Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: We drove about a great deal--the country at the back of Deauville, going away from the sea, is lovely--very like England--charming narrow roads with high banks and hedges on each side--big trees with spreading branches meeting overhead--stretches of green fields with cows grazing placidly and horses and colts gambolling about.
Sent 2: It is a great grazing and breeding country.
Sent 3: There are many haras (breeding stables) in the neighbourhood, and the big Norman posters are much in demand.
Sent 4: I have friends who never take their horses to the country.
Sent 5: They hire for the season a pair of strong Norman horses that go all day up and down hill at the same regular pace and who get over a vast amount of country.
Sent 6: We stopped once or twice when we were a large party, two or three carriages, and had tea at one of the numerous farmhouses that were scattered about.
Sent 7: Boiling water was a difficulty--milk, cider, good bread and butter, cheese we could always find--sometimes a galette, but a kettle and boiling water were entirely out of their habits.
Sent 8: They used to boil the water in a large black pot, and take it out with a big spoon.
Sent 9: However, it amused us, and the water really did boil.
Question: Where did they stop that made boiling water difficult?.

A: A farm house.

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: In remarks during a ribbon-cutting ceremony here on Wednesday, Gov. George E. Pataki said he expected the facility to generate thousands more jobs in the Hudson Valley area for contractors and suppliers catering to the factory.
Sent 2: He praised IBM for being "a critical partner in our economic development efforts" in New York state.
Sent 3: In a brief speech, Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM's chief executive, emphasized that it was important to make long-term investments despite the current slump in the technology business.
Sent 4: "To play to win in technology, you innovate and you lead," he said.
Sent 5: But manufacturing technology products is a costly and cyclical business.
Sent 6: In June, IBM announced that it was taking a charge of more than $2 billion against earnings.
Sent 7: The largest single reasons for the charge were the cost of getting out of the business of manufacturing hard disks for storage, which it sold to Hitachi, and closing down some of its older semiconductor operations.
Sent 8: But Kelly said the demand for advanced chips, like those produced at IBM's facility in Burlington, Vt., is strong.
Sent 9: "I need more capacity in that end of the market," he said, "and this is factory is critical to meeting that growing demand."Sent 10: If IBM has miscalculated the demand, it will suffer badly as both the high operating costs and depreciation on the huge capital investment for the East Fishkill factory drag down earnings.
Sent 11: But industry analysts said the plant should be insulated from a falloff in one or a few segments of the semiconductor market.
Question: What was the main reason IBM gave for putting $2 billion dollars against earnings?.

A:
The cost of getting out of the business of manufacturing hard disks for storage, which it sold to Hitachi, and closing down some of its older semiconductor operations.
