Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: China introduced its so-called one-child policy in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth . It's also been against for forcing parents to make difficult personal choices , or in some cases face huge fines . The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although there were some exceptions , for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children. The new rule says that if either parent is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own. One reason for the change is economics . In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single child could not afford to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that. Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights . Question: Where can you get this news _ . Options: A: on TV B: from your books C: from a magazine D: in the newspaper

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Although most of Pakistanis live in the countryside, still many Pakistanis live in cities. Karachi has over 5 million people and Lahore has over 3 million people. Islamabad was built to be Pakistan's capital. The rich city people live in large, air conditioned houses. Pakistan has 121,000 miles of roads. Bus services and minibuses are available to the public. The trains are still the most common transport of long-distance travel for Pakistanis. Pakistan also has an airline that operates domestic and international flights. It is difficult to identify Pakistani food because the country shares food traditions with its neighbour, India. The main difference between Pakistani and Indian food is that Pakistani food is less spicy . Pakistani dishes are often made with yoghurt , which reduces the effect of the hot spices used in cooking. Wheat is the main food for most of the people. It is eaten in the form of bread named chapattis or roti, together with vegetables in season. Sweet tea, milk, or lassi, a drink made from yoghurt, makes the meal perfect. Those who can afford to buy it eat meat, although in the countryside these are usually festival foods. Goat meat is a favourite. Pakistanis will not eat pork by the way. Question: Which city is the capital of Pakistan? Options: A: Karachi. B: Lahore. C: Islamabad. D: Bangkok.
