user: Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Cooks at the Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop in west Beijing can't make the pork and scallion baozi (buns) fast enough since Xi Jinping visited for some traditional workers' food and ate it among the workers. The Chinese president's visit late last month went down a treat, while web commentators were enthusiastic in their praise for Xi's easy populism, after he left the government headquarters in nearby Zhongnanhai and ordered six steamed buns filled with pork and scallions, a bowl of stewed pig liver and a plate of green vegetables. The bill came to 21 yuan, about EUR2.50, and he sat and finished it at one of the restaurant tables, just like any other working Joe. While Xi is known as "President Xi" abroad, in China he is known as "Chairman Xi", in the same way as the country's late founding father Mao Zedong is known as "chairman Mao". The Chinese government is keen for its leaders to have the president title abroad, as it sounds, well, more presidential. But in Qingfeng, it's all about the chairman. "Since Chairman Xi came here, the restaurant has had queues like this every day. We didn't know the chairman was coming beforehand. We only recognized him when he was at the window picking up his food because he also waited in the line," says a waitress. Xi is building up a reputation as a more approachable kind of leader, a man of the people - something people in Ireland got a taste of when they saw how he handled a hurley in Croke Park during his visit. There were rumours last year that Xi even took a taxi to ask the driver what was really going on in Beijing, although that may have been a _ . While his predecessor Hu Jintao was seen as a theorist, Xi's public profile is high. Question: According to the passage, President Xi is building up a reputation of   _  . - frankness. - toughness. - plain work style. - indifference.
Ans: plain work style.

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Science is a major topic in our culture. Since it touches almost every field of our life, educated people need at least some knowledge with its structure and operation. They should also have an understanding of the scientific subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. An understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific ideas is easier to obtain if one knows something about the things that excite and discourage the scientist.     This book is written for the person whose knowledge with science is not complete; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of tricks; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. The book can be used to add to a course in any science, to come with any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or simply to provide a better understanding of science. We hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. It will give them an idea and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. Besides, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are deep in our culture.  We have tried to present in this book a correct and up-to-date picture of the scientific world and the people who populate it. That population has in recent years come to include more and more women. This increasing role of women is not just the only event but, rather, part of the trend obvious in all parts of society, as more women enter traditionally male-controlled fields and make influential contributions.  We have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. Our method is usually informal. We feel, as do many other... Question: The book mentioned in this passage is written for readers who   _  . - are scientists making influential contributions - want to have a little understanding of science - want to break the male-controlled world - have a misunderstanding about science
Ans: have a misunderstanding about science

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: The journey to the moon had been the first step toward future exploration in space. The distance between the Moon and Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away. Traveling to the planets will be man's next aim. Such travels will be more challenging than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous.      Recently, two American spaceships, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars trying to discover whether that planet has any life on it. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed nor ruled out. Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense   and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the Earth's atmosphere.     Scientists believe man may find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth , but man should realize Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to love and care for it.
