user: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I have tried many ways to be ill. I don't wear a sweater when I should, and two days ago I walked in the rain without my shoes. But so far nothing has happened. Debbie once told me about a boy in her class who liked being away from school. He would rub   the end of the thermometer   until it went up to 39degC. Then he'd put it in his mouth and his mother would think he was really ill. This morning I tried doing that but it never went above 35degC and I rubbed it for ten minutes. So I held the thermometer next to the light on my desk and it went up to 40degC. I thought I'd put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that. Then my mother would take it out and she would be worried when she saw that I was rather ill. The only trouble was I didn't know the thermometer would be so hot. As soon as I put it into my mouth, it burnt my tongue! I spit the thermometer out. It fell on the floor but it didn't break. I will have to think of a better way to get my mother and father back together. Question: Why did the writer spit the thermometer out? Options: A: Because it smelled terrible. B: Because it was too hot. C: Because it was too long. D: Because it was broken.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Little stream  ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. "I went through so many difficulties.I should have no problem crossing the desert," she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. "Maybe I can't reach the ocean," she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice said, "If a breeze can cross the desert,so can a river." It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, "That's because a breeze can fly, but I cannot." "That's because you _ what you are. Let yourself evaporate into the breeze, and it can take you across," said the desert. "Give up what I am now? No!No!" The little stream could not accept this idea. "The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again," said the desert. "And whether you're a river or vapor, your nature never changes." Hearing this,the little stream went into the open arms of breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life. The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are sometimes. Question: Before the stream reached the desert, she didn't   _  . Options: A: believe in herself B: meet any difficulties C: want to cross the desert D: worry about the journey to the ocean
