The China Railway Customer Service Center said that it would try to solve the problem and return the money in 15 working days. The service center said changes would be made to the online booking system which limited each purchase which is finished in 30 minutes. Many people said that they failed to book tickets because of the time limit in purchase. People who paid without getting their tickets have formed groups on QQ. As many as 400 people had joined the QQ group by Thursday and the group continues to grow. The ticket buyers said their money had been returned through online banks but they didn't get confirmation from the online booking system. They are afraid that they will not be able to get refunds because they don't have the order number given to those who have succeeded in booking. People also said they were unable to inquire through the booking hotline 12306, because it is almost always busy. The China Railway Customer Service Center Website suggested that the online banks didn't return the payment information to the online booking system because of network problems. The online railway booking service was made by the Ministry of Railways on Dec. 21, in order that people can easily buy train tickets during the Spring Festival. Question: What happened to the train tickets buyers after paying the money? Options: A: They didn't join the QQ group. B: They didn't search the Internet. C: They didn't find the order number. D: They didn't get their tickets.

He was very surprised about this and asked,"You can't see these flowers. "Why are you busy taking care of them every day?" The old man smiled and said ,"I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last one, that's you." "Me? But you don't know me."said the young man. "Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. But I know that flowers are angels that everybody knows.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Different colours can affect us in many different ways; that's according to Verity Allen. In a new programme "Colour me Healthy", Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are. "Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?" says Verity. "Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It's never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products as being a bit unpleasant. It's the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don't respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy." During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American "Colour Doctor" who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. Overall, it's an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity _ to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it's up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe. Question: What's the passage mainly about? Options: A: How people use colours. B: How colours influence people. C: What happens in a programme. D: What makes a programme believable.
