Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Annalisee Brasil, a 14-year-old girl, is one of the brightest kids of her generation. When Annalisee was 3, her mother Angi noticed that she was stringing together word cards into correct sentences. After the girl turned 6, her mother took her for an IQ text.

So her mother homeschooled Annalisee. But Angi felt something was missing in her daughter's life. Annalisee didn't have a rich social network of other kids. She had trouble getting along with others. She described herself as a " _ " and said other students sometimes were jealous of her. What's needed is a new model for gifted education. That's the idea behind the Davidson Academy of Nevada. At the academy, all the kids are skipping ahead quickly. However, the academy's most important gift to its students is social, not academic. One of the main functions of the school is to provide a good social setting for the highly gifted. Last year the school enrolled Annalisee, which has been good for her. She has made friends at the academy. She has also developed an interest in calculus and biochemistry . Socially, Annalisee is finally learning to get along with others. "It's been interesting having to deal with that and getting used to the judgments of other kinds," she said. "We get into arguments a lot, because we're all really smart people with opinions, and it doesn't always turn out that great. Sometimes I take things a little too personally." What is the passage mainly about? Annalisee Brasil----the star pupil at school. A smart girl who entered a proper school and benefited from gifted education. A smart girl who had trouble getting along with others. A girl who was too smart to find a suitable school.

They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish.All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten. It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate.Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized...
