Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When something becomes fashionable very quickly , we say that it's a "craze". The latest craze is sometimes a style of clothes or a hairstyle. Sometimes it is a game or a TV programme. In the 20thcentury a lot of crazes started in the USA and then became popular in the USA andthen became popular in other parts of the world. American youth culture has spread through tourism , TV , films, magazines and music videos. One of the biggest crazes was the hula hoop . Hula hoops are not popular now, but in the1950s they were a _ . An American company called Wham-O started to make plastic hoops toys, and in the USA the company sold 100 million hoops in a year. Frisbees were another Wham-O product . Some people say that the idea started in the factory of the Frisbee Baking Company in Connecticut. Workers there threw metal pans to each other during their breaks. Two businessmen made a plastic type of the flying pans, and sold their products to Wham-O. They became a big business. So businesses usually help to produce a craze. Yoyos were another example. In the Philippines, where its name means "comeback", the yoyo was a popular toy in the 1920s. But it didn't become a global craze until an American called Donald Duncan bought the idea and sold it to the world. Around 100 million people bought yoyos in 1962 and 1963. Most crazes come and go, but sometimes they survive.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Two old men lived in a room on the third floor of an old people's home. Both men were very old and badly ill, and they spent 24 hours a day in bed in the room. Luckily, one of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day he spent hours telling his friend far from the window what he could see through the window. He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park opposite, and the birds flying in trees. The old man far from the window got a lot of pleasure from hearing about the world outside, but after a time he began to get rather unhappy. How nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see everything for him, instead of just hearing about it. One night, the man by the window called to his friend, "Quick! Pull the alarm by your bed; I don't think I can get through the night!" But his friends, expecting an empty bed by the window, did nothing---he just closed his eyes and went back to sleep. The next morning, the nurse found the man dead in his bed by the window. The old man was very excited as they moved him into the empty bed by the window. He sat up in bed, pulled back the curtain, looked out --- and saw only a wall. Question: The old man by the window thought _ that night when he asked his friend for help. Options: A: he wouldn't die B: he would die C: he couldn't sleep D: he could sleep
