A group was protesting, airplane noise,and Schum,who had kicked off his shoes,got out of the car. Within seconds, though,Schum saw something astonishing.A small plane dived and crashed into the woods about l00 yards from the runway."I don't remember making the decision that I should go help out," he recalls."I just started running." Sehum ran across the street barefoot,climbed over a six--foot-high chain link fence, and dashed about l00 yards toward the woods.When he got there, he discovered 5l yea r-old pilot Stephen Bochter,his head bleeding,beside the burning plane.Bochter's passenger,his wife, Kim Brillo,was on the ground, unconscious "She had blood all over her."says Schum."I thought she was dead."

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Museums in Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia is a great place for visitors seeking a little culture. There are Atlanta museums of all kinds, to interest adults and children. The history of the area is a fascinating one and it is documented in many of the museums. There are also collections of art and science based institutions and displays from the natural world. The city is famous for many reasons, one of them being the World of Coca-Cola Museum. It's a worldwide product with a long history and the collection contains memorabilia and handmade objects. Some of the documents go back to 1905. Visitors can see how a bottling _ operates and there are films about the history of the company. This Atlanta museum has a Pop Culture Gallery that shows paintings with the Coca-Cola image. At the end of the tour, visitors can buy a souvenir at the gift store. The Atlanta History Center,established in 1926, is most well-known for its civil war collection. There is also the exhibition of folk arts and the displays on the history of golf in the US. The state is also proud of its famous daughter, novelist Margaret Mitchell. The Margaret Mitchell House and Museum was founded in the house that the author shared with her husband from 1925 until 1932. It was here that she wrote her great book, Gone with the Wind. Much of this Atlanta museum is focused on the 1939 Hollywood film of the book. Families and school outings are fortunate in having the Fernbank Science Center. It serves the local educational community and the public also enjoys the displays. There are a wide variety of exhibitions, including a collection of dinosaur skeletons, an electron microscope and a Apollo spacecraft. The museum also has an impressive botanical collection. The Georgia Aquarium is the largest one in the world and almost all the tourists place it high on their travel plan when visiting the city. There are numerous species to see and learn about. The highlights include whale sharks, electric fish, Japanese spider crabs, Californian sea lions and African... Question: We can learn from the passage that _ . Options: A: Coca-Cola is popular with young visitors B: most tourists want to visit the Georgia Aquarium C: Science Center was set up by the local community D: Atlanta museums mainly focus on art and literatur

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Because plants cannot move or talk, most people believe that they have no feelings and that they cannot receive signals from outside. However, this may not be completely true. People who studied plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge . It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called "galvanometer". The galvanometer is placed on a leaf off the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can change when we are shocked or frightened. A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them - perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot - then the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signalling a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living things such as insects . Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signalled when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the room. Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backster's. He kept galvanometers fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing. If he was out of the office, he telephoned to find out about the signals the plants were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when he felt strong pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them. Question: The scientist called Sauvin _ . Options: A: did not agree with Backster's ideas B: did not get the same sort of results as Backster did C: got different results from Backster's D: found out some of the same things that Backster did
A: D
