Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: China introduced its so-called one-child policy in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth . It's also been against for forcing parents to make difficult personal choices , or in some cases face huge fines . The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although there were some exceptions , for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children. The new rule says that if either parent is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own. One reason for the change is economics . In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single child could not afford to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that. Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights . Question: Where can you get this news _ . Options: A: on TV B: from your books C: from a magazine D: in the newspaper
Answer: A
Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Bad Hobbies It's easier to walk downhill than to climb uphill. So it is easier to fall into bad habits than into good ones. Bad habits do not form suddenly. They form little by little, so you don't realize their danger. Schoolboys and schoolgirls first pick up little bad habits at school or on the streets. When they cannot do their homework, they copy from their classmates. If they see bigger boys or girls smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. If they see their friends gambling ,they want to gamble. When they get older, the habits become stronger and stronger. Then they can no longer give them up. From copying, they learn to steal; from gambling, they learn to cheat. At last, no one believes in them. It is very important to stop bad habits as soon as they begin! My son is eight years old. He is now in Grade Three. When he was five, he started school. Every evening we have homework battles. Three afternoons a week he has activities after school. By the time we get home, homework is the last thing he feels like doing. The other two afternoon, he gets home early and we argue about whether he should do his homework straight away, or if he should have some time to rest and play first. When my son finally sits down to do his homework, he seems to want me there helping him all the time. I do want to help him, but I am sure that he can do it by himself. In fact, I often end up telling him the answers to most of his homework. He has fallen into the habit of depending on me to do this. He never wants to use his own brain. My wife and I have given up all our outdoor activities. We sit with him when he does his homework. We want to train him form some good learning habits. But what should we do? Question: From gambling, they learn to _ . Options: A: steal B: smoke C: cheat D: fight
A: C
