I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The NSA and GCHQ are tapping popular smart phone apps such as Angry Birds to gather the enormous amounts of very personal data those bits of software collect--including age, gender, marital status, income, education level and more, according to new reports from the New York Times and The Guardian. Citing secret documents provided by Edward Snowden, former NSA staff, the reports detail efforts to gain data collection from cell phone carriers and smart phones by tapping into "leaky" apps themselves. Both spy agencies showed a particular interest in Google Maps, which is accurate to within a few yards or better in some locations and would clearly pass along data about the area where phone owner is. "It effectively means that anyone using Google Maps on a smartphone is working in support of a GCHQ system," reads a secret 2008 report by the NSA's sister spy agency, according to the New York Times. More surprising is the wide range of apps that the agencies search for data, including innocent-seeming apps such as Angry Birds. One document in particular from GCHQ listed what information can be found from which apps, mentioning Android apps but suggesting the same data was available from the iPhone platform. Angry Birds maker Rovio Entertainment of Finland said it had no knowledge of any NSA or GCHQ programs for tapping into its users' data. "Rovio doesn't have any previous knowledge of this matter, and have not been aware of such activity in 3rd party advertising networks," said Saara Bergstrom. "Nor do we have any involvement with the organizations you mentioned." Mobile photos uploaded to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter appear to be a particularly rich source of information for the spy agencies as well. Metadata in the photos is briefly available. The NSA and GCHQ are able to tap into that metadata to collect a wealth of key data points about a person's life. "NSA does not profile everyday Americans as it carries out its foreign intelligence mission," the agency told the Times in response to... Question: American and British spy agencies were both particularly interested in the information gathered from _ . Options: A: Google Maps B: Twitter C: Angry Birds D: Facebook

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: What's the meaning of "dark horse"? It's someone who wins when no one expects it. Han Xiaopeng took China's first gold on snow. He became an Olympic "dark horse" by winning the gold medal in men's freestyle aerial skiing at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone in the Olympics! "I never thought this would happen," said the 23-year-old. "I feel like I'm in a dream." It's China's second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han's gold was the country's first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China's Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US. That Han's win was unexpected doesn't mean that he didn't work hard. Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent . The coach, Yang Er'qi, said Han had the agility and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn't swim, skate or ski. But he wasn't afraid of the high platform and kept on training. Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. "I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly behind me, helping me through," he recalled. Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics. Question: Where did Han Xiaopeng take China's first gold on snow? Options: A: In China B: In Italy. C: In America. D: In Australia.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I had not really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. This trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no real good would come out of it. This is my annual "Guilt Trip". I got tickets to fly there on "WISH-I-HAD" airlines. It was an extremely short flight. I chose to carry my bag myself all the way. It was loaded down with a thousand memories of "what might have been". No one greeted me as I entered the Regret City International Airport. I spoke international language because people from all over the world came to this dismal town. As I arrived at my destination and checked into the "Last Resort" Hotel, I noticed that they would be hosting the year's most important event--the annual "Pity Party". I wasn't going to miss that great social occasion. Many of the town's leading citizens would be there. First, there would be the "Done" family; "Should Have", "Would Have" and "Could Have". Then came the "I Had" family. Of course, the "Opportunities" family; "Missed and Lost" would be present. The biggest family there would be the "Yesterday's". There were far too many of them to count, but each one would have a very sad story to share. I went to this depressing party. And, as usual, I became very depressed. But as I thought about all of the stories of failures brought back from the past, it occurred to me that this trip and "pity parties" could be cancelled by ME! I started to realize that I did not have to be there. I can't change yesterday, but I do have the power to make today a wonderful day. I can be happy, as well as being encouraging. Knowing this, I left Regret City immediately. Am I sorry for mistakes I've made in the past? YES! But there is no way to undo them. So, if you're planning a trip back to Regret City, please cancel it now. Instead, take a trip to a nice place called "Starting Again". Question: What would be the best title for the passage? Options: A: Starting Again B: Regret City C: Wish-I-Had Airline D: Changing Yesterday
