I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Plans to expand wind energy into the most scenic parts of Germany are meeting increasing opposition across the country. Anti-wind campaigners are angry that areas including the forests made famous by the tales of the Brothers Grimm are among the targets for new turbines . For the first time they have formed a national opposition group to _ the expansion. They say the expansion will damage forests and tourism across the country. Germany has started a massive expansion of renewable energy since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan. The government decided to reduce atomic plants and instead increase the opportunities for green power. As a result, solar farms, biogas plants and wind parks are booming. In 2013, 22% of Germany's electricity was generated by renewable energy. Wind has played a major part in this change, making up half of the renewable energy in 2013, and the public has been generally supportive. To date, a majority of the 23,000 wind turbines in the country have been built in the flat northern and eastern parts of the country. But now the focus of expansion is on the areas of dark forest in the central and southern areas of Germany. One such region is the Rheinhardswald in the northern part of the state of Hesse. This is the home of the magical tales of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and others, made famous in the books of the Brothers Grimm. This scenic place is a magnet, attracting hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world. But now there are also plans to build up to 200 turbines in this scenic place! Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg is a PhD student and an opponent of the plans. "It is not because this is the area of Sleeping Beauty," she says, "I want the green movement, I want green technology, I don't want nuclear power--- but they should be made in the right way and not by destroying the forests." The campaigners argue that putting wind turbines in this area makes no sense. The wind speeds are low and the area is home to some extremely rare birds including the endangered black... Question: What is the main idea of the passage? _ . Options: A: Wind parks are increasing rapidly all over Germany. B: The Rheinhardswald is famous for the tales of Sleeping Beauty. C: Expanding wind energy into the land of Sleeping Beauty causes controversy. D: Building wind turbines in the land of Sleeping Beauty area makes no sense.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I lost my left eye just after my first birthday -- I'd fallen seriously ill. My artificial eye was very convincing and I usually wore glasses over it -- even my boyfriend, Mick, didn't really notice. I told him I was blind in one eye just before we got married -- I was 19 at the time. He said he didn't care and that he loved me just the same. The day before we married, I was at my parents' house, when my other eye suddenly went blurry . My dad phoned the doctor, who told him it was probably nerves and I'd be fine by morning. He was right -- when I awoke, I was able to read my good luck cards. The wedding photographer arrived just as I was putting on my dress and I was called into the garden for a pre-ceremony photo. There was no time even to look in a mirror. Afterwards, we drove straight to the church. It was a sunny day, and as we approached I could see all our friends waiting. The service was delightful, and Mick and I went into the minister's office to sign the register -- the last thing I ever wrote with my sight. It was only when we reached the hotel, where the reception was taking place, that I started to feel strange. As we waited to greet our guests, my sight started to become blurry again and I really had to concentrate as our friends and family lined up to congratulate us. Afterwards, we went into the reception room, so the photographer could take our picture as we pretended to cut the cake. That's when the pain started. "Don't let anyone know!"my mum said. She'd always blamed herself for the loss of my other eye, wishing she'd taken me to the doctor earlier. Only a few family members had ever been told -- even my close friends had beennone the wiser. So even as the pain became more severe, I carried on as if nothing was happening. I'd waited so long for this day, and everyone seemed so happy, I didn't want to spoil things. I couldn't make anything out, but I managed tostay calm and made it through the meal and the speeches. I suppose it's normal for the bride and groom to stay close together... Question: Why did the nurse at the hospital cry suddenly? Options: A: Because she felt sad for the writer's experience. B: Because she felt amazed at their happy marriage. C: Because she was afraid of the writer's appearance. D: Because she was moved by Mick's selfless love for the writer.
