Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: I hate nosy neighbors and it's very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I've always hated the way they get "too close" to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans. One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn . My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was "normal" from their ideas. That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others. I've heard it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a "nosy neighbor" who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this "nosy neighbor" was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor. It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave them all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn't want us to experience the same thing that they did. Question: What made the author angry? - His neighbor's wife was looking through his rubbish. - His neighbors were mowing their lawn one morning. - His neighbors got too close to his own home. - His neighbors came to knock at his door at night.
Ans: His neighbor's wife was looking through his rubbish.

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: A group that rescues wildlife has started to search for land and money to build a bird and wildlife hospital in San Francisco. "About 40 volunteers care for injured animals in their homes," founder Jamie Ray said. Ray presented her proposal to build a $2 million wildlife hospital and nature center to environment commissioners recently. "What we need is to be able to build a 100-foot-long flight aviary for hawks that are recovering and to have water pools for recovering water birds," Ray said. She hopes they will open by the end of 2010, and will be able to care for oiled birds after more than 50,000 gallons of fuel flowed into the Bay. "For any animal, whether it is oiled, injured or anything else, getting it immediate care is important to its survival," she said. Department employees drive as many as 350 injured animals every year to a wildlife hospital, according to Friedman. He said around 80 percent of those animals are birds. "It would be wonderful to have a wildlife rehabilitation center here in San Francisco," Friedman said. Ray's proposal includes aviaries as well as a nature education center and outdoor picnic area. She has suggested building the center at Lake Merced or in western Golden Gate Park. A parking lot, soccer field and storage area are presently being planned for construction at the Golden Gate Park site. Any changes to those plans would need to be _ by department commissioners. The Board of Supervisors is also in charge of those plans. Question: What do we know about oiled birds? - They are being cared for by volunteers. - They are probably water birds. - They are called oiled birds because they can produce oil. - They are birds usually seen in San Francisco.
Ans: They are probably water birds.
