I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The professor stood before his class of 30 senior biology students, about to pass out the final exam. "I have been honored to be your teacher this term, and I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test. I also know most of you are off to medical school or graduate school next fall," he said to them. "I can well understand how much pressure you are under to keep your grades up, and because I know you are able to understand this material, I am prepared to offer an automatic "B" to anyone who would prefer not to take the final." In relief a number of students jumped up to thank the professor and left the class. The professor looked at the students who remained, and offered again, "Any other takers? This is your last chance." One more student decided to go. There were seven students left. The professor closed the door. Then he handed out the final exam. There were only two sentences typed on the paper: "Congratulations, you have just received an "A" in this class. Keep believing in yourself." I never had a professor who gave a test like that. It may seem like the easy way out of grading a lot of exams, but it's a test that any teacher in any subject could and should give. Students who don't have confidence in what they've learned are "B" students at best. The same is true for students of real life. The "A" students are those who believe in what they're doing because they've learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, whether from formal education or the school of hard knocks, and become better people. Take your cue from Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma: "It's not the mountain we conquer , but ourselves." Don't let the biggest limit be yourself. Question: The point of the story is to advise readers _ . Options: A: to pay attention to what they can do B: not to miss any final exam at school C: not to let themselves limit their growth D: to surround themselves with confident people

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: "I think it's a great thing when I know it's going to help someone else."said l3-year-old Spencer Goldstein,after collecting hundreds of pieces of baseball equipment for kids who can not afford to buy their own. Spencer collected the bats,balls,gloves,helmets and masks for his mitzvah project,which is a community service project that many Jewish kids do around their bar or bat mitzvahs .A bar mitzvah is a ceremony for a boy while a bat mitzvah is intended for a girl.The ceremony means that you are old enough to take on a grown-up's responsibilities. Spencer got the idea for his mitzvah project alter seeing the Ugandan national team at last year's Little League World Series.Some of the Ugandan players didn't even have their own gloves.And Spencer's donations are going to a group called "Pitch for Baseball"--a group that gives baseball equipment to kids in low-income communities around the world. Mollie Schwartz and Mia Schwartz also came up with a sports-related mitzvah project.The money they raised went to the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled.They raised at least $9,000-enough to pay for at least three wheelchairs made for playing basketball. In Massachusetts,Abigail Miller decided to collect musical instruments for her mitzvah project.The instruments Abigail collected were then donated to groups that distribute them to kids who can't afford to buy them."I want to make sure everybody can get the chance to enjoy music like I do,"Abigail said.Abigail collected more than three-dozen instruments-wind instruments,string instruments,keyboards,even a drum set. Whether it's playing sports,playing music or something else,kids such as Spencer,Mollie,Mia and Abigail are using their mitzvah projects to change the woad for the better."They learned about generosity,''said Mollie's mother,Loft Schwartz,"and the power to make things happen". Question: Spencer planned to begin to collect baseball equipment_. Options: A: when he was only thirteen years old B: after he saw some players wearing no gloves C: when he found a group offering equipment to others D: after he found his classmates still living in poverty

A warm sweater or a jacket would be useful. About the tour: This volcano tour takes you inside a volcano, through the top crater and down to the bottom of its magma chamber . The Thrihnukagigur volcano has not erupted for 4,000 years and shows no signs of coming to life again anytime soon. Hence, you are safe! You depart from Reykjavik and drive to the area of Blafjoll mountains (About 30 minutes' drive). From there, an easy 35- to 40-minute walk awaits you, in order to get to the volcano. Using a system normally used to carry window cleaners outside skyscrapers, you will go down 120 metres in an open elevator, a basket lift that is supported by cable wires. The group is split into smaller parties of four to five persons. The trip takes about 10 minutes and the first ones to go down will be the first ones to go up. After exploring the volcano on the inside, you will walk back over the lava field where the coach awaits and transfers you back to Reykjavik. Question: The text is most probably taken from _ .
