Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A few weeks ago, a friend of Smile Groups gifted me PS100 to do good deeds with. Since then I have used the money in the U.K. and the U.S and have helped some strangers, generally raising a lot of smiles. They have warmed my heart, but none so much as the gift I was able to give just an hour ago. I was in a shop looking at the second-hand books. It just so happened that the bookshelves were next to the toy section. After a few minutes I became aware of a group of women standing behind me. They were poorly dressed and spoke in what sounded like an eastern European language. As the little girl, about three years old, came over to the toy section, immediately her attention was caught by a toy. She spoke to her mother and in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. PS3 was the answer. The mum looked down at her child, perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she simply shook her head. The child didn't react badly as some children might. Being told no was obviously not a new experience for her. But she couldn't keep the disappointment from her face. I had the total of four pounds in my pocket, two PS2 coins. A moment later, I tapped the mother on the shoulder, and pointed to the coins which I had left and said, "Buy her a dolly, too." I didn't hang about to see the end result. _ . I made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine. The money my friend gave me was an investment in the happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness with so little money than to buy a toy for a little girl? Question: The author learned from this experience that . - our kindness will be thought of many times - we should make good use of the charity money - it is wonderful to show kindness to young children - a small amount of money can bring so much joy to people
Ans: a small amount of money can bring so much joy to people

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: I found a new job that meant a move from Florida to California. We got a date from the moving company to move our belongings, but we weren't sure what to do about the car. We had moved before, but never so far. We thought driving our car across the country wouldn't be good for us or the car, and we were pretty nervous about entrusting our new SUV to anyone. A friend suggested Mountainside Auto Transport. Moving day arrived, and Mountainside's driver showed up right on time. We had agreed to meet early in a shopping mall parking lot right down the street from us. When I saw the truck I realized why. It was huge! We watched as the driver skillfully guided our car onto the truck and waited while he secured it in place. Then he was off, and we were free to spend some time saying good-bye to our families before enjoying a relaxing flight across the country and settling into our new home. Just over a week later, we were pleasantly surprised when Mountainside called us to say they were able to deliver the car the next day -- 4 days earlier than we expected. The delivery was more smooth than expected. We have to say that it certainly was a wise decision to use Mountainside Auto Transport to move our car. They were very nice people who were a pleasure to do business with. They were the right people to deliver the car. Instead of a _ , they turned our moving experience into a very moving story! Question: The service of the moving company can be described as _ . - disappointing - funny - satisfying - careless
Ans: satisfying
