Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: It's a long-awaited day for China. The navy now has its first aircraft carrier , Liaoning. It's a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors is quite small. That's because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck.. For visitors, it's so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions. Also, you will be surprised by the high level of education of today's sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailors are college graduates. Six hold Doctor's Degrees and 45 have a Master's. The whole team is young but vigorous. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard . Question: Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? - Liaoning is our country's first aircraft carrier. - Most of the sailors on the carrier are college graduates. - There are far fewer women sailors than men sailors on the carrier. - It is comfortable for the sailors to live in the carrier.
A: It is comfortable for the sailors to live in the carrier.

Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: We often ask for information or help, especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, "Where are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are correct English, but the first could sound rude . It's important to use correct language, but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite . In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher, "Where is my book?" This will sound rude. But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?" Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say "Where is my book?" in some situations, perhaps with people you know well. "Peter, lend me your pen." can sound rude in English. Usually in English, polite questions are longer such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?" Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say, "Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me" or "I'm sorry to trouble you but," before asking them for help. It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct . However, in order not to offend people, learning about language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak. Question: What is the polite way when you ask for help? - Pass me the watch, Li Tao. - Where is the supermarket? - Tell me where I can find a bank. - Excuse me, how could I get to the book shop?
Answer: Excuse me, how could I get to the book shop?
