Read the article and select the best answer. Article: 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  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 Internet every day , He chats with people 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 seldom does 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 .You're my last hope. Please tell me what I can do! Yours, Ellen Smith Question: Mrs Snith wrote to Annie because_. Options: A: she often asked others for help B: she thought she was a great mother C: she didn't know how to stop his son surfing the Internet D: she didn't know how the Internet was so attractive
