Poor Sultan,who was lying close by them,heard all that the shepherd and his wife said to one another,and was very much frightened to think tomorrow would be his last day.So in the evening he went to his good friend,the wolf,who lived in the wood,and told him all his sorrows,and how his master meant to kill him in the morning. "Make yourself easy,"said the wolf,"I will give you some good advice.Your master,you know,goes out every morning.very early with his wife into the field,and they take their little child with them,and lay it down in the shade while they are at work.Now you lie down close by the child,and pretend to be watching it,and I will come out of the wood and run away with it.You must run after me as fast as you can, and I will let it drop.Then you may carry it back,and they will think you have saved their child,and will be so thankful to you that they will take care of you as long as you live." The dog liked this plan very well,and accordingly so it was managed.The wolf ran with the child a little way.The shepherd and his wife cried out,but Sultan soon overtook him and carried the poor little thing back to his master and mistress.Then the shepherd patted him on the head and said,"Old Sultan has saved our child from the wolf,and therefore he shall live and be well taken care of,and have plenty to eat.Wife,go home,and give him a good dinner and let him have my old cushion to sleep on as long as he lives."So from this time forward Sultan had all that he could wish for. We can guess from the passage that the shepherd and his wife wanted to kill Sultan because they thought that_. A) he was too old B) he was lazy C) he ate too much D) he didn't like his master

Ques: How often do you go on holiday? Going on holiday makes you feel good while you're there-you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows. Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year-as many as one in three don't-to get the benefits. The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by 6% while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by 2% over the same period. The sleep quality of holiday-makers improved by 17% while that of the non-holidaymakers _ by 14%. The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress--known as the stress-resilience test-improved by 29%. There was a 71% fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Test showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least 2 weeks after returning home. The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK's largest healthcare charity. The author intends to tell us that _ . A) it is best to go to foreign countries like Maldives. B) we had better go on holiday for the benefits of health C) we have to go on holiday as much as possible D) you'll certainly get depressed if you don't go on holiday

In the past, if a person wanted to see the national treasures of a country, one had to go there in person. Therefore, very few people were able to enjoy some of history's most important and interesting artifacts . This has changed with an increase in the number of traveling museum exhibitions. King Tutankhamen Artifacts A traveling exhibition of artifacts from the tomb of King Tutankhamen, popularly known as "King Tut", toured the United States from November 1976 to April 1979. The 55 objects were shown in six cities and were seen by around eight million museum-goers. The second touring exhibit was started in 2007, this time with 130 artifacts and stops in London and three different American cities. However some objects, like the king's golden face mask, are too valuable or too delicate to be transported long distances, so "replicas" (exact copies of something) are on show. Japanese Color Woodblock Prints The Art Museum at University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, Virginia, has an extraordinary collection of Japanese color woodblock prints . These prints document the period from about 1850 to 1900, a time when Japan was opening itself to Western influences. Before this point, Japan was a closed society that had little communication with the world outside of its borders. These works of art beautifully show the feeling of change and the trend toward modernization. The museum has put together a traveling exhibition of 60 of these prints, which can be borrowed and exhibited worldwide for periods of eight weeks or more. Face-to-face with "Lucy" One of the world's most famous archaeological finds in history are the 3.2 million-year-old bones of a 106-centimeter-tall female found in the Ethiopian desert in 1974. Lucy, a name given to her by the discovery team, is a "hominid", or a creature that scientists believe is the earliest ancestor of modern human beings. Rarely is an artifact this valuable allowed to travel widely, but Lucy has been taken to several museums in the U.S. while a detailed replica remains... What do the Japanese woodblock prints show about the society from 1850 to 1900? A) Japan had little communication with other countries. B) The whole country refused changes in the society. C) Japan was opening itself up to Western ideas. D) Japan achieved modernization.
