Question

Getting Advice from Strangers

　　Most Americans don't like to get advice(忠告) from members of their family. They get advice from “strangers” . When they need advice, they don't usually ask people they know. Instead many of them write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on many different subjects including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, and even on how to buy a house or a car. Most newspapers regularly(定期地) print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters there are answers written by people who are supposed (推测) to know how to solve such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training (训练) for this kind of work. One of them answers letters written to “Dear Abby. ” The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers. ” Experience is their preparation for giving advice.

　　There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Gavaliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in a column called DEAR ANGEL in the Philadelphia Bulletin.

　　So people often say Americans get advice from strangers.
