Problems
Dear Paul,
My best friend John has moved to another city because his father found a good job there. I find school really hard without him. What shall I do? Can you give me some suggestions?
Alex, lonely in Gainesville
Dear Paul,
I have braces (牙套), so it's important that I brush my teeth. But I don't like to brush my teeth at all. Do you have any ideas for how to make me enjoy brushing?
Lily, annoyed in Los Angeles
Dear Paul,
I listen to your programme every night. My friend's birthday is coming soon. I want to give her something special but I haven't got enough money and I am not good at making things. What's your advice, please?
Maggie, in Chicago
Dear Paul,
I have a problem. My cousin's dog has just had babies and I really want to have one for a pet. But my parents won't let me have a baby dog! I really need your help.
James, helpless in Seattle

解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，需先匹配求助者的问题与Paul的建议内容，再逐一分析各题选项：首先对应四个求助者的问题，找到Paul给出的对应建议完成信息匹配题；再针对各题问题定位原文细节，判断选项正误，完成细节理解和推理判断题。
【解析】
37题：需匹配Paul的回复与求助者：
第一个求助者Maggie的问题是“没足够钱买朋友的生日礼物”，对应第一个建议（Dear1）中“买负担得起的礼物”，故1对应Maggie；
第二个求助者Lily的问题是“不喜欢刷牙”，对应第二个建议（Dear2）中“换喜欢的牙刷、牙膏”，故2对应Lily；
第三个求助者James的问题是“想要宠物狗，父母不让”，对应第三个建议（Dear3）中“和父母沟通，证明自己能照顾宠物”，故3对应James；
第四个求助者Alex的问题是“朋友搬走后孤单”，对应第四个建议（Dear4）中“找有相同兴趣的孩子交朋友”，故4对应Alex。因此37选D。
38题：Alex的问题是朋友搬走后孤单，Paul的建议（Dear4）提到“find other kids that share your interests”，对应选项B。
39题：A选项：Maggie说“haven't got enough money”，可知她买不起贵礼物，正确；B选项：Lily是戴牙套不喜欢刷牙，不是要换牙套，错误；C选项：James是父母不让养宠物，不是不知道怎么养，错误；D选项：Alex是朋友搬走，不是他搬家，错误。故选A。
40题：原文提到“I listen to your programme every night”，说明Paul的工作和广播节目有关，故在电台，选C。
