I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Deep into the night, the bus pulled in to a Howard Johnson's restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him , trying to imagine his life. One of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. After a long time, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in prefix = st1 /New Yorkfor the last four years, and now he was going home. "Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife. I said, 'Martha, I understand if you can not stay married to me'. I said I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn't stand it , if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget me . Get a new young man---she's a wonderful woman---and forget all about me. I told her she didn't have to write to me and she didn't. Not for the three and a half years." "Last week, when I was sure freedom was coming through, I wrote to her. I told her that if she had a new young man, I would understand. But if she didn't, if she would take me back, she should let me know. We used to live in the town,Brunswick, and there's a great big oak tree just as you come into the town. I told her if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and if she didn't want me, forgot me, no handkerchief and I'd keep going on through." Soon all the others were in it. When they were 20 miles fromBrunswick, the young men took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con's mask. Then it was 10 miles, and then 5, and the bus became very quiet. Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances. All except Vingo. Question: In the story, the yellow handkerchief probably means _ . Options: A: happiness B: sadness C: I hate you D: I still love you

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Australians are some of the largest consumers of meat in the world and the quality is extremely high. The methods of cooking meat have changed greatly over the past years, partly because of the European and Asian comers who have introduced cooking traditions, and partly because of a new health idea. Classic European dishes are still popular, but Asian food--with Japanese and Thai joining Chinese, has long been a favorite. Australians, however, also like a traditional roast of beef, lamb or pork and visitors will find these on many restaurant menus. There is a seemingly endless supply of ethnic restaurants providing food for the many nationalities that now live here. High-quality local foods with ethnic cooking methods have produced some of the best meals in the world. Most Australian families have outdoor barbecue facilities. Many parks and beaches have barbecue areas. You will hear the steady sizzle of meat and seafood over coals around the country in summer evenings and during weekends. Many small hotels and clubs have outdoor eating or barbecue facilities, where customers can choose and cook their own steak. Chicken is the most commonly used bird for eating. Duck, goose, and turkey are also bred and Australian pigeon is among the best in the world. Kangaroos and water buffaloes are also slaughtered for meat in some states. Question: If you go to Australia, you will find that _ . Options: A: you can enjoy many different kinds of meat in Australia B: a lot of restaurants in Australia only serve ethnic groups C: classic European dishes are the most popular in Australia now D: it's hard for you to taste real Australian meat in Australia today

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to go to face the music," it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, every one of us has had to "face the music", especially as children. We can remember father's angry voice: "I want to talk to you!" And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase "face the music" is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from? The first explanation came from the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on stage. After they got their clue to go on , they often said, "It's time to go to face the music." And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra which was just below the stage. An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his . But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So "face the music" came to mean: having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice. Question: Which of the following is NOT true? Options: A: The expression came from James Fenimore Cooper, an American novelist B: The expression has a history of 100 years. C: If someone doesn't obey his boss, he will have to face the music. D: Almost everyone once had an experience to face the music.
