Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Winnie-the-Pooh By A. A. Milne Winnie-the-Pooh has been introduced and reintroduced to generation after generation as a model of a child's best friend. However, not everyone has found Pooh is lovely. This classic has been banned in a variety of countries at one point. So why would anyone ever want to keep children from the joy of Milne's classic? In the case of Russia, Winnie-the-Pooh was banned in 2009 because of alleged Nazi ties. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz By Frank Baum Originally published in the year 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the foundations of the fairytale genre. Who, then, would seek to ban a book that has become so important to the American experience? America is that who. The Detroit Library banned The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1957 for having no value for children. Charlotte's Web By E. B. White White's tale of the relationship between two unexpected creatures, a spider and a pig, has been drawing children in for over half a century. Published in 1952, this classic has been readily available on most library shelves for children to read. However, some people would like to make this book never see the light of day. In one extreme case, a school in England banned Charlotte's Web for fear that the pig Wilbur might be offensive to Muslim students. Fortunately, the Muslim Council of Britain saw the foolishness of this ban, so the book was quickly restored to its right place on the shelves. Where the Wild Things Are By Maurice Sendak Though its first copy was published fifty years ago, this book hasn't always been readily available in libraries and in stores. After its release, Where the Wild Things Are was banned in libraries all across the U.S. for its dark tone and unruly leading characters. Nowadays, you'll find far fewer libraries that still hold this ban. Question: The books which were once banned in the same country are _ . - Charlotte's Web and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - Where the Wild Things Are and Winnie-the-Pooh - Where the Wild Things Are and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - Winnie-the-Pooh and Charlotte's Web
Where the Wild Things Are and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: An "apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe ,but is close to it. All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices -- just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed. There are other phrases meaning the same thing as "apple-polishing" -- "soft-soaping" or "butter-up". A gift is just one way to "soft-soap" somebody, or to "butter him up". Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise -- telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is. Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so little of it. We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves. Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers .They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power. He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery. Question: Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ? - Too much flattery can carry us away - Flattery is too empty to do people any good - Flattery can get nothing but excessive pride - Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.
Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A woman planning "Harry Potter night" at a supper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros . The evenings in Kiburn, north London, were due to include food and other elements from the Harry Potter books. However, Warner Bros, maker of the Harry Potter films, wrote to the club's organizer "Ms Marmite Lover" warning that the parties would infringe its rights. The club will now hold two "Genetic Wizard nights" for Halloween. On her blog,Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer. Guests would have to enter the venue, called the Underground Restaurant, through "Diagon Alley" and by giving a password--while a "Sorting Hat" would decide the seating plan. After Warner Bros learned about the event, he wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying: "While we are delighted that you are such a fun of the Harry Potter series, unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Wamer's rights." The letter added: "Warner does not, of course, object to you holding a generic wizard/Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant." Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog: "JK Rowling herself, having at one time been a struggling single parent, and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families, would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial and creative". The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each, except alcohol. Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories. The vast majority of non-commercial events are able to go ahead with the studio's support, it says. Question: We can infer from the passage that _ - "Sorting Hat" is the password to go through "Diagon Alley" - the charges that the guests pay for the dinner include alcohol - Ms Marmite Lover was not pleased with Warner Bros - Warner is a charity organization which helps the single mother.
