<passage>:
In a school some trouble was caused by the students. They are very naughty and didn't obey the school rules.They often fought with each other and they didn't forgive each other. One day a new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up with a good idea.
He told each of his students to bring a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person's name on it, and put it in the plastic bag.
Some of their bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. And they had to pay attention to it all the time so they didn't forget it or leave it in embarrassing   places. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty.
Too often we think of _ as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred   in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. After that, the students got on well with each other and didn't fight anymore. Learn to forgive , and you will be happier at the same time.

<passage>:
Have you ever wanted to try on clothes without going to the trouble of getting undressed? If you have, here's the device for you: the virtual  fitting room.
The technology, designed by Russian company AR Door, was first tried out in May. When a customer walks into a "fitting" room, they'll stand in front of a big screen that looks like a mirror. A camera in the mirror, using Microsoft Kinect, monitors a customer's movement and projects a 3-D image of the clothes onto you while you stand before a screen.
The room also uses augmented reality technology. "Augmented reality allows the customers to choose an item of clothing without having to try it on physically," the company told the Daily Mail. A customer can spin around to see all angles  of the clothes, and can control the program by pushing virtual buttons.
AR Door is not the only company to be developing technology to help people with the way they look. Japanese company Shiseido recently presented its Magic Mirror, a virtual make-up mirror that allows people to get a full makeover in seconds.
However, the technology is not perfect. The clothes still seem to hang on the surface of the body, rather than look like the customer is actually wearing them. And people shopping for clothes are probably still better off actually trying them on.
In the end, you won't know how something really looks and feels.

<question>:
The virtual fitting room is technology that  _  .

<options>:
A allows people to watch a movie while trying on clothes
B can help people buy clothes on the Internet
C can help people choose clothes without having to try them on
D allows people to walk freely in the fitting room

One story holds that the first April Fool's Day was on April 1 of the year when the king of France introduced the new calendar.This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April l.Many people were not used to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on what had become the first day of April.Thus,they became the first April Fools.Others began to give funny gifts on the day to laugh at the fools who continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1.
An English story about the day,however,says that it began sometime during the 1200s.At the time,King John was in the habit of making roads out of the paths he most often walked along.The people of one particular farm village were aware of this.To _ having their green grasslands and pastures disturbed by one of the king's roads,they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside.
The king sent a group of messengers to inform the villagers that they must remove the fence.Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this,however,the villagers developed a plan of their own.When the king's messengers arrived,they were met by the villagers pretending to be mad.The people just throw things and ran around wildly.The messengers were surprised by this and reported to King John that these people were so mad that there was no necessity of punishing them.So,the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the king.In Great Britain,tradition only allows April Fool's tricks from midnight to noon on April l.Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.

<question>:

A young man went to the local expert  on gems and said he wanted to become a gemologist . The expert turned him down because he feared the youth would not have the patience to learn. The young man asked for a chance. Finally, the expert told the youth, "Be here tomorrow."
The next morning the expert put a jade  stone in the youth's hand and told him to hold it. The expert then went about his work, cutting, weighing and setting gems. The boy sat quietly and waited.
The following morning the expert again put the jade stone in the youth's hand and told him to hold it. On the third, fourth and fifth days, the expert asked the young man to do the same thing. On the sixth day, the youth held the jade stone but he could no longer stand  the silence. "Master, when am I going to learn something?" he asked.
"You will learn." the expert said and went about his business.
Several more days went by and the youth almost lost his patience. But one morning as the master put the stone in the youth's hand, the young man said without looking at his hand, "This is not the same jade stone!"
"You have begun to learn." said the master.
Practice makes perfect. The experience we learned from practice teaches us and develops our abilities. Experience is the best teacher. Even the most successful person had no absolute confidence once. It is experience that gives people confidence. The truth is: if you do the work and gain the experience, you'll have more confidence because you'll actually know what you're doing.

Though the accident brought her bright career to a stop, she didn't give up. In the painful months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who developed a man-made leg for her. So strongly, she wanted to go back to dancing.  Sudha believed in herself and she thought she could realize her dream.
After every public recital  , she  would ask her dad about her performance. "You
still have a long way to go" was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha made a historic comeback by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it moved everyone to tears. That evening when she asked her dad the usual question, he didn't say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise. Sudha's comeback was so moving that a film producer decided to make the story into a hit film.

Stephen Hawkins was born in Oxford, England on 8thJanuary, 1942. He went to school in St. Albans--a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.
It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump  into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.
At first, Hawking became very sad, after a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, "Before my illness was diagnosed , I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.
Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair," he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

What makes 15,000 men and women run for hours, and what makes them run through the streets on a cold day without coats? I was one of those runners.  The race is called marathon  .
I had never run more than eight miles before, and here I was training.  Since the race is in April, I had to run throughout the winter, and in Boston, winters are cold. For most people, just putting on their shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats is exercise enough. I found myself out on the dark streets, running along ice sidewalks  . Even in gloves, my fingers got so cold that they looked like red carrots. My nose didn't get warm until lunchtime !
Finally, the big day arrived. The weather was cold, with ice and rain. Bang! The gun sounded, and we started. I didn't go anywhere at first because I was standing behind so many people. I had to wait for them to move.
At first, the running was easy.  The other runners just seemed to pull me along. Somewhere around the 20-mile mark I even said to myself, "This is nothing, why did I train so hard?"
Then I hit "the wall". "The wall" is what marathon runners call the special point. I knew my body reached the point and I thought I couldn't go any more. I was out of breath and my legs turned into pieces of wood.  I was almost falling down.  I can't remember anything about the last five miles of the race.
I kept running though. At last, I heard a voice at the finishing line.
"You look good," my friend Ted said. "How did it feel?"
"Wonderful !" I replied.
For everything, if you devote yourself into it, there will be a way. I finished the race, at least, in my heart, I was the winner.

<question>:
