Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: As a kid,I was always chubby .In college I started _ . It got out of control when I went to law school. I'd made a decision a thousand times:I'm going to lose weight now. But what motivated me to get serious about it was turning 30. I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease,and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So after my birthday,I walked into the office of a weightloss doctor. She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise. Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance,until one weekend,I found myself saying,"Wow,this seems pretty easy." So I started to run. I was losing nine or ten pounds a month,and I had more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon. For years,I watched the runners and thought,"This looks like fun,but I could never do that." But now I realized that maybe I could. I joined the New York Road Runners. I ran a 10km,then a halfmarathon. I still wasn't confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was going to do it,no matter what. By my 33rd birthday,I was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon. And on the morning of November 1,I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners,waiting for the event to start. It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on,handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed (......) me with beer,as if I'd won the Super Bowl. And at that moment,I knew:If I set my mind to something,nothing is impossible. Options: A Practice makes perfect. B Pride comes before a fall. C A good beginning is half done. D Where there is a will,there is a way. Answer: D Where there is a will,there is a way. Question:
A: Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage?

Question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Time Travel If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future. But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called "wormholes", which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship -- going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task. Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the "grandfather paradox". It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time? And would you really like to visit the future?In H.G.Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future... Options: A Supportive. B Unconcerned. C Unclear. D Skeptical. Answer: D Skeptical. Question:
Answer: According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel?

Question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.http://www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing/ Using the same technology as a dehumidifier ,the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get from an unlimited source--the air.http://www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing/ The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water inhttp://www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing/ developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.http://www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing/ The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets.It can produce up to 12 liters a day.The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights. Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said, "The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable." The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost PS800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a liter of water costs around 20 pence to produce. Environmentalists state that half the world's population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking. The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won't be much of a problem. Options: A The cost of water will go up. B Bottled water will disappear soon. C The machine is energy saving. D The machine will be popular worldwide. Answer: C The machine is energy saving.
