Read the article and select the best answer. Article: A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average ,and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class. What made these average students change so much to become top students?The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude . Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could. Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they'll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, "Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success,and you'll help make him the best he can be." Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said,"Johnny,you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change." The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class,she met with Johnny after school and said,"Johnny, I've heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don't believe a word of it." And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that's the power of our belief and attitude toward children. Question: Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny? Options: A: To let us know how good his new teacher was. B: To show the importance of encouragement. C: To show that the boy was clever enough. D: To let us know the famous boy.

I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the laziest mother in the world! For example, one day, some of my friends would come to my home. My bedroom was really untidy. Books were all over the floor, and I didn't make the bed. So I asked my mum to help me clean it, but she still said, "Do it yourself, my daughter." Because of my "lazy mum", I have to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents do housework. I even have to go to hospital by myself. It is very hard to do everything well on my own, but I have learnt a lot. As time goes by, I come to understand my mum. She makes me clever and hard-working. How great she is! A good mother is worth 100 teachers! Don't you think so? Question: When you have something difficult to do, you should _ .

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: On October 31st, 2015, the official Xinhua news agency reported that China would allow two children for every couple. That meant that the country's one-child policy came to an end. To control the population growth, China started a policy of one child per couple in the 1970s. Why does China decide to relax the policy now? In fact, China began relaxing the policy in January, 2014, allowing couples to have a second baby if the mother or father was an only child. The change was thought as a major liberalization of the family planning of over thirty years. But new figures in January, 2015 suggested that fewer people than expected would like to have a second baby. Health officials said that there were about 11 million couples under the new policy. However, only 1 million couples applied to have a second child. Some couples said, "Two kids? Thanks but no." The influence of one-child policy seems hard to go in a short time. China's government has said that China will become the country with the most old people in the world in just 15 years, with more than 400 million people over the age of 60. And in the one-child families, when the only child grows up and gets married to another only child, they two have to take care of two old couples, the stress seems really heavy. To solve the problem of the _ population, one-child policy isn't suitable any more, and two-child policy is needed and necessary. Question: According to the passage, we know that _ . Options: A: China started one-child policy in the 1980s B: two-child policy isn't suitable any more now C: China will have the most old people in the world in just 15 years D: China will have less than 400 million people over the age of 60 in 15 years
