Read the following article and answer the question. Article: You are probably familiar with the saying:An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying: An apple a day may keep aging away. The research chose fruit flies , as they share many genes with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract added to their diet. It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days--five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk,climb and move about as they aged. According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals that cause illnesses,as well as aging. In another study,researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke. The apples' genetic code was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer. Apples that kill the desire to eat could also be produced, with the first"extra-healthy''apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years. The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant,which would finally become today's apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches,strawberries and other related fruits. Question: Why were fruit flies used for the research? Answer:
OPTIONS:
- Because they have a similar diet to humans.
- Because they have a history as long as apples.
- Because they share a lot of genes with humans.
- Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.
Because they share a lot of genes with humans.

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Scene 1 On a wild mountain, two goats met on a rock just over a high cliff . The rock was so narrow that there was neither room for them to pass each other nor to turn round and go back. One of them with great care laid himself down on the narrow rock, pressing as close to the rock as he could. Then the other goat gently and softly stepped over his friend, till, safely past him, he could lightly get away. The goat that had lain down then drew himself up, safe and free to leap again from rock to rock, and eat the sweet grass on the hills. Scene 2 Two other goats met on the banks of a wild, rushing stream. They found there was a tree across the stream. It formed a bridge from one side to the other. They stood for a moment with one foot on the tree, each thinking that the other would draw back. But neither of them would give away, and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge! They then began to push and fight with their horns , till at last their feet slipped, and both the goats fell into the stream, and were lost in the waters! Both might have been saved if either of them had known how to give way to another at the right time. Question: What can we learn from the passage? Answer:
OPTIONS:
- Many hands make light work.
- Actions speak louder than words.
- Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
- Being kind to someone is never a waste.
Being kind to someone is never a waste.

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: BEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity . However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show, because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still produce tears . But crying is much more difficult in space, according to The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow down out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go -- they just stick to your eyes. In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off of your eyes. They just stay there." Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is stinging like crazy," Feustel told his teammate during the walk. Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait -- "When the tears get big enough, they simply break free of the eyes and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic. There are lots of small things -- things like crying -- that we are so used to on Earth. We usually _ until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp , because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center. Therefore,... Question: What effect do tears have on astronauts? Answer:
OPTIONS:
- They cause physical pain.
- They bring comfort to them.
- They make their vision clearer.
- They float around and cause trouble.
They cause physical pain.
