I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: You heard about the sign posted on a farm fence? Inside there was a big and mean bull. The sign read, "Don't attempt to cross this field unless you can do it in 9.9 seconds. The bull can do it in 10!" Don't try to cross that field unless you are prepared! And isn't that the way it is in life? We have to be ready when the opportunity arises or else we will have little chance of success. Sixth-grade teacher Ms. Shelton believed in readiness. When she walked into the classroom on the first day and began writing words of an eighth-grade level on the blackboard, the students immediately said that the words were not at their level and they couldn't learn them. Their teacher insisted that they could and would learn these words. She said that she would never teach down to them. Ms. Shelton ended by saying that one of the students in the classroom could go on to greatness, maybe even be president someday, and she wanted them to prepare for that day. Ms. Shelton said those words many years ago. Little did she know that someday one of her students--Jesse Jackson--would take them seriously. She believed that if they were well prepared, they could achieve high goals. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "People only see what they are prepared to see." If that's true, then it is also true that they only become what they are prepared to become. And a lot of life is just about getting ready. Think of today as a chance to prepare yourself for the exciting future you are looking for. Today is not wasted. If you desire more from life, you can use today as training. For you will experience only what you are prepared to experience. Something wonderful can happen. And you can use today to get ready for tomorrow. Question: What can be the best title of the passage? Options: A: Get Ready for Tomorrow B: Don't Waste Time C: Challenge Yourself D: Ms. Shelton, a Famous Teacher

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When it came to role models, Diana Ortiz said her mother, Marcia Dominguez, was the "hero". Ms. Dominguez came to the United States from Cuba in 1979. She went to college and got a job as a social worker --- all the while raising three children in America mostly on her own. "It was always school first," Diana said, "My mom had us in a straight line. If we got out of line, she corrected us. She was a perfect woman. She was beautiful, she had the education and she had everything --- but the illness took over. When I was 11, it frightened me to see how quickly my mother's health was ruined by cancer. A week before I turned 14, my mother died at age 50. I had tried to prepare myself, but on the first morning I woke up without my mother, the sense of loss was painful." Diana had not seen her father for five years, who refused to provide for her. Diana then entered the city's foster care system. She has spent about four years in foster homes. Despite Diana's hard teenage years, the values her mother had planted in her mind inspired her to go after higher education. Since August 2010, she has been a fulltime student majoring in law. A public organization offers her tuition but she has part-time jobs to help people like her and earn more life experience. Her goal is a job in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. For now, Diana works 20 hours a week as a cashier at Marshalls, earning $7.25 an hour. In November, she moved into her own public housing studio apartment on the Lower East Side. She pays $236 a month in rent. Although she is out of foster care, Diana has been speaking at workshops for foster youths. She emphasizes that nothing should get in the way of their success, not the trials of their lives or what they may have lost. "I tell the young who have the similar experience like me, 'Why are you going to let what happened to you affect you in the long run?' " Diana said. " 'Why are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? You're wasting precious time.' It is a message my mother would approve of. My... Question: Which of the following words can be used to describe Ms. Dominguez? Options: A: Learned, independent and strict. B: Positive, simple and graceful. C: Hardworking, dependent and tough.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: My name's Geoffrey Chaucer. It was 16thApril 1386, and I was in London at an inn in Southwark. Tomorrow I would go to Canterbury, to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket, together with twenty-nine other people. Before I say more, I want to tell you about some of the people with me. First there was a knight, a good man who fought well and knew many different countries. He was a true friend to everyone, and always helped people when they needed it. His clothes were old, dark, and dirty from many years of fighting. Then there was a businessman with an expensive hat on his head. The man, who looked wealthier than he truly was, always said, "I'm doing very well." A very quick thinker, he talked about ships and the sea a lot, and showed much interest in changing money from different countries. After the businessman came a franklin with a white beard. He asked people from near and far to visit him at home as he liked eating and drinking and having a good time with others. He was an important man, he knew right from wrong, and people listened to him. There was a woman from Bath. Her face was open, and nice-looking, but she couldn't hear very well. In her red dress, she was a big woman with a big smile and big teeth, laughing a lot and talking easily. She knew all about love. So there we were, all thirty of us, at the inn. The landlord, a tall fat man, brought us the best dinner in London. He would also join our journey tomorrow. After we finished eating, the landlord smiled, suggesting "We're going to Canterbury tomorrow, and that's four days from here. One by one, let's all tell a story on the road to make the time go quicker. And to the teller of the best story we can give a free dinner here at my inn when we get back. What do you say?" We all said "yes" happily to him. Then the question for us was: _ ? Question: Which of the following can be described as kind-hearted? Options: A: The knight. B: The businessman. C: The franklin. D: The woman.
