Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge a world famous scientist! Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator . They want it to take the place of litmus paper. "We've learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other." British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world. But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn't turn very blue with base matter. It's hard to get a clear result. Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out! How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground leaves, flowers and stems to get the pigments from them. The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best colour change. They decided it was the litmus paper! "It's our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder." Question: Whom did the three kids want to challenge? - Their chemistry teacher. - Their headmaster. - Robert Boyle - Thomas Edison
(A).
Robert Boyle

Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A: Recently, the word "clone" appeared very often in the newspapers. Do you know its meaning? B: Not exactly, I read a report in yesterday's newspaper. It said there was a Scottish Dolly. It was the first time that a cloned lamb had been made from an adult sheep. A: Actually, the word "clone" means to produce the "same" animal by taking cells from an adult one, I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only keep a small number of sheep, cows or horses. B: There's more to it. Recently there have been some people who ever want to clone humans. A: It seems interesting. But do you think it is possible to do that? B: No, I don't think so. First I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already. A: Then we can clone a living person? B: Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a replica , not real you. It is only something, not a human. A: Now, you mean that a real human can speak, think and create, and these abilities cannot be cloned? B: True enough! I think the main purpose of Dr. Lan Wilmot, the "father" of Dolly, is to make better animals. It has nothing to do with human cloning. ,. Question: The scientist who has cloned a lamb successfully is from _ . - America - Scotland - Japan - Russia

Ans:Scotland
