I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A rich man was riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man. "What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?" "This is a fig tree, sir." He said. "A fig tree?" The rich man was very surprised. "Why, how old are you, may I ask?" "I am ninety years old this year." "What ?" cried the man. "You are ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it will take years to give fruit. You certainly don't hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree." The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, "Tell me , sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy?" "Sure , why do you ask this question?" the man asked. "Then tell me this,"he said. "Who planted the fig tree?" "Why-why? I don't know." "You see, sir. Our forefather planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me." The rich man was quiet and said, "You are right, my good man. We should do something for the people after us. Thank you very much." The rich man rode away. Question: Who was he planting the trees for? Options: A: For himself B: For the rich man C: For his friends D: For the people after him.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples. 1." What's the matter?" "I went to a party last night, so I..." 2."I feel so tired these days." "I think you'd better..." 3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most..." You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing" is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English. Question: Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is _ . Options: A: "I think you'd better have a good rest and take good care of yourself." B: "I think you'd better have something to drink." C: "I think you'd better get some help from your friends." D: "I think you'd better to be more careful."
