park, and my manager steals supplies. She has a catering business on the side, and we've seen her load up her van at the back gates. The big bosses think she is the best thing since buttered bread, and we're all afraid that if we say anything, we'll lose our jobs. What can we do? —Righteous
A: Dear Righteous,
Be sure you're right. You must have evidence about what and why things are going out the back gates. Once you know for certain, it's time to go to the bosses and report what you have seen.
Q: My stepson's wife sometimes leaves their eight-year-old home alone for a short run to the store. That may be an hour or so. I believe by law we should report it. What do you think?
—The In-laws
A: Dear Laws,
I don't know what the child-protection laws in your state are, but I do know that children need care and attention. This child may be able and unafraid, but kids aren't always careful. It also sounds like there is stress in your family relationship. One thing you can do to help this situation is offer to baby-sit when Mom needs to step out.

(答案→)D 解析：当你生活中遇到困扰的时候，当你感觉不知如何应对的时候，你可以求助于ASK lASDAS这个你问我答栏目。在本文中作者列举了一些在这个栏目中人们提出的问题以及主持人对此作出的解答。比如如何解决沉溺网络游戏问题、如何对待别人窥探隐私的问题等等。【小题1】D细节理解题。根据第一个问题的回答中 You'd toss your cigarettes if you were ready to quit, right?如果你想戒烟的话，你得先扔掉香烟。可以判断对于Player的问题，栏目主持人建议他要远离电脑。【小题2】A 细节理解题。根据第二个问题中I think this is rude—or has society just become so talk-show numbed (麻木的)that you can ask anyone anything?以及回答Yes. Our society has become increasingly disrespectful of privacy.可以判断他们都认为如今的人们对他人的感受都漠不关心了，所以A选项正确。【小题3】D推理判断题。 根据第三个答复中Be sure you're right. You must have evidence about what and why things are going out the back gates.可知主持人认为必须有充足证据才可以去揭发别人，由此可以推断主持人不赞同Laws去告发上司。【小题4】C细节理解题。根据文中and we've seen her load up her van at the back gates可知第三个问题中涉及到了交通工具，所以答案选C。
