I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Fortunately, I've been able to avoid the traffic jam brought by presidential visits because ! don't have to commute anywhere. Barack Obama visited Los Angeles recently which paralyzed large sections of a city and you could almost hear the collective pain of unhappy commuters. I am among the l0 percent of people in the US that regularly work from home. You could include Obama among them, although I suspect his working area in the White House is better-equipped than my small space on to the back of the garage. He also probably doesn't have a problem with three little kids interrupting his phone calls or bursting into his office at inappropriate moments. Every day there they are, knocking on my window and peering inside, as if looking at an animal in a zoo. Once, a telephone interview I was doing with the former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was interrupted by my older son, then three years old, and completely naked "Ahaaar!" he shouted to my face. "What was that?" said Schwarzenegger. I stammered something about the joys of children and silently managed to shoo the boy out of the room without putting down the phone. I shouldn't complain. I no longer have to stand having someone's armpit being pressed into my face on a crowded train and home status means ! should be a more productive worker although working from home could also lead to "avoiding duties from home". I would argue that a bigger problem is going nuts: Staring at the same walls every day and not going anywhere can do strange things to a person. I realized I had to get out of the house at least once a day to avoid turning into an unshaven and unshoweredrecluse who was still in his pyjamas at dinner time. I would work for an hour or so in a local coffee shop but, like most routine, this became boring because I would constantly see the same faces: Screenwriters poring over screenplays, elderly women heading to the yoga studio next door and hordes of overweight middle-aged male cycling by. And yet here I am several years later, still... Question: The whole passage suggests that _ Options: A: the author has to work from home B: any routine definitely means boredom C: the author is a humorous person D: working from home contributes to avoiding duties

Ques:I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhuanet)--- A new hotel concept has been realized in a village in Northern Sweden, which aims to make the simple treehouse become a world-class destination for travellers. The Treehotel, located in a place called Harads, will consist of four rooms when it opens on July 17th: the Cabin, the Blue Cone, the Nest, and the Mirrorcube. Two additional rooms are scheduled to open in October. The long term vision is even more _ . "Our goal in five years is to have 24 rooms from 24 different architects," says Treehotel co-founder Kent Lindvall. The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The Mirrorcube which stands four meters high and four meters wide, and the walls of which are made with a mirrored glass, has drawn widespread attention as it will be attached to a single tree. "It's an interesting building. You can't find anything else like this in the world today. It's unique ," says Lindvall. "Everything will reflect in it---the trees, the birds, the clouds and the sun in the forest. So it could hardly be seen in the forest. This is untouched forest and we want to keep it the same way." Lindvall says the Treehotel's vision proves a powerful draw, with enquiries coming in from far and wide. "I think what's exciting here is that we're just 60 km below the Arctic Circle. It means there's a good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and of course to have the midnight sun in the summer." The motto of the Treehotel is "Feel Free in a Tree" and expense will cost up to about $555.50 for two guests in the Cube, which is designed to hold up to four guests. Question: Which of the following statements is TRUE? Options: A: The Treehotel is ideally situated to enjoy the natural wonders. B: The Treehotel is a great base to explore the many local places of interest. C: Travellers can have a relaxed holiday at a reasonable price in the Treehotel.
