Dear Sigmund Friend
I am a Grade 9 student. I have   21  problem, and I do not know how to deal   22 it.
I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice   23   to do it. I often stay up late to complete  24  , and then feel tired the next day.
Sometimes, I want to   25  to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my homework and   26   on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies   27  playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth   28   so hard.
I am   29  a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great value to me. I hope to    30   you soon.
Best wishes
Millie

解析

【主旨大意】本文以一个九年级学生的语气，谈论了自己面对的一些生活和学习中的烦恼。
小题1:一个烦恼，泛指用a。
小题1:考查词组deal with意为“处置；助理”。
小题1:考查词组have no choice but to do sth. “毫无选择地做某事”。
小题1:exercise意为“练习”可数名词，所作的练习不止一道题，用复数形式。
小题1:accept“接受”；refuse“拒绝”；take“带走”；agree“同意”。根据后半句，但是有时我接受，可知前边的意思是“有时我拒绝”。
小题1:词组为hand in“上交”。hand in为动词+副词的结构，代词作宾语放于动词与副词之间。
小题1:such as意为“例如”。
小题1:根据上文可知“我”一直在做作业，学习很刻苦。work hard“努力学习”。
小题1:looking for “寻找”；B. looking forward to“渴望”；looking after“照顾；照看”；looking up“查字典”。句意为“我多么渴望没有作业的假期”。
小题1:hear of“听说”；hear about“听说”；hear from“收到某人的来信”；hear“听见”。句意为“我希望不久收到你的回信”。
