I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Yesterday,I overheard our 9-year-old son,Aaron,talking to his friend,Zach. "Oh,God!"Zach began,looking in Aaron's closet "Where are all your toys?" "Oh,we are doing something called Simplicity plan,so I basically got rid of 80% of my stuff . " "What? Did your mom and dad make you do this?" "No, Idecided to do it because I wanted to.When I give away a lot of my things,I make room for family activities. I did it because I wanted to live differently and have less stuff in my life." "But still,why would you choose to get rid of most of your toys?" "Part of the reason is that my parents were doing it with their stuff .And my mom talked to me about it and explained how they felt happier afterwards. And I thought maybe I really had spent a lot of my time in my room playing with toys instead of spending time with my parents and sister." "Seriously?" "I feel proud because I am a person who has just what I need and not more. And I'm starting new activities like writing how I feel,reading more,and spending more time doing housework around the house." "OK.Let me get this. You have fewer toys,more housework,and you feel happier?" "Well, it's not that the housework is fun ,But I do it with my parents. We talk and connect while we are doing it, so that is the fun.And we've been doing more activities together, like reading aloud at night. And on weekends,we have conversations or go out together, instead of my dad being at his computer,my mom cleaning and me playing with my toys." Question: After Aaron's parents got rid of some of their stuff,they _ . Options: A: hoped Aaron wouldn't do it B: decided to buy some new stuff C: found it was good for them D: felt upset and wanted it back

Article: 351 Gardener Street Los Angeles, CA90031 September 12 Relex Company 37 Pearl Street Clifton, NJ07013 Dear Sir or Madam: A year ago I bought a Relex camera second hand. It's a SW 705 model, and it's about five years old. Here's my problem: The light metre was fine when I bought the camera, but now it isn't working and my pictures are coming out too dark. I checked the batteries, and they are still good. I took the camera to some repair shops, but they said they couldn't repair it because the model is too old and they don't have the necessary part. Do you have the parts for this model in stock? If so, could I send you the camera for repairs? How much would the repairs cost? I'm going to buy your new SW800 model in about six months, but I would still like to fix this old one. Thank you very much. Sincerely yours Sarah H, McDaniel Question: Sarah plans to get a new camera, _ . Options: A: so she doesn't need her old one B: and she wants Relex to give it to her for free C: and she wants to send the old one to her friend D: but she still wants her old one repaired

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Going to a new school can be difficult, but this passage will help you in the beginning. Here is something to help you to fit in . First, take a day to enjoy your school. You won't fit in at school if you don't know the school. Ask for a school map. Try to get to know every corner of your new school. A good school handhook can be of great help. But to make it easy, ask the people near you where something is--tell people that you are new when you need help. Be nice to everyone. Be nice to everyone, the young or the old, because they might just be your next teacher or friend. Get to know your teachers and pay attention in class. Teachers always pay attention to new students, Talk to them and find out more about them. Never test their limits --don't go too far, or you may end up getting into trouble You need to make friends. Talk to different people. Be yourself and don't lie. This is YOUR school now, take a chance on being who you weren't at your old school. Join a few clubs or sports teams and make more friends in this way. Be yourself and be polite. Don't worry too much about what people think of you. Be true, be yourself, and be nice to everyone, no matter how mean (unfriendly) they may seem at first. It's often the "girl/boy that I didn't like at my new school" that ends up being my friend after a little while. But then again, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself if it's very clear that you should. Work hard to fit in while still being yourself. The first few weeks are always hard, but you'll soon get used to it. Question: The passage is mainly about _ . Options: A: how to fit in when at a new school B: how to make friends at a new school C: how to enjoy the beauty of the school D: how to be yourself at a new school
