I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Something strange was unbelievable. Take Robert for example. After the terrible car accident, his whole world had been completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing made him try many times to put end to his life. His family especially his wife did their best to tend and comfort him. By and by he finally regained the courage to live on. On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started suddenly. He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning. The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes ,he didn't dare to believe that he saw a plough( )lying near the wall. When Mrs Edwards came running up to him, she shouted their neighbours for help. And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly ten years. The news of Robert's regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread in his area. And many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincing reasons, however. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock. Question: Which of the following is NOT true? Options: A: Edwards had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years B: Edwards lost all his senses for about 20 minutes after the lightning had struck him down C: Doctor held the belief that Edwards was never really blind and deaf. D: Edwards woke up with face in mud.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Teens don't understand the big fuss .As the first generation to grow up in a wired world,they hardly know a time when computers weren't around,and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online,chatting with friends.So what? But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated ,less skillful at person-to-person relationships,and perhaps numb to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world."And a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,"said Sherry Turkle. Another researcher,Robert Kraut,said he's worried about the "opportunity costs" of so much online time for youths.He found that teens who used computers,even just a few hours a week,showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation."Chatting online may be better than watching television,but it's worse than hanging out with real friends,"he said. Today's teens,however,don't see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives."School is busy and full of pressure.There's almost no time to just hang out,"said Parker Rice,17."Talking online is just catch-up time." Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply.Some teens admit that asking someone for a date,or breaking up,can be easier in message form,though they don't want to do so.But they insist there's no harm. Question: Teens think that talking online can help them _ . Options: A: use computers properly B: improve their school work C: develop an interest in social skills D: reduce their mental pressures

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I call my story the story of a bad boy, partly to distinguish myself from those faultless young gentlemen, and partly because I really was not an angle. I may truthfully say I was a friendly, impulsive teenager. I didn't want to be an angel. In short, I was a real human boy, such as you may meet anywhere in New England. Whenever a new scholar came to our school, I used to ask him " My name's Tom Bailey; what's your name?" If the name struck me favorably, I shook hands with the new pupil _ , but if it didn't, I would turn and walk away, for I was particular on this point. I was born in Rivermouth almost fifty years ago, but, before I became very well acquainted with that pretty New England town, my parents moved to New Orleans. I was only eighteen months old at the time of the move, and it didn't make much difference to me where I was, because several years later, when my father proposed to take me North to be educated, I had my own view on the subject. I instantly kicked over the little boy, Sam, who happened to be standing by me at the moment, and declared that I would not be taken away to live among a lot of Yankees! You see I was what is called " a Northern man with Southern principles," I had no recollection of New England: my earliest memories were connected with the South. I knew I was born in the North, but hoped nobody would find it out. I never told my schoolmates I was a Yankee, because they talked about Yankees in a scornful way which made me feel that it was quite a shame not to be born in the South. And this impression was strengthened by Aunt Chloe, who said, "There wasn't no gentlemen in the North no way." With this picture of Northern civilization in my eye, the readers will easily understand my terror at the bare thought of being transported to Rivermouth to school, and possibly will forgive me for kicking over little Sam, when my father announced this to me. As for kicking little Sam, I always did that, more or less gently, when anything went wrong with me. My father was greatly troubled by... Question: It can be inferred from "a Northern man with Southern principles" that _ . Options: A: Tom is a Yankee, unwilling adapting to a Southern lifestyle B: even though Tom now lives in the South, he is proud of his Northern heritage C: Tom has successfully subscribed to some Northern values and some Southern values D: although Tom was born in New England he liked the way of life and culture in the South
