I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities. The word _ was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses. Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life. At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using spray paint . Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area. And it also allowed them to work quickly. At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. It isn't allowed by many local governments in America. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books. Question: What's the article mainly about? Options: A: The meaning of graffiti. B: Different expressions of graffiti. C: Different attitudes towards graffiti. D: The history and the development of graffiti.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I was on the escalator in a market. There was an old man who was about five or six people in the front of me. People behind him were all in a hurry and saw him as a rock. The old man knew these clearly and tried hard to step aside. I remember...Sometimes when walking or driving behind an older person, I've gotten impatient and upset. "I'm sorry. Please forgive me!" said the old man, "I don't mean to hold you up." He then tried his best to get off the escalator. I suddenly saw this in a whole new light. I felt sick to my stomach. The old man was apologizing to everyone, when we should have helped him to calm his fears. One by one, people went around him quickly. By the time I got to him, I asked, "Sir, can I help you?" The man thought for a while, then said, "Well, yes, thank you!" I placed my hand under his left arm and walked away from the rush of people quickly. "So what are you shopping for, sir?" "Oh, today is Mother's Day. I want to buy something for my neighbor. She's a single mother and she is always so nice to me." he said, stopping suddenly as he searched his pocket. "Oh, it's here! I always carry them with me," he said. Then he took out some business cards and handed me one which read: "John Smith. Friend to all...enemy to no one! I said a prayer today and you were the answer. Thank you!" "That's for you," he said. "Thanks for stopping to help an old man." "My friend, you helped me. I discovered why I was unhappy with the world. Now I know how to solve the problem. No more with me!" Question: From the passage we can see that _ . Options: A: we should always help old people B: we should share our enjoyment with our friends C: it was valuable to make friends with the old man D: if we are kind to others, we will be happy in our life

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: You know what it' s like. You' ve just arrived in Washington D. C. after a long journey and all you really want to do is lie down and relax in your hotel room. But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrow's meeting, check your e-mails, and perhaps print out a few- things. And you need to make a few local telephone calls, and one call to your family. And what do you usually get? Your desk is just about big enough for a cup of coffee, and there's no desk lamp~ the stationary is only several pieces of paper and the only pen there doesn't work at all. If you want to print something, you have to go to the Reception ,and when you try to use your cell phone, you find that it won't work in the U. S. A. Well, Harmony Hotel is different.

We can also provide a room for business meetings, even a secretary to take notes. All we ask is a few days' notice. All of our rooms are of the same high standard and we promise not to increase prices in the next twelve months. But book now, because many people are already calling to book rooms, and we'd hate to disappoint you. Harmony--the hotel you've always wanted, but never been able to find before.
