I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Education is not an end , but a means to an end . In other words , we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them . Our purpose is to fit them for life . In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor , clever or stupid-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation . But we can already see that free education for all is not enough ; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees , they refuse to do what they think "low" work , and , in fact , work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries . But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor , we can live without education, but we would die if we have no food . If no one cleaned our streets and tooled the rubbish away from our houses , we should get terrible diseases in our towns ... In fact , when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life , it means that we must be educated in such a way that , firstly , each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and , secondly , that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society , and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work . Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society . Question: The writer wants to prove that_. Options: A: our society needs all kinds of jobs B: our society needs free education for all C: a farmer is more important than a professor D: people with university degrees refuse to do what they think "low" work

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: One of the sailors who sailed with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World was a man named Juan Ponce de Leon. This voyage changed his life. He decided to stay when Columbus returned. Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called Boriquien) in 1508. While there, he heard many stories of a magical water source. People called it the Fountain of Youth and said that drinking its water kept you young. For the next few years, Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was. He asked permission from Spain's King Charles V to go in search of it. The king _ , as long as Ponce paid for the ships and crew himself. The young explorer did so readily, and they set off. It was March 1513. They sailed for days but didn't see the fountain. On March 27, he came within sight of the Florida coast. On April 2, he landed at what he named St. Augustine. This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America. He had several adventures along the way. He did not, however, find the Fountain of Youth. He returned to Boriquien. He continued to govern tile island, and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth. Finally, in 1521, he set out again. This time, he landed on the Florida coast again. While he and his men were building houses for a new settlement, they were attacked by native tribesmen . Many of his men died, but Ponce escaped, although he was injured. He reached Cuba and entered a hospital, where he died of wounds from the attack in Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth. Neither did anyone else, at least as far as we know. Question: Ponce's voyage to the New World with Columbus _ . Options: A: affected his future life greatly B: made him forget the way back C: was supported by Charles V financially D: was to find the Fountain of Youth

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Researchers in London and Bristol have found that men are particularly likely to yield to depression if their partners are also depressed. The finding highlights the importance of paying attention to the partners of depressed mothers, as young children themselves are vulnerable to social problems if both parents are depressed. Researchers in London and at the University of Bristol launched their study to investigate whether family structure affects the likelihood of depression in men around the time their child is born. They looked at men from traditional families, men with children from a previous relationship, men whose partners had children by a former partner, and men who were not living with their partners. All 7,108 participants filled out a questionnaire on depression, and answered questions about their age, education level and employment status. Details about the quality of their relationships with their partners, networks of friends and previous life events were also recorded. About 3.5 percent of the men and 13 percent of their partners suffered depression around the time their child was born. While men in stepfamilies or who were not living with their partners were twice as likely to get depressed as those in traditional families, this could be explained by other factors that are more common in nontraditional families, such as poor education and relationship conflicts. Even allowing for all these factors, however, the partners of women who were suffering from prenatal depression were significantly more likely to become depressed themselves, the researchers report in an American journal. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. For the healthy women, the figure was only 2.6 percent. Previous research suggests that families with two depressed parents may need special attention. A researcher in Atlanta has found that primary school children with two troubled parents have difficulty relating to their peers. "It's extremely important to look at the whole family." she says. Question: According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? Options: A: Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. B: 2.6 percent of healthy women were depressed. C: Special attention should be paid to families in which both the father and the mother were depressed. D: Primary school children whose parents were both depressed couldn't get along well withtheir peers.
