Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don't know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish. Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products . Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers. In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade . Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things--and cut down on waste, too. Question: What is the main idea of this passage? - Repairing old computers. - Encouraging to make cheap computers - Recycling old computers. - Helping those who need computers.
(Answer)
Recycling old computers.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Prana, our beautiful dog whose name means 'breath of life', isn't with us any more. But she brought such joy and love that we still miss her. There are so many wonderful stories about the love in this dog, but my favorite is this one. It was an autumn day in Minnesota, but the weather didn't know the difference between autumn and winter. Unexpectedly, we were hit with a big snow fall for which no one was prepared. We have two apple trees in our backyard. Prana loved apples. When she went outside, she'd take hold of an apple, put it far back in her mouth, and _ the house to save for eating later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn't always happy that Prana had brought them into the house. Feeling my displeasure, she would turn her head so I wouldn't see her hidden treasure. On the day that it snowed too early in the season, Prana went outside and I watched her from the window. I noticed that she was madly digging holes and brought the apples to the surface so they could be seen above the snow. I wondered why she was doing this. She seemed to be completely busy with some kind of important task to dig up as many apples as possible during her yard time. When I called her back into the house, she had her usual one apple in her mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The yard was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for her bird friends to eat. She knew that they wouldn't have stored enough food to live through such an early winter. Question: Prana was busy digging up the apples in the snow because _ . - she liked digging holes and eating apples - she was always saving the apples for eating later - she wanted to leave the apples to her bird friends - she loves playing with snow
(A).
she wanted to leave the apples to her bird friends

Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Scientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study on the effect of robotic dogs on old people's depression , physical activity, and life satisfaction. In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in the life of its owner. "I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice," says a seventy-year-old lady. "When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind." The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog _ exercise and feeding concerns. "At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate(......) to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry." Beck says. "Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters' blood pressure, oxygen levels or heart rhythms . AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds." Question: In the research, the old people are asked to _ . - note the activities of AIBOs - keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks - record their feelings and activity - study the collected information
Answer:
record their feelings and activity
