I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical to use time, not distance, to measure journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example. In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation . The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions. The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed. These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. It's really difficult to get lost! Question: When did road maps come out? Options: A: Around 15th and 16th centuries. B: When people began to travel by train. C: When people began to travel by sea. D: When cities and towns appeared.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I'm sure lots of children of your age will say "Yes". Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags. Doctors are starting to worry about young students' back and neck because their school bags are too heavy for them. "It's hard for me to go upstairs with my heavy bag," said Rick Hammond, an ll-year-old student in the USA. Rick is among students who have school bags with two straps ,and many other students choose rolling bags. But even with rolling bags ,getting upstairs is still a problem for children .Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight . Scott Bautch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should carry no more than 10% of their weight and older children shouldn't stay with over 15% , because their bodies are still growing. Teachers and parents should do some things to help children. And the best answer is to have less homework! Question: From the passage we cam know that _ . Options: A: only children in China carry too heavy school bags. B: children in other countries don't carry too heavy bags. C: both children in China and the USA carry too heavy school bags.
