I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Swiss International Air lines(SWISS)will introduce daily non-stop flights between Beijing and Zurich. The new service to the financial center of Switzerland is expected to start on Dec.12,2012,which marks an expansion of services for the Chinese market.In May 2008,SWISS already started direct flights to Shanghai. The first flight to Europe has a special price of 2,680 yuan,which does not include taxes and fuel surcharges. "I am delighted the airlines of Switzerland can contribute to growing economic ties between the two countries with new daily flights scheduled,"says SWISS CEO Harry Hohmeister. "We are witnessing a growing demand for tourist travel in both directions." Apart from Shanghai and Hong Kong,Beijing will be the third Chinese destination for SWISS. The new route marks a return to Beijing for SWISS:the airlines previously flew to the Chinese capital as late as June 2003. SWISS will initially operate its new daily non-stop Beijing-Zurich flights with an Airbus A340-300(219 seats)and Airbu: A330-300(236 seats)air-crafts. The modem SWISS business class offers the most suitable comforts since the seats can be adjusted into a two-meter-long bed. Seating firmness and softness can be adjusted thanks to air cushions. With the introduction of the new SWISS service from Beijing,the Lufthansa Group Airlines may attract more Chinese customers when traveling to Europe. SWISS.Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines already connect five Chinese cities with Europe and beyond. This airlines group is the leading European airlines network in the Chinese market. In the summer of 2011,the Lufthansa Group operated 78 weekly flights from China including Hong Kong to Europe.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: As kids spend more time online chatting with friends or researching homework, parents are questioning how the Internet is affecting children's lives, a recent study shows. From 2006 to 2007, the number of parents who think the Internet beneficial to their children declined, according to the study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. But parents don' t see it as a bad influence, either. Amanda Lenhart, a senior researcher said, "Technology is not so magic as to make your child get straight A and improve all aspects of your life. As you grow to know it, you realize its power and disadvantages." But as with the emergence of television in American homes in the 1950s and 1960s, the Internet continues to cause strong reactions from parents. "There's too much garbage online for kids," said Patrick Thomas as he picked up his 15-year-old son from school. "It's like a kid walking down the street. He's got to watch out. He never knows who he might come across." Thomas used to have Internet service at home but got rid of it a year ago because he was worried about viruses infecting his computer and strangers taking advantage of his son Zachary. He has purchased a series of educational software to help him with his schoolwork. "It was a great place to explore, and the information you gathered was great," Zachary said. "Now it's dangerous." But Zachary Thomas still sees benefits from going online and says he can do it at the library or at school. "It can be a good thing for kids," Zachary said. But he wasn't upset when his father pulled the plug . Zachary's attitude to the Internet is in line with the study's findings, confirming that teens, who have never known a world without online access, generally have a more positive view of the Internet than their parents. More parents are getting online themselves, making them know about their children's online activities, Lenhart said. But that doesn't mean they understand everything. It also doesn't mean they needn't monitor the websites their children visit or set limits... Question: Why did Thomas quit the Internet service at home? Options: A: His son was threatened by some online strangers. B: His computer had been attacked by some viruses. C: He feared for the safety of his son and computer. D: The educational software had replaced the Internet.
