Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: The volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Saint Helens certainly caused a lot of damage, didn't it? M: It did, but not as much as experts have predicted. It seems to have had a beneficial effect as well. W: Really? But were crop losses great? M: Yes, However, since the weather following the eruption was unexpectedly good, some crop yields remained steady or even increased beyond normal expectancy levels. W: I'm glad to hear that. But what was the beneficial effect you mentioned? M: A mass destruction of various insect populations. W: How could the ash kill insects without effecting people too? M: It's highly abrasive and quickly wears away the outer wax layer, protecting insects bodies. Removal of that layer causes the insects to lose body moisture by evaporation, the result is usually lethal. W: How about that? Sounds like an effective yet natural insecticide. Question: What is the main topic of the conversation? - The conversion of volcanic waste to fertilizer. - The menace of currently dormant volcanoes around Mount Saint Helens. - The eruption of Mount Saint Helens and its effects on the environment.
A: The eruption of Mount Saint Helens and its effects on the environment.

Question: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Hi, Jane. It's nice to see you again. I heard that you went to the US during the vacation. W: Yes. I went to New York to attend a summer course in English. M: Wow. You were lucky. How long did you stay there? W: About 50 days. I went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th. M: How about the course? W: The course was very good. The teachers were nice. They taught us to listen, speak, read and write in English, but it was mostly speaking. One interesting thing I found was that the American classes are different from our classes here because the students have a lot more freedom. You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom. You can ask the teachers questions at any time during the class, and you are welcome to share your ideas with the class. I really like this kind of class. M: How interesting! Maybe our teacher should try that. Question: Where was the woman on July 4th? - In an American university. - In New York. - At home.
