Climbing isn't new to this schoolgirl. She took her first trip up a mountain in her dad's backpack when she was just six months old! "One of the best parts about this climb was Scafell Pike," said Rebecca. "I've never walked in the dark before, and it was fun seeing all the sheep eyes as they ran around in the dark." Rebecca brought along food, water, a medical kit , a hat, a map, a lamp, a camera to take photos and even a mobile phone in case something went wrong. Along the way, she and her dad had fun by making up mountain songs. "All my friends like to stay inside playing computer games, but I like being outdoors best," says Rebecca.

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Very few people enjoy exams. I don't, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I'm not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don't need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this? Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills--how to work when you are in the exam. Good students don't wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don't leave it till then. If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you're studying, then, when it is over, you'll be able to say, "What a good exam that was!" Take a short rest during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it won't remember well. Work at the time when you know you'll work at your best. If you're studying in the evening, don't go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be "going round and round"--thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things. If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don't be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them. Question: According to the passage, if you feel bad, you'd better _ . Options: A: take a short rest B: tell someone about your worries C: walk or get exercise D: keep busy working and forget your worries
A: B

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Six Chinese Characters Dear students, our country has a long history. Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are particularly loved by Chinese people. Here are the top six lucky ones. Please note we use "pinyin" here because "pinyin" is the Chinese spelling system for the characters. For example, "fu" is the "pinyin" for good luck in Chinese. "pinyin" "fu" is only the phonic ( ) part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck "fu", you must read the Chinese character because "fu" also represents other Chinese characters that sound the same. 1. "fu" means blessing, good fortune, good luck. Chinese character "fu" is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year. It is often displayed upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down"fu" means good luck comes since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for "come". 2. "Iu" means prosperity. It is used to mean official's salary( ) in feudal ( ) China. 3. "shou" means longevity. Chinese character "shou" also means life, age or birthday. 4. "xi" is happiness. The doubled character "xi" means double happiness. It is usually displayed everywhere at Chinese weddings. 5. "cai" is wealth or money. Chinese often say "money can make a ghost turn a millstone". It is to say money really can do a lot of things. But, still-money can't buy everything. 6. "he" means harmomous. People's harmony is an important part of Chinese culture. When you have harmomous relations with others, things will be a lot easier for you. Question: Which sentence is right according to the passage? Options: A: Money is a ghost. B: Money can buy everything. C: Money is everything. D: Money isn't everything.
