Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: MERS, also known as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, has made its way to the US. The second patient was in Orlando, Florida while the first reported case was in Indiana. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the disease has mainly been transmitted by close personal contact, such as directly caring for a very ill person. The virus is formally called MERS-CoV because it's part of the corona virus family that includes the common cold and severe SARS. SARS was ly easy to stop a decade ago, because it was being transmitted by caged animals in Chinese markets. MERS-CoV was first identified in people in 2012, but has been spreading rapidly since March, 2015. The vast majority of those cases occurred in Saudi Arabia. The patient in Orlando felt ill on the first flight but not ill enough to notify a doctor. Early on May 9, he apparently became concerned that he was still feeling ill, and he went to the emergency room at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital. He identified himself as recently having been in Saudi Arabia, so he was quickly isolated to avoid infecting other patients. Wayne Marasco, an expert at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, said his biggest concern about MERS-CoV is how little we know about it. It's still not clear, in some instances, where the virus comes from, how it is transmitted or who is most subject. Question: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? - The first MERS patient was found in America. - The patient in Orlando was infected when he was taking a plane. - Most MERS cases occurred in the Middle East. - One problem about MERS is that we don't know which subject it belongs to.
Most MERS cases occurred in the Middle East.

Article: When you see homework covering the kitchen table and toys are piling up around the sofa,you probably wish there was a bit more space.You are not alone.Nearly a third of parents say they feel squeezed into their homes but cannot afford to move to a bigger property,a report reveals today. Twenty--nine percent say 'their property is too small to fit the size of their family'--rising to 40 percent for those 34 and under.One in four children is 'forced to share' a bedroom,according to the Finda Property,com website.Property analyst Samantha Baden said:"Afford ability remains a key issue for families,with the average cost of a three-bedroom home around PS193,000."Very few can afford to buy--or to rent--a property of the size they want and in the area they desire to live in,according to Miss Baden. A recent report,from investment firm LV,also found that many' space--starved parents' are pushed into a two--bedroom home which was perfect when they were a young couple,but has no space for three or so children.Grown--up children who cannot afford to leave home are also adding to the problem facing families in Britain's 'big squeeze'. For a home to be the correct size, which means it is not overcrowded,parents must have their own bedroom.Children under ten can share, as well as same--sex children between ten and 20.Anyone over 21 also needs their own room. The report comes as official figures,published yesterday by the Land Registry,revealing house prices are falling sharply in every region except London.The worst--hit area is the North East,where, average house prices have fallen to belowPS100,000 for the first time in seven years. However,they remain unaffordable for millions. Question: The report from the investment firm LV shows_. - young couples should live in a two--bedroom home - families with three or so children couldn't afford a home - parents should buy houses for their grown--up children - some grown--up children couldn't afford a separate home
some grown--up children couldn't afford a separate home

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: The behavior of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own--though extremely important--is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behavior of the people using the building has to change too. The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency, _ instead focus on architectural and technological developments. "Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,"explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, "consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design." In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best designed eco home. Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy use habits. Without specific information, it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behavior directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters. Social science research has added a further dimension, suggesting that individuals' behavior in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted--whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat , for example. Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused program to teach people about buildings and their own behavior in them. Question: The information gap in energy use _ . - affects the study on energy monitors - brings about problems for smart meters - can be bridged by feedback facilities - will be caused by building users' old habits
A: can be bridged by feedback facilities

*Question*
Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: There is no doubt that much of the profit of a business--sometimes the whole of its success--depends upon the use of the odds and ends.The odds and ends are various small things,which are left over when the main things are produced.But they possess a real value of their own. If a business,big or small,looked down upon these odds and ends,it would mean a big difference in the amount of the benefit of the business.Take a meat factory for instance, there are countless odds and ends--bones and hair,which can be made into glue and rope to increase its profit greatly. Then,if we are college students,what about our odds and ends--the odd moments? Take time for example.Every one of us has the exact same amount of it.Everyone's success or failure depends on the use of their time.But everyone uses the time more or less in the same way.However,why many great men in science or art have made huge successes for themselves in the world?Because they have made best use of their odd moments.Take Thomas A.Edison, he never allowed his odd moments to slip by.He thought,planned,and tried his inventions.He always worked twenty hours out of each twenty-four.His inventions made him famous all over the world,and provided valuable wealth for the human beings. So, remember this axiom:very busy people always find time for everything.However,people with great spare time find time for nothing.Is it very strange?Not at all!The question is how to gather up fragments of time and make full use of them.As many big businesses have found,that the real profit is in using the odds and ends.We also must do in this way to make best use of our odd moments and manage to be successful in something that we do. Question: What are odds and ends? - They are nothing useful. - They are various small,but valuable things. - They are the main things that factories produce. - They are odd moments students deny to gather up.
**Answer**
They are various small,but valuable things.
