Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: An eight-year-old boy named Liangliang liked watching cartoons every day instead of doing his homework, so his mother stopped him from watching cartoons. Liangliang called the police to take his mother away--such a "good reason" to call the police. Most people would just laugh it off. However, it shows that something is wrong with our education. It rings alarm to our Chinese parents to think about it. Parents should ask themselves why they're so angry when their kids want to watch cartoons instead of doing homework. Kids are supposed to be simple and naughty . They can just ask their kids to do things they expect them to do. Schoolwork is important but a healthy childhood is much more important. If they push their kids too hard, the kids will not listen to them. Instead, parents should spend some time talking to their kids and help them grow in a good way. It's also a good way to help parents themselves to grow, too. In China, lots of parents care more about scores than any other things. They hope their kids can be top students and go to the top colleges. Curriculum Reformation is coming though, and it would bring some changes to our schools. It's also time for parents to change their minds to reduce pressure on their kids and help them to grow happily and naturally. Question: According to the passage, if parents push their kids too hard, _ . - the kids will be more careful - the kids will not follow them - the kids will get better grades - the kids will grow in a good way
the kids will not follow them

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well, milk may work in the same way! Milk is the natural food for mammalian babies. It helps them grow strong because it is rich in protein , calcium and vitamins. Milk can also help you sleep better because it calms you down. But remember to drink milk with care. Find out how old the milk is. Make sure it is fresh and hasn't gone bad. Don't drink milk when your stomach is empty. Eat some bread or corn at the same time. That'll help you take in more protein and vitamins. Doctors say teens need at least 500ml of milk a day. That's two or three cups. Milk-drinking started long ago, as early as 6,000-8,000BC. At that time people started to keep cows, sheep and goats to get their milk. Of course what you drink today isn't that fresh from the cow. People cool the fresh milk down to 40C to stop the bacteria growing. In factories, milk is pasteurized to stop it growing bad. After disinfections and packaging, it goes to the supermarkets. Yoghourt also comes from milk. People make some special bacteria to change the taste of milk and make the nutrients in it easier for people to take in. Maybe that's why it's getting more popular with people! Question: Milk helps people grow strong because it is rich in _ . - Calcium - protein - vitamins - A, B and C
(A).
A, B and C
