Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A "blogger" is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a "blog ".The word "blog" is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information,advertisements, advice and ideas for many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others. A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year. However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products. At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service "weblogs. com". He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing. One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca's Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called "The Weblog Handbook". It has been translated into four languages so far. Ms. Blood says Rebecea's Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything -- politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts. Question: The author wrote this passage mainly to _ . - introduce an Internet computer Web site called "blog" - introduce a short way of saying Weblog - tell readers how to write blogs - tell readers about blogs
tell readers about blogs

(Question)
Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Scientific mistakes can live on forever. When 18th-century European museums were first sent specimens of a large furry animal with long curved white claws, they named it"bear-like sloth "because its claws resemble those of South American sloths. Later scientists realized that the species was a tropical bear unrelated to sloths, but its wrongheaded name remains the sloth bear. Rangingprefix = st1 /India,Nepal,Bhutan,Sri Lanka, and possiblyBangladesh, these 150 to 300-pound bears feed on fruits and insects. They sound like bellows when using their flexible noses and lips to blow away dirt and suck up ants. But don't be misled: This gentle-looking bear can be dangerous, occasionally killing villagers who enter the forest. Yognand often talks with villagers to help avoid conflicts."Attacks can be prevented if people avoid certain places." One goal of his research has been to track a dozen radio-collared bears in the dry forests ofIndia'sPannaNational Park. He's discovered that some bears have home ranges of up to 40 square miles. His conclusion:"We need to protect large patches of their _ and maintain links between those patches. Unfortunately sloth bears have to compete with species such as tigers. The bears get far less attention than they deserve." Question: The large furry animal was named the sloth bear because_. - it has something to do with the sloth - its claws look like those of South American sloths - it has long curved white claws - it looks like bears
(Answer)
its claws look like those of South American sloths

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: When discussing about friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:" Let's start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted . We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: "Yes, I must tell...." We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist , who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. Question: In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to _ . - become serious about her study - go to her friend's house regularly - learn from her classmates at school - share poems and stories with her friend
Ans: share poems and stories with her friend
