12.Blind boxes have become popular in China these days.When you buy one,you never know exactly what you're going to find inside.Some people think this is the reason that makes them fun to buy. However,blind boxes can encourage risky behavior.If you really want the toy from a blind box,you might not get it in the first box that you buy.So you buy another box,hoping that you will get the toy you want.Then you buy another,and another.Pretty soon,you've spent all your money.That sounds like gambling(賭博) to people. It's okay to buy a blind box once in a while.But we have to be careful not to get addicted(上癮的) to the feeling of gambling that blind boxes provide.Part of growing up is learning self-control.If you can stop yourself from spending all your pocket money on things like blind boxes,you will be better prepared to keep yourself away from risky behavior as an adult.

16.Dear Alice, As your school counselor(學校輔導員),I would like to give you some advice.I know that you are usually a very careful student and study very hard.But recently I can see that you keep to yourself more than before,and some of your teachers told me that you often seem upset or worried. I know that you took part in several singing competitions this year,and that you are preparing for another one.It seems that you are very interested in being famous. I know many students think that famous people have wonderful lives.Alice,life as a famous singer is very hard;you must practice and write new songs all the time.You must prepare for recordings,which is not easy.You must go on singing tours,which are very tiring and will often take you away from your family and friends. Also,famous people have no private lives.Strangers follow them everywhere.Safety is a big problem.If they marry,they often worry if their husband or wife truly loves them.If you make a lot of money,you will certainly have friends and family who ask you to do many things for them.Many famous people have very unhappy family lives. Alice,please think about the bad side of fame,not just the good.Now,when you are young,it is best to carefully study and prepare yourself for normal life.In the future,I'm sure you will be glad that you did so,whether you become a star or not. Sincerely yours, Mr.Anderson (1)Why does the school counselor write to Alice?
