Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Like lots of other girls and boys,when Lisa Cao was a kid,she used to watch the Olympics. "I always wanted to be good at sport and I found athletic potential in my body", the New York City citizen tells her friends. But there was no sport available so she took up piano lessons. Then,at the age of 15,she decided to drop the lessons and put her athletic potential to the test with running. At age 18,Lisa Cao ran her first-ever marathon in New York City. And now,the 27-year-old has 54 marathons (26. miles) and ultramarathons (100miles) under her belt. What does it take to be an ultramarathoner? A lot of devotion,even when difficulties occur sometimes. "Making time for running is really hard when life is so busy," she says. "There's a big work-life balance that I have to keep. I have to wake up earlier on the weekends. And oh,the potential for excuses! With NYC's wild winters as of late,it's easy to blame the weather,roll over in bed and put off a solid run. I have a fix for this,though," she says. "Cute clothes. With the horrible weather, I bought cute clothes as motivation to run and actually wear them. " While she's training during low season in the winter,Lisa Cao tries to run a "base" of 20 to 30 miles per week to stay prepared. During high season in the spring and summer,she'll run around 30 to 40 miles,but she also gets a lot of quality miles from her races. Question: Why does Lisa Cao buy beautiful clothes in terrible weather? Options: A: To have a better sleep. B: To motivate herself to keep running. C: To protect herself from any harm. D: To save time for further training.

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Chinese officials yesterday urged employers to take more measures to protect workers against workplace diseases and injuries. Experts estimate that about 200 million workers face a potential danger of occupational diseases and work-related injuries. The majority of them are farmers-turned-workers who are working in small or medium-sized firms. One of the most serious workplace diseases on the Chinese mainland is pneumoconiosis, a lung disease that is caused by breathing in too much dust of coal, silicon, and cerement. It causes serious breathing difficulties and can be fatal . The disease killed 966 people in the country last year, according to an official report released by the Ministry of Health yesterday. From the early 1950s until the end of last year, 607,570 people were diagnosed with pneumoconiosis. Among the number, 137,481 people died from the disease. Chen Xiaohong, vice minister of health, said the general level of prevention and control of workplace diseases is still quite low in China. "Health authorities at various levels will do more education work in the future to raise employers' awareness that they are the first person responsible for any workplace diseases or accidents," Chen said. He made the remark at a ceremony held by his ministry and other relevant departments under the State Council to award prizes to 56 companies which have done well in protecting workers' health. On the Chinese mainland, more than 16 million companies are engaged in potentially dangerous sectors, such as coal mining, construction, and those that use chemicals, according to the Ministry of Health. Although many companies, especially large foreign-invested and State-owned ones, have done well in protecting workers' health, many employees are still working in dangerous places with poor protection and without any insurance support. At least 90 per cent of Chinese companies are small or medium-sized organizations. Many of these companies, especially private ones based in towns and villages, do not want to spend their...

C: less than 12 million farmers-turned-workers have medical or injury insurance. D: 50% of the companies have done well in protecting workers' health.

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Honesty,my mum always used to tell me,is the best policy.Of course,this didn't include her when she told me that if I didn't eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents. But when it comes to medicine.I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients.After all,the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust,and therefore honesty is essential.Or so I thought.

What are you worried about?"she asked.I hesitated.She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth."Well.we need to prove it's not cancer."I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order. Half an hour later, a nurse called me:"Mr. McMahon's daughter broke down--she said you told her he had cancer."My heart sank.By the time I arrived at the ward,my consultant was already there,explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer.I stood silently at the end of the bed.My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon,she turned to me."Why on earth did you do that?"she asked in disbelief.I looked at her and bit my lip."She asked me what I was worried about and I told her."I said,hanging my head."And give her more to worry about?"replied my consultant."You don't say the word'cancer'until it's confirmed.Even if you suspect it,think very carefully before you tell people." As it turned out, it wasn't cancer.But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear and as a...
