Problem: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: I walked up to the counter. Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose and gray hair on her head. "Excuse me," I said. She looked up. "You're that Clements kid," she said. "I' m Miss Bee. Come closer and let me get a look at you." She pushed her glasses up her nose. "I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store." "I' m not a thief!" I was shocked. I was seven too young to be a thief! "From what I can see you're not much of anything. But I can tell you've got potential." She went back to reading her newspaper. "I need to get these." I said, holding up my list. "So? Go get them." Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door. "I'm not your servant, so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling." I visited Miss Bee several times a week that summer. Sometimes she short-changed me. Other times she overcharged. "That can of beans is only twenty nine cents" I corrected her one afternoon. I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely, and Miss Bee had added 35 cents. She didn't seem embarrassed. She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price. But she ever let me declare victory. All summer long she found ways to play tricks on me. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelve and made me hunt for it all over again. One day before I left, she said, "I know what you think of me, but I don't care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!" Glad I met Miss Bee?Ha! The idea was absurd... Until one day my daughter asked me to finish her math problems. "If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself?" I said. Suddenly, I remembered the lady Miss Bee.

A: Question: It can be learned from the passage that Miss Bee _ .Options:A knew her job was to help every child she metB asked the girl to shop by herself to test her honestyC taught the girl many lessons but she didn't understandD rearranged the shelves to teach the girl to be changeableAnswer:C

Problem: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Dear Jack, Thank you for your congratulations,my congratulations to you! I remember Margaret Field very well--the girl with that wonderful red hair and those beautiful eyes. She was the most popular girl in our college. You're a very lucky fellow and I'm sure you'11 be very happy with her. Brenda and I are very lucky,too. Her father gave us this house as a wedding present,so we don't have to pay rent. The house and furniture are insured already,so I can't help you by giving you that kind of business. I wish I'd known earlier that you were in the insurance business. I'd certainly have asked you to give me a policy for the house and its contents. I'm rather doubtful about the value of life insurance. It's my duty,I know,to see that there will be money for my wife,and later on for the children,in the event of my early death. But I feel that it's wiser to put my money into the shares of good business companies. You say I can get a policy that will provide 50,000 when I'm 65. Yes,but that time is nearly forty years away,and what will 50,000 be worth then?The real value of money has been going down and prices go up a little every year,perhaps only 4%or 5%,but the movement is always up,never down. 50,000 in fifty years from now may be worth only two--thirds or even a half of what it is worth today. Now if I put my savings into the shares of the big oil companies,or aircraft manufacturers,the value of the shares will go up with the rise in costs and prices. So the real value of my money would remain about the same,wouldn't it?I know your answer. You'll say that your life insurance policy provides against my possible death. I've got to balance that possibility against the almost certain fall in the value of money* I'd very much like you to meet Brenda. Can you come for a weekend some time?What about next Saturday?If you can manage it,please let me know which train you're coming by,and I'll meet you at the station. We can have a talk about life insurance and perhaps you'll succeed in making me see...

Problem: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: An English traveler spent a few weeks in Sweden. When he was about to return home,he found that he had only enough money left to get a ticket to England. Thinking the matter over, he decided that as it was only a two days' voyage he could get home without eating anything. So he bought a ticket with that little money he had and went on board the ship. He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell,and when dinner came,he refused to go down to the place where people had their dinner, saying that he did not feel well. The following day he did not get up until breakfast was over, pretending that he had overslept himself. At lunch time, too, he kept out of the way. By the time of dinner,however,he became so hungry that he could even eat paper. "I can't stand this any longer, " he said to himself."I must have something to eat." At the dinner table he ate everything put in front of him.When he was quite full, he felt stronger and at once went to see the waiter. "Bring the bill, " he said to the waiter. "The bill?" said the waiter in surprise. "Yes, " answered the traveler. "There isn't any bill here," said the waiter,"On this ship meals are already included in the ticket."
