Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Very often, newly-born babies are not beautiful. They are wrinkled or hairless, or they have an angry look on their face. They seem to say, "Get away! I hate everybody." But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When that proud father or mother asks you, "Well, what do you think...isn't she beautiful?" What are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth? Of course not! You look at that proud father or mother in the eye and say, "Yes, she is! She is really a beauty. She's one in a million. She's going to be a movie star! I can tell! She's as beautiful as a picture." In English, this is a _ lie. White lies don't hurt people. They are not cruel or angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don't want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don't like at a friend's house, they tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They feel that being kind is sometimes more important than telling the truth. Question: When a parent asks what you think of their new baby, they want you to _ . Answer:
OPTIONS:
- tell the truth
- say what you like
- tell lies
- say good words

Answer: say good words

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: According to the studies from the UN, the increase of CO2in the air is responsible for 85% of the temperature increase.

The rest gases are still large to cause worry. At the same time, we are cutting down forests that take in carbon from the air. To solve the problem is not an easy job. Developed nations such as the USA, Germany and Australia will have to promise to cut down greenhouse gases by as much as 25-40%.
