Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Air traffic controllers in the US have been advised to take 26-minute naps , after a series of accidents involving workers falling asleep. Now the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is calling for "controlled naps" during nightshifts . NTSB member Mark Rosekind said that a 26-minute nap would improve performance by 34%. He believes that beyond the aviation industry, other professions, such as motoring and machinery, also carry obvious risks. But other experts doubt whether 26 minutes is the appropriate napping time. It's a bit too long and risks you falling into a deep sleep, says Jim Horne, director of the Sleep Research Council. He said, "A nap of about 15 minutes is best; once you get beyond 20 minutes, you risk a deep sleep and you can be much more tired when you wake up. Therefore, we suggest that a nap be combined with a cup of coffee so that you can enjoy an effective sleep before the caffeine takes effect in 20 minutes. However, this method only works on those who have had a poor night's sleep. If you haven't had a sleep the night before, this method won't be enough to make you fresh." Health writer, Linda Wasmer Andrews, also believes that 26 minutes is too long. She says a nap between 10 and 20 minutes is enough, and the timing of the nap is also important. Putting your head down too early means your body may not be ready to sleep yet, but a nap that is too late in a day might make it harder to fall asleep. Early afternoon is often the best time, between l pm to 3pm, when people experience a post-lunch decrease in energy.
A: Question: Jim Horne thinks that a 26-minute nap is not appropriate because _ .Options:A people risk a deep sleep and may feel more tiredB the guidelines for drivers can reduce the napping timeC people who had a poor sleep need some more napping timeD it's a little long for people who didn't sleep the night beforeAnswer:A

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: "Confidence" is probably one of the most noticeable traits in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue--this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive. Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches. (The course I'm teaching here is Public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
A: Question: What can we infer from the passage?Options:A American students are ready to accept the grades from the teacher.B The writer teaches in Europe for a living.C Students are encouraged to present simple questions.D One's ignorance will give away in time.Answer:D

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Speaking of Londoners, a stereotype comes to mind -a man in a dark suit with an umbrella in hand and Big Ben barely visible against the foggy sky. Londoners often give the impression of being reserved. But The News York Times recently issued a report headlined True Londoners Are Extinct. What defines a Londoner exactly? The criteria can be tricky. The newspaper discovered that over the last decade, the foreign-born population in London reached 2.6 million, about a third of the city's population. "Foreigners can't be Londoners," a British political campaigner told the newspaper. A true Londoner would never support Manchester United, the newspaper quoted a man in a pub. Fair enough, since one has four other top league clubs to choose from, you must be too ignorant to be a Londoner. Next issue is where you live. There are those who believe that true Londoners are cockneys--those who were born within earshot of Bow Bells. The oddest claim of all was from a pub goer: "A real Londoner would never, never, ever, eat at one of those bloody Angus steakhouses in the West End. That's how you tell." Indeed, London is a city "prejudiced" with directions. You quickly discover which part of the city suits your temperament. West London, one woman said to The New York Times, was too "brittle" for her. But the West End is the place where the noble accent was born along with shopping malls and top flight residential estates. South Londoners hate going north. North Londoners forget there's a south beyond the South Bank. East London is close to the port and the site of early industrial development. It's often considered one of the poorest areas in the city. "You can't cut the prejudice out of London," a university student said to the newspaper. But it is this uneasy charm that gives the city its unique dynamic.
A: Question: If a Londoner supports Manchester United, he will be considered_.Options:A trickyB honestC ignorantD tolerantAnswer:C
