Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Five years ago, I met her in a shopping center. I was walking through the shop when I saw her. Then she came back to my house with me. After that, we became friends. Once she had to go into hospital to have an operation on her leg. I was worried about her and looked after her every day. I made breakfast for her. I was not good at cooking, but she never complained. I also helped her take showers. I have no idea why we can be good friends, because she is quite different from me. I like writing, reading and playing computer games. But she loves outdoor activities. She likes playing balls best. She also loves sleeping.

But her real name is Pixar. This week she turns seven years old. Question: Pixar was _ years old when the writer met her. Options: A: two B: five C: seven D: one

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: In an American classroom, a Chinese girl was asked to answer a question. She stood up and smiled, without making any sound. The American teacher looked at himself and didn't see anything funny. So he asked her the question again. The girl just smiled but said nothing. The teacher was angry. He didn't know that the girl smiled to cover her embarrassment because she wasn't able to answer the question. In a dining room in Beijing, an Englishman was careless and dropped a plate. The Chinese who had seen this began to laugh. The Englishman felt uncomfortable and even got angry. "They are laughing at me," he thought. In fact the Chinese laughed not at the Englishman or his bad luck--whether he is a foreigner or a Chinese. The smile or laughter has several feelings: don't take it so seriously; laugh it off, it's nothing; such things can happen to any of us. Question: What does the writer want to tell us? Options: A: Smile and laughter don't mean the same thing to different people. B: Smile and laughter always bring happiness. C: American people are easy to get angry. D: Chinese students are impolite
