【題目】

Hi, I’m Mike. I work as a writer for GROWING UP. I hope I can help you with your problems.

Q Dear Mike,

I’m not very good at giving advice to other people. A friend of mine recently bought some Nike trainers online, but they were fake (假的). Everyone except him can tell that they’re fake. I don't know how to bring this up with him. Can you give me some advice?

– xxximaaa

A Dear xxximaaa,

A long time ago, a friend of mine told me what he liked most about me. It was that I always ‘kept it real’. Do you know the meaning of it? It means being honest and open, even when your thought is unpopular.

I suggest that you keep it real with your friend. If no one else is brave enough to tell him about his shoes, then maybe you should be the one to do it. You don’t have to do it in a mean (刻薄的) way. Just go to your friend secretly and bring it up. Your friend will thank you because you are honest.

On the other hand, who really cares if the shoes are fake? Is it really that big of a deal? Maybe you should just forget about it. If other people are making fun of him for having fake shoes, they really have a problem.

– Mike

If you have problems when growing up, I recommend you GROWING UP!

【1】How many suggestions does Mike give to xxximaaa?

A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. None.

【2】What does Mike think is a real problem?
