Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: One of the requirements of every graduation ceremony speaker is that they offer some advice. Well, get ready, here it comes. Soon you will be leaving the company of those who think they have all the answers -your professors, instructors and counselors-and going out into what we like to call the real world. In time you will meet up with other people who think they have all the answers. These people are called bosses. My advice is: humor them. A little later you'll meet additional people who think they have all the answers. These are called spouses . My advice is: humor them, too. And of all goes well, in a few years you will meet still another group of people who think they have all the answers. These are called children. Humor them. Life will go on, your children will grow up, go to school and someday they could be taking part in a graduation ceremony just like this one. And who knows, the speakers responsible for handing out good advice might be you. Halfway through your speech, the graduate sitting next to your daughter will lean over and ask, "Who is that woman up there who thinks she has all the answers?" Well, thanks to the reasonable advice you are hearing today and that I hope you will all pass on, she will be able to say, "That is my mother. Humor her." Question: Among the people mentioned who think they have all the answers, which of the following are not referred to? Options: A: teaching staff B: company staff members C: recreational and sports person D: family members

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: "Happiness isn't just feeling good.It's good for you and for society.Happy people are more successful, have better relationships, are healthier and live longer,"said Ed Diener, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois. Beyond your genes Sonja, a professor of psychology at University of California Riverside, analyzed studies on identical twins and concluded that happiness is 50 percent genetic, 40 percent intentional and 10 percent circumstantial. "Your circumstances-where you live, your health, your work, your marriage-can be tough to change .But most people are surprised that circumstances don't account for as much of their happiness as they think,"she said. Life circumstances don't result in continuous happiness, she says, because we adapt.That new car, promotion or house feels great at first.Then we get used to it. Keeping that good feeling requires something else: control of how you act and think. Happiness definition To gain happiness, you need to understand what happiness is. Martin Seligman, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, says happiness is the pursuit of engaging and meaningful activities. By "engaging", he means when we get so absorbed in what we are doing that we lose track of time."Meaningful" would be using what you are best at to serve others or to participate in a cause that's bigger than yourself. "Your purpose doesn't have to be giant," says psychologist Dan Baker. "If you'reyou're your purpose can be getting into the college of your choice.When you're a parent, it can be getting your kids off to school safely and prepared for each day.

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: His name is James,but people call him Rocky.The name fits.He's big,over six feet tall,and he's tough when he needs to be.James "Rocky" Robinson lives and works in New York City's BedfordStuyvesant district,one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the United States.Yet it is here in BedStuy that he is saving lives and reviving a community. In 1966,when Rocky was twentysix years old,his sevenyearold niece was struck by a car on the street of BedStuy.Had someone at the scene known first aid or CPR,she might have lived.But by the time she reached a hospital,she was dead. His niece's unnecessary death was one reason why Rocky became a paramedic .Working for the Emergency Medical Service of New York City,he realized that more than half the city's emergency calls came from highcrime areas.According to Rocky,residents of crimeplagued minority neighborhoods like BedStuy sometimes had to wait as long as 26 minutes after calling 911 for an ambulance while calls in richer white communities were answered _ . Rocky decided to find out more about the problem.His research showed that the richer communities had organized their own ambulance corps to improve city services because the city was overwhelmed with calls."If that's the key to success,"he told his friend and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) colleague,Joe Perez,"we'll start our own corps in BedStuy!" In 1988,Rocky had no idea that he and Joe would be attempting to establish the first minorityrun ambulance service in the country,or just how creative he would have to be to overcome the difficulty.The pair's first challenge was to find a location for the headquarters.They took over an abandoned building that was commonly used by drug dealers.Because there was no electricity or running water (except for the leaks in the roof),the two men worked during daylight hours.They used a twoway radio to receive emergency calls. Although they could make do with their new headquarters,Rocky and Joe still lacked the most important component of an ambulance... Question: James' sevenyearold niece would have been saved if _ .
