I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When Steven was a young boy, he moved quite often with his family and so he never had many friends. He spent a lot of time on his own and liked to play with electronic things. Steven had a neighbour, Steve Wozniak. Steve was a little bit younger than Steven but also liked to play with electronic things. Steven made a microphone and Steve asked him many questions about it until he understood how it worked. Steven liked the fact that such a young boy was also interest ed in electronic things and so he taught him everything he knew. When they were a little older and knew more about electronic things, they made a "blue box". People could make free phone calls by breaking into the phone company's system with this box. They sold this to many people even though it was illegal , but this is not why they are famous today. Steven and Steve were the inventors of the first PC--personal computer. They called their first computer the Apple I. They invented it only for fun and to make themselves known among their friends. They did not think it would become so popular. They just liked playing computer games on it. Their computer made it cheaper and easier for people to own and use a computer. Their PCs were so popular that they made a new PC called the Apple II. Soon many schools, families and factories were using their computers. Without the two clever men, the personal computers might never have appeared. Question: What did the "blue box" do? Options: A: People could play computer games with it. B: It helped people make electronic things. C: It paid for everybody's telephone calls. D: It helped people make free phone calls.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Languages are always changing.As time goes by,some new words are created and becoming more and more popular.Search on Baidu,and you can find some hot net words in China today. "Tuhao",a Chinese word,which originally meant a rich and powerful person or family in a certain town or area,nowadays,has become a general term used by people to describe those who look really rich,and especially those who live beyond their means. The term"dama"is almost the same as"big mama'in Chinese.referring to those middle-aged Chinese women who crazily bought gold in jewelry shops in HK. "Wo huodai"is short for a sentence meaning"My little friends and I are shocked."Its actual roots lie in an article written by a pupil.The school student said his little friends and he were shocked after finding out where the Chinese rice dumpling originated from.Since then,the sentence is often used to describe people's shock after discovering a new or hot fact. "Male woman"refers to a boyish girl or a woman with strong body or strong mind.In August 2013,one Russian beauty's photos got great popularity online.The woman has a very pretty face and an extremely strong body. "Buming jueli",a Chinese term,is short for a sentence which means "I don't quite get it,but I think you are really _ ."Suppose Stephen Hawking gave us a speech on the origin of the universe.although I didn't understand it,I still felt it was wonderful.
