<passage>:
"High tech" and "state of the art" are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.
What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing     system is surely high tech.
High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980's. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens  , etc. "State of the art" is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest ways and technology. Something that is "state of the art" is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.
"State of the art" is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.
Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970's. The reason was the computer revolution . Every computer company claimed   that its computers were "state of the art".
Computer technology changes so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression "state of the art" has become as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be "state of the art".

<question>:
What can we learn from the passage?

<options>:
A American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.
B "High tech" describes a technology that is not traditional.
C "State of the art" became popular later than "high tech".

Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It's probably because you both have different personalities .
Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react   to everything around them from day to day.
So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?
Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes   and other physical things when it's still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.
But one's personality doesn't stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesn't mean it's impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don't get too worried about your shortcomings  . Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.
If you don't know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you're too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.
Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to worry about people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you are studying hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you; When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All your happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you should not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving  door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

<passage>:
When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows--cow manure  , to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That's really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer . But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
Here's how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. "The cows aren't bothered," says Marie Audet. "They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by."
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester   because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria  get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (, )in the atmosphere is known as a "greenhouse" gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That's an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators  .
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can't use themselves.

<question>:

<options>:
A make electricity

C build their farm

<passage>:
Once a traveller came into a village which was suffering from hunger. The villagers asked him to leave, for they feared he wanted them to give him food. They told him that there was no food. The traveller explained that he didn't need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with them instead. The villagers watched suspiciously as he built a fire and filled a pot with water With great ceremony , he pulled a stone from a bag, and dropped the stone into the pot of water. After a moment, he smelt the soup and shouted with excitement, "How delicious the soup is!" As the villagers began to show interest, he mentioned how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brought out a cabbage to share. This episode  repeated itself until the soup had cabbage, carrots, onions, and beets--indeed, a full pot of soup that could feed everyone in the village was ready. This story describes when there are not enough resources , humans will store things. We do not want to share. The story of stone soup helps us realize that, in doing so, we often prevent ourselves and everyone else from having a feast .The meaning of this story goes far beyond food. We keep to ourselves ideas, love, and energy, thinking we will be richer, but in fact we make the world, and ourselves, poorer. The traveller was able to see that the villagers were holding back, and he had the ability to inspire  them to give. In this way, they created a large meal that none of them could have created alone. Are you like one of the villagers? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will inspire others to do the same. The reward is a feast that can feed many.

<question>:
The traveller put a stone into the pot in order to .

<options>:
A teach the villagers to cook a soup with stone
B inspire the villagers to bring out their own food
C prove to the villagers that he didn't want their food
D help villagers to survive by giving them some food
