input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was traveling in France. Once he was going by train to Dijon. That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep, so he asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper. "I'll probably protest loudly when you try to wake me up," he said to the conductor, "but do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway." Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up, it was night-time and the train was in Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him."I have never been so angry in all my life," Mark Twain said. The conductor looked at him calmly.

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. (CNN) -- He may not have started from the top of the mountain but it was still a dream downhill for Patrick Kueng as he skied to victory at the World Cup event in Wengen.

The course at the Swiss Alpine resort is renowned as the longest downhill course on the World Cup calendar at 4.4 kilometers (2.12 miles) long but high winds Saturday meant the skiers had to start their runs lower down the slope.

Victory still tasted sweet for Switzerland's Kueng, who beat Austrian Hannes Reichelt and Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal with a time of one minute 32.66 seconds.

"Since I was a kid, I've been watching this race," the 30-year-old told reporters. "My first dream was to race it and my second dream was to win it.

"In 2006 I had a terrible accident in which I broke one leg and broke the ankle in my other leg. I ended up in a wheelchair and my thoughts did turn to quitting.

"It was a very tough time, but when I decided to continue, it was nothing but 100 per cent. Eventually I got a World Cup spot and now I'm here!"

Keung has never represented Switzerland at a Winter Olympics and is hoping that two World Cup victories this season will be enough to book his place on the plane to the Sochi Games next month.

input: Make use of the article to answer the questions. Bob and Sue were in class. Bob was listening to the teacher. Sue was looking out the window, thinking about what she would do during recess. The teacher was writing on the chalkboard as she spoke. She was very happy to be teaching the children more vocabulary words to use. Then they could read more books. The teacher thought reading was always a very fun activity. While thinking, Sue planned how she would climb the tall tree in the playground. It had many low, thick branches. She wanted to see what the yard looked like from up above. She did not think reading was a very fun activity at all. She would rather be outside. Bob took lots of notes on what the teacher was saying. He also copied down everything she wrote. He was very proud of his notes. If the other students ever needed help, he was glad give it to them. He thought reading the books people his age told him to read boring. However, he loved borrowing books from his older sister. Those books were exciting to him. He wanted to learn more vocabulary so he could better understand the stories in his older sister's books. Soon enough, the bell rang. Sue practically ran out the door on her way to the tree.
