I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Mom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty, I'd have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me. One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, I'd drunk the entire container! My mom call my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain ------ I had diabetes, which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level. My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can't eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates. I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin before the meals to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood-sugar level often. I'm always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn't keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court ------ I just keep some juice boxes around to _ my blood sugar if I need to. It's a lot of work ------ and not a lot of fun ------ to keep track of everything, but I've gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn't sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn't a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me. Question: What did the author do after knowing she had diabetes? Options: A: She stopped playing basketball in the gym. B: She controlled her blood-sugar level strictly. C: She stopped eating food with natural sugar. D: She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: This afternoon, my office sent out over 34,000 e-mail notifications to high school seniors who were waiting to learn whether they would be invited to spend the next four years at Stanford. Even though I have been in the admission field for over 30 years, I still feel the pain of the many exceptional youths who were not offered places. Given that todays teens already have enough pressure in their lives, I wish to impart three messages to any particularly disappointed parents. First, it's all relative. While the number admitted into the undergraduate class has remained unchanged for years, Stanford, like many of its peer schools, has had a record number of total applicants more than 42,000. Regardless of arguments over whether too much preference is given to one category over another, thousands of students are going to be turned away, and there is no doubt that the vast majority of them could have met the demands of a Stanford education. I wish there were a formula to explain who is accepted and who isn't, but the decision-making is as much art as it is science. Each class is a symphony with its own distinct composition and sound. The final roster is an effort to create harmony , and that means that some extraordinary bass players don't get a chair. What's more, even among my staff there are legitimate differences about applicants. Second, celebrate the bigger picture. Most of the applications I reviewed are truly remarkable. The transition from high school to college is a turning point, and it's more important to focus on how a young adult is moving on to a new stage than where that stage happens to be. You should mark the success of your children and rejoice in the excitement that the next four years will bring. And that leads to my final point: education is what a student makes of it. Of course, certain schools have resources that others don't, but they all offer opportunities to learn and to grow. Thousands of applicants who arent accepted to Stanford go on to have fulfilling lives.... Question: What is the main purpose of the article? Options: A: To congratulate those who have been admitted into Stanford. B: To tell parents that there is no need to feel down if their children werent admitted to Stanford. C: To inform us what kinds of applicants are more likely to be accepted by Stanford. D: To inform us of the characteristics of a Stanford education.
Ans: B
I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: In today's world, English is the most wildly used language. It is our duty to learn English in the new situation of the reform and opening to the outside world. How can we master the English language ? I'd like to give you some good advice. First, get interested in it. I enjoy listening to foreign friends talking when I was a child. At the same time I watched the English programme Follow Me on TV. From then on, I kept on learning English. The more I learned, the more progress I made. Second, practice makes perfect. Many people study English very hard, but they are very shy to speak it in public, for they are afraid of making mistakes. _ A native English speaker makes mistakes sometimes, too. Third, the beginners should be encouraged to pay attention to idioms. The English language has many idioms. For example, you should say " He is as strong as a cow." Question: The writer wants to tell us _ . Options: A: the importance of learning English B: the new situation of the reform and opening to the outside world C: some good ideas on how to master English D: the wide use of the English language
