(Question)
I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: About a year ago, if you had asked who Dinara Safina was the answer would have been: "She is Marat. Safin's younger sister." Back then she was overshadowed by her wonder brother. But now she has made a name for herself: the world No. 1 player in women's tennis. The 22-year-old Russian. will overtake Serena Williams of the prefix = st1 /USfor top ranking on April 20. "Before, every place I go, I am Marat's sister. Nothing else," she told New York Times. "I always wanted to be myself, and now finally the results are coming, and people can know me as Dinara Satina." Safina has made it to two great event finals, in the 2008 French and in this year's Australian Open, and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games. Clearly; family isn't the only connection Safina's and her brother share. Both of their DNA burns with competitive fire. Satin has held the distinction for years of being a hot tempered player on Court. When he lost his temper, he would break a racket . Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother. A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as "mad as a snake". The Sydney Morning Herald, during the Australian Open, summed up Safina's volatile emotional state with the headline: "Satina goes from basket case to top of the world." It's not rare for a family to have two top tennis players. Safina's father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach. "I had no choice but to become a tennis player, but I don't mind being a tennis player," Safina said. From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court, her size. She is 1.82 meters tall and Weighs 70 kg. But it is hard work that led her to her recent Success. "I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I deserve the honor of being world No. 1," she said.

B: After she won this year's Australian Open, Dinara Safina cried. C: Too nervous at first, but Safina finally gained confidence and won.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It all began with a stop at a red light. Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006 . While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other. "Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal."Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered her parents about _ insisting that she wanted to do something. "What do you want to do?" her mom responded. "Sell our house?" Warning! _ . Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home. Eventually, that's what the family did. The project --crazy, impetuous and utterly inspiring -- is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: "The Power of Half." It's a book that, frankly, I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street. At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference -- for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a column a week ago, it described neurological evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction. The Salwens' experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness. Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house. Question: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? Options: A: Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap. B: Unselfishness has nothing to do with people's primary satisfaction. C: Hannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house. D: The writer's children asked him to sell their house.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: "Can I see my baby?" asked the happy new mother. The bundle was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she held her breath-the baby had been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby's hearing was perfect except his appearance. One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother's arms,. he cried out bitterly, "A boy, a big boy ... called me-a f - freak. " She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks. He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president but for that. He developed a gift for literature and music. The boy's father had a talk with the family doctor. Could nothing be done? "I believe we could transplant on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated , " the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would' make such a sacrifice for a young man. Two years went by. Then, " You ' re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it' s a secret." said the father. The operation was brilliantly successful. His talents blossomed into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. "But I must know! " he urged his father. "Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him. " "I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know .... not yet. " The years kept the secret, but the day did come ... one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother' s casket . Slowly and tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish - brown hair to let out the secret. Question: What moral lesson can we draw from this reading? Options: A: Real love lies in what is done unknown rather than what is done known B: It is up to parents to help their children heart and soul. C: True beauty lies only in the heart not in appearance. D: It is a virtue for young generations to learn to be grateful.
