Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Plastics are considered one of the most serious pollutants causing environmental problems. The garbage containing plastics end up in the waterways that eventually flow into the oceans. Accumulation of plastic in the ocean endangers marine life and pollutes the water. Does a plastic continent exist? Yes, a plastic continent does exist and was discovered by Captain Charles Moore a decade ago. The plastic continent is twice the size of Britain and it is the region between the Hawaii Islands and California in the central Pacific Ocean. One of the causes of the lack of marine life in this region is due to pollution and pollutants are none other than plastics. Captain Charles Moore believes plastic waste started accumulating in the 1950s. The plastic continent is the man-made continent of floating plastic waste. The fisher men and the sailors have avoided this region for years. The reasons are: 1. There are no fish here because of the lack of nutrients. 2. The zone also lacks the wind that is essential for sailing. To do research on the ocean pollution, Captain Moore founded Algalita Marine Research Foundation. Other organizations such as Greenpeace supported his cause. The reports of The United Nations Environment Program show that millions of seabirds and marine animals are dying due to the invasion of plastics. The waste plastics can be recycled, but in fact they are being thrown into the oceans. The marine animals mistake these for food and eat them. This leads to their death that affects the marine food chain. To save the oceans from the plastic continent you need to reduce the use of plastics, reuse plastic bags and recycle plastics. Question: What can we learn from the passage? Options: A: Many marine animals are dying due to the broken marine food chain. B: Captain Moore founded Greenpeace to do research on the ocean pollution. C: The marine animals have no choice but to eat plastics for lack of food. D: There are three ways to prevent the oceans from becoming a plastic continent.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: While engineers have made out fantastic products for sitting still--Munchery instead of walking to lunch, Uber instead of walking to the bus stop--services to make you move have been less appealing for consumers. Fitbit's stock price fell 18% after they announced their latest Apple Watch-like product named Fitbit Force. And new data suggests that, for the first time, death rates for large parts of the American population are rising, with signs pointing to inactivity and weight gain as the reasons. Our digital lifestyles and desk-based workplaces are contributing to serious health problems and could be shortening our lives, wellness firms want us to believe. Northrup, president and co-founder of the connected exercise device TAO-Wellness, was in Las Vegas to promote TAO's small device that encourages exercises. He lifts the device, about the size of an apple, and says workplaces should start encouraging on-site exercise. Nick Mokey, the managing editor of Digital Trends, agrees. "I hate to break it to you, a room full of people sitting down, but sitting is killing you," he says to the audience. They shift in their seats. In the health section of the Sands Exposition Hall, people are selling devices made by LifeSpan Fitness. They say they're the largest seller of treadmill desks in the US. At the center of their exhibition area is a Bike Desk, which looks like three gym bikes attached to a table. That's for people who just want to sit and enjoy conversation. Treadmill desk-related shame is their biggest obstacle, they say when LifeSpan installs two in opposite ends of the same building, neither tends to get used. If the company installs two next to each other, people will use them. "You don't want to be so noticeable, especially at work," company spokesman James Lowe says. What's more, what if we get sweaty using a treadmill in the office? Question: What can we learn about the device TAO-Wellness? Options: A: It is a kind of treadmill desk. B: It is comparatively small in size C: It is created by LifeSpan Fitness. D: It is designed for outdoor exercise.
