Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: In modern society, people can hardly do without mobile phone or computer. The youth of today are even more looking forward to Apple Corp's products. The iPad is an Apple tablet computer. The device sits somewhere between a laptop and a smart phone, according to Apple's chief executive, Steven P. Jobs, and does certain things better than both of them, like surfing the Web, reading e-books and playing videos. The iPad went on sale on April 3, 2010, and Apple said it had shipped 500,000 units in the first week. The handheld device puts Apple on a direct collision course with the Kindle from Amazon, which Mr. Jobs ever considered as pioneering the category. It is common knowledge that media companies hope the iPad will finally lead to available ways for them to charge for news, books and other materials. The half-inch thick, 1.5-pound device features a 9.7-inch multi-touch screen and is powered by a customized Apple microchip, which is called A4. It has been designed with an exposed screen and without a camera or separate keyboard. The iPad has the same operating system as the iPhone and also has access to its 140,000 applications. The price of the device starts at $499 for the most basic model, with a Wi-Fi wireless connection. More expensive models with more memory and with 3G wireless access will cost $629 to $829, depending on storage size. Because Apple is attempting to popularize a new kind of computing device, acceptance among consumers is expected to be slower than with previous Apple devices. Critics assume that some buyers are waiting for future versions of the iPad to appear, perhaps with a camera or USB ports . On its first day on sale, iPad users downloaded more than one million applications from the company's AppStore and more than 250,000 electronic books from its iBookstore. A new wave of apps is expected in response to the iPad. For an application developer, having an application accepted for a highly desired Apple product means reaching a passionate group of consumers. The potential... Question: Which of the following is NOT true about the iPad? - It is expected to benefit media companies. - It has the fastest Apple microchip. - It has a lot of similar features to a laptop. - It has a virtual keyboard.
It has the fastest Apple microchip.

(Question)
Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A recent British study examined the salaries and jobs of people who spent time enjoying the arts when growing up. They found those who enjoyed the arts from an early age had better jobs and higher salaries than those who didn't. What's the link ?How could visiting a museum, enjoying a symphony ,or improving painting skills lead to career success? Other studies have found that students who study the arts exercise their reasoning ability. This skill helps with problem-solving. Creative and critical-thinking abilities are also developed through art study. When faced with a real-life challenge ,these skills can be put to good use. The best kind of art excites our imagination and makes us think. Paintings aren't just pretty pictures. They tell stories about the experience of the painter. See Michelangelo's art, and you will taste the power of his faith in God. Look at the world from Picasso's point of view, and you see everyday life in new ways. In Shakespeare's plays you'll find lessons about character and morality .Chinese poet Li Bai brings the wonder of nature's beauty to every reader. The arts show and explain the world beyond our own personal knowledge. When we look beyond ourselves, we can appreciate the experience of people from different walks of life. The arts help develop the ability to see things from many different points of view. These things will help us better communicate and cooperate with other people. Question: If a person enjoys arts, he or she may _ . - see things from different points of view - deal with problems worse than others - be difficult to comminute with others - prefer to stay at home rather than go out
(Answer)
see things from different points of view

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Remind children that bad things don't last. It may sound simple, but the message is extremely important. "Children often don't have the experience to know that when something bad happens---they lose an important game or their best friend lets them down---it's not the end of the world," explains Nancy Leffert, a senior research scientist with the Research Institute, an American adolescents and children's research group. "They think their bad feelings will last for ever, or that one failure will ruin everything." Unfortunately, that kind of thinking discourages motivation . "If a child believes that the cause of her upset is lasting, or that nothing she does will make a difference, it decreases her ability to keep on trying." says Dorothy Rich, president of the MegaSkills Education Center of the Home and School Institute, based in Washington. Any time you can help your child see that a situation is not lasting, that a result can be changed, or that one opinion does not reflect reality, you give her reason to hope. Case in point: "When my daughter Kathy was eight, art was one of her favorite subjects," says Beth, a mother of two. "Then she got an art teacher who gave a great deal of praise to one student and barely noticed the rest. Kathy was ready to give up until I explained to her, "Never stop doing your best just because one person doesn't give you praise." Beth had to repeat the advice often, and finally her daughter got the message. "Kathy is 12 now, and art is still one of her strongest subjects." Question: Which of the following can a parent say to his children to show that one's opinion does not reflect reality? - "If you call your friend and apologize, he won't stay mad at you." - "Go ahead. Don't care what other people think." - "You have lost today, but you can try again tomorrow." - "That may be what your teacher thinks, but I see it differently."
Ans: "That may be what your teacher thinks, but I see it differently."

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A blue hole is a flooded sea cave with a hole that opens up at the land's surface. These cave systems form in carbonate rock, often on islands. Some blue holes have very special rock formations and water chemistry. Far below sea level, they contain some of the harshest environments on Earth, with no oxygen and no light. Yet these areas are filled with life forms that have adapted to the extreme conditions. Information gathered from these blue holes is helping scientists to increase their understanding of biology, archaeology and geology. But exploring these blue hole environments brings danger as well as discovery. Blue holes get their name from the color1 some have when seen from the air. The color1 is usually a reflection of the sky on the water. But not all of these cave systems have blue surfaces. Some contain dark or muddy water. Blue holes are the result of erosion in which water breaks down rock. Rain falling thousands of years ago contained chemicals which slowly wore away at the limestone landmass. These holes were later filled with sea water as the sea level changed. The rising and falling of sea levels and the mixture of salt and fresh water further wore away at these cave formations. Blue holes are vertical caves. But they can also have horizontal cave formations that may be hundreds of meters long. These flooded cave systems can be found in the ocean, or they can be found inland. Ocean caves are affected by tides, so they always have water movement. But blue holes on land are very still. They have several layers of water, chemicals, and bacteria. The top layer of fresh water comes from rainfall. This layer acts like a cap on top of the layered mixture, and keeps out oxygen from the atmosphere. The fresh water floats on a denser layer of saltwater. Underneath this is a layer of poisonous hydrogen sulfide, produced by bacteria living in the water. Underneath this layer is anoxic seawater -- water that does not contain any oxygen. Underwater caves are probably one of the least explored ecosystems... Question: According to the Passage, blue holes _ . - are now a popular choice for tourists - are flooded caves found mostly on islands - have appeared as rocks pile up year by year - can give off bright blue light deep in the caves
