Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A big, mighty tree stood in a forest. Its branches spread out and its roots went deep in the earth. A lot of people came here to have a rest under it. And a lot of birds stood on its branches to sing and dance. The big tree was very proud all the time. At the foot of the tree, there was a little plant. The plant was thin, and seemed to be blown down by any of a little wind. One day, the two neighbors were having a little chat. "Well, little one," said the tree to the plant, "why not put your feet deeply in the earth, and raise your head high in the air as I do?" "I see there is no need to do so," said the plant with a smile. "In fact, I think I may be safer in this way." "Safer?" said the tree. "Are you safer than I am? Do you know how deep my roots are in the earth and how strong my branches are? Who can possibly pull me out by the roots or bow my head to the ground?" And the tree didn't want to say anything to the weak plant. But the tree was to regret its words very soon. One evening, a great hurricane came. It blew the trees off their roots and almost destroyed the forest completely. It uprooted(......)the mighty tree and blew it away with great force. When the storm had gone, the villagers living nearby came to check the damage. The mighty tree lay on the ground, but the little plant still stood there. Question: Why didn't the big tree want to say anything to the little plant? - Because the big tree was tired. - Because the little plant knew less than the big tree. - Because the strong wind came. - Because the big tree
Because the big tree

Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail of all the events in her daily life. Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory ( HSAM,). It means she can remember every small event-which most people would forget with in (......) days-as if it had happened just minutes ago. "I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old," she said. "That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that every day, what the weather was like and so on." Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly "taste" it. However, sometimes her memories prove to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. "When I relive memories, the feelings return, too," Rebecca said. "For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee. " "At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on, she added. "1f it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep. " Question: From the passage, we can infer that _ - HSAM can do her good, but it also brings her pain - she feels painful if she recalls her experiences - she can fall asleep while she is re-experiencing memories - HSAM can greatly improve her living conditions

Ans:HSAM can do her good, but it also brings her pain
