I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Depression is a serious problem today.Depression causes workers to be unproductive,causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars.One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is "widespread,costly and deadly".Depression hits one person in five around the world. Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated,studies show that depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period,between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression. suicide rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large,and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping,getting up on time,and doing work productively. Depression,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes ,brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently. Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese's inability to face it.Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides,there is no good treatment,with few specialists available. "Most patients in China just don't get help,"a Chinese doctor says."In my hospital.I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning,just have time to say "Hello how do you feel?" In Western countries,people are not afraid to admit that they have depression,but most do not tell it to their boss,because they fear that their boss would fire them. "In my experience,aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most secure about themselves,"an American doctor says. Hopefully,in the near future,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment. Question: Depression becomes more serious in China because of. Options: A: the understanding of the problem B: the lack of treatment and doctors C: their unwillingness to tell it to their boss D: the doctors' careless work

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I had worked long and hard on this project. Knowing it was finally completed gave me great satisfaction. "Perfect!"I said "Now, all I have to do is to keep the dogs off it."I went about setting . Up barriers using old fence, deck chairs, planters, and anything I could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet . It worked perfectly . Just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower, I took one last look at this fine work of art. "What is that?"I said. "Where did that come from ?" Clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area, the tiny marks ran in straight lines. .I carefully stepped to our flower garden. It was there I found several of the small markings. Now, almost frozen in place by this shocking discovery, I remained in position so as to prevent further damage to my work.. Just then, off to my left, it appeared. A chipmunk . He was as surprised as I was . We stood there face to face looking at each other, wondering who would make the first move . The warm , humid air was now getting the best of me . Sweat now ran freely over my head, and in poor timing into my eyes . I reached up to rub them and when I opened my eyes he was gone . My only satisfaction was in thinking that when he returned home he tracked oily footprints into his own home . And , hoping he was married , his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life . I stood up, shook my head, laughing about it and walking into my house. Yes, I tracked oil on the carpet. I am married. My wife will not let me live it down for the rest of my life . Question: We can know from the passage that the chipmunk _ . Options: A: made fun of the author B: stole something important in the house C: spoiled the author's work D: came for some food
