阅读下面的短文，然后从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．
In the last passage we've already talked about some dangerous plants， but we don't want to give anyone the wrong idea． The truth is that some plants can hurt you， but most are completely harmless． In fact， there are plenty of plants that are actually very useful to humans．
That is why plants are so popular in Chinese medicine． Chinese medicine has been using plants for at least 4，800 years． One of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine is ginseng（人参）．Doctors of Chinese medicine believe that ginseng can help your lungs （肺），clean your blood and do many other things．Ginseng also provides energy for people． In fact， many modern energy drinks that you see in stores have ginseng．
In some parts of U．S.. there is a plant called lady fern （蹄盖蕨）．This is the plant you need if you've been stung by a bee， or if you've got a small burn or a cut． Lady ferns are great for making your skin feel better． All you have to do is roll one of its leaves and make it into pieces in your hands． The juice inside the leaf will help your skin feel better．
If you're hiking in Europe， look for a flower called tansy（艾菊）．
This yellow flower is a natural insects' enemy．You just rub it on your skin，and insects will leave you alone．
Sage （鼠尾草） is one of the most useful plants in the world． Because it has so many uses，it's also quite valuable． Human beings have been using sage for a very long time． In Europe， before fridges appeared， people used sage to keep food． Over the years， people have used sage to fight all kinds of health problems． Sage has been used to treat colds， stop muscle （肌肉） problems and reduce （减少） swelling． In fact， sage comes from the Latin word " salvere "， which means"to be saved"．

Dear Annie,
I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I know I was wrong.
Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.
I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me . I’m a mother of three children. I know well how to bring up (带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me.
But now I have a serious problem:the Internet problem. My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now , but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it . He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day , He chats with pelple that he has never met before , but speaks little to us .He does lots of useless things on the Internet. And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework.
I just want him to be a good student . Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home. I’m afraid he will drop behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor , a very kind man . He never seems to be afraid of his father.
What can I do ?And don’t tell to talk to him. We’ve tried that and it didn’t work. But this is really a big problem in our family. I have tried everything I can think of . I
wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的).You’re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ellen Smith
