Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Imagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens every day to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like _ Even though I'd never steal, store employees looked at me like I'm some kind of hardened criminal mastermind. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Grab "n" Go on Tuesday. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story:" NO MORE THAN TWO STUDENTS AT A TIME." After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, "You kids are lifting too much stuff." You kids? Too much stuff? Not only were we considered to be shoplifters, but brilliant, greedy shoplifters. The Grab "n" Go isn't an isolated case. Earlier this year, a department store worker told me to leave my backpack at the front of the store. When I asked who was going to keep an eye on my stuff, she said, "Don't worry. It isn't going anywhere." In other words, I had to risk losing my stuff so that the store wouldn't have to risk losing theirs. "Don't worry," I replied, "I don't need to shop here." The most annoying thing, though, is the way employees watch my friends and me. It's almost strange and frightening. Once, at a drug store, I went down an aisle and found a guy standing on a box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, which were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that? You know, _ . I work at the CD Crib, and every day I see adults commit a terrible crime. They put on a set of headphones and sort of dance to the music. Talk about bad! Tomorrow, I'm going to put a sign in the window: " NO MORE THAN TWO ADULTS LISTNENING TO MUSIC AT A TIME." Question: What is the tone of the writer? Options: A: Angry B: Sad C: Pleased D: Excited
Ans: A

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: According to a new study by Israel researchers from University of Haifa, posting blogs to express feelings and emotions is _ for children aged 13-17. Psychology professors Meyran Boniel-Nissim and Azy Barak have found that a teenager writing a publicly-viewed blog on the Internet is more effective for relieving stress rather than keeping a private diary. The study, published in the journalPsychological Services, supports that expressing oneself through writing can be therapeutic. To conduct the research, Boniel-Nissim and Barak randomly selected Israeli high school students who displayed a certain degree of stress. The teenagers were then divided into six groups. Two groups were asked to post blogs twice a week about their social difficulties, but only one of them was asked to open the blogs for comments. The next set of groups were also asked to blog twice a week to post about whatever was going on in their mind, again with one group allowing comments. The two control groups were asked to keep an old-fashioned private diary. The researchers then collected the blog posts and diaries to discuss the adolescents' emotional and social position. From the research, they saw that the greatest improvement in mood was with the bloggers who wrote about their personal troubles and allowed people to interact with their posts. The research also noted that the comments were mostly positive and constructive. Boniel-Nissim and Barak said that the commentators' interactions helped the bloggers while they were distressed. The conclusive research noted that expressing yourself on the Internet not only let others know what was personally going on with you, but also helped you figure out some things about yourself too. Question: The research shows that teens benefit most when _ . Options: A: they blog and allow comments B: they discuss their study on the blog C: they keep a traditional diary D: they comment on someone else's blog
Ans:
A
