Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and the same parents, but you have different personalities . Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parent treat you. First -born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-born more responsibility and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first -born are often responsible, hard-working, and jealous . They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American Presidents, for example, George Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson than second or last-born children. When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete with the first-born for the parents' attention and love. Their children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family's attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last. Question: The passage is mainly about _ . Options: A: birth order and personalities B: the personalities of the second child in a family C: the personalities of the eldest child in a family D: the personalities of the youngest child in a family

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Do you know that in some parts of the world, people build temporary hotels made of snow and blocks of ice? These are known as ice hotels. Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby. To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses and reindeer skins . There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors , indoor temperatures are still very low. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only during the winter months. The ice hotels melt away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers. Question: Why are bathrooms heated in the ice hotels? Options: A: Guests want to eat in them. B: Indoor temperature are very low. C: Guests ask the hotels to do that. D: It is as cold indoors as it is outdoors.
