I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Parents at one Connecticut elementary school say they are angry over the use of so-called "scream rooms" to discipline special needs students. The two rooms at Farm Hill Elementary School in Middletown, Conn., came under fire after several students complained about the sounds of children yelling coming from the rooms, while building keepers reported having to clean up blood and urine from their floors and walls. Tricia Belin, whose two children attend the school, described the rooms as 6-by-4-foot space with concrete walls used to isolate special needs students who are disruptive in the classroom. "Closet is pretty much what it is," Belin said and her children are regularly subjected to "screaming"coming from inside the rooms. Belin said she complained to the school's principal when she first learned about them last October, and was told they were considered and "alternative learning environment," but he did not say whether students were placed in them alone or with a teacher. Shawn Archer, whose 10-year-old daughter also attends the school, said parents were never notified about the rooms and claims his child and others are fearful of them. Board of Education Chairman Gene Nocera acknowledged in an interview that the reports about the rooms were "disturbing" and said school officials were investigating their use. "We understand the parents' concerns and we take their concerns very seriously," Nocera said. "We want to be sure our students are being treated safely." He stressed that under school policy, no child is to be left alone at any time. He said the school district is looking to give more resources to the school, including hiring full-time psychologists and providing more training to all the teachers. Question: What's the school's purpose of having "scream rooms"? Options: A: To give extra lessons to special needs students. B: To offer students a place to relieve bad feelings. C: To keep badly behaved students there. D: To experiment on a new way of teaching.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When war broke out between Spain and the United States, it was very necessary to communicate quickly with General Garcia, who was somewhere in the mountains of Cuba -- No one knew where. The President must secure his cooperation, and quickly. What to do! Someone said to the President, "A fellow by the name of Rowan will find Garcia for you, if anybody can." Rowan was sent for and given a letter to be delivered to Garcia. How he took the letter, in four days landed by night off the coast of Cuba from an open boat, disappeared into the jungle, in three weeks came out on the other side of the Island, and had delivered his letter to Garcia, are things I have no special desire now to tell in detail. The point I wish to make is this: Rowan was given a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter and did not ask, "Where is he?" He was loyal to a trust. He acted quickly and concentrated the energies: do the thing -- "Carry a message to Garcia!" My heart goes out to the man who, when given a letter for Garcia, quietly takes it, without asking any idiotic questions, but delivers it. This man is wanted in every city, town and village -- in every office, shop, store and factory. The world cries out for such: he is needed, and needed badly -- the man who can carry a message to Garcia. Question: What is the author's attitude toward Rowan? Options: A: He laughed at Rowan. B: He praised Rowan's deed. C: He blamed Rowan. D: He doubted Rowan's ability.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family. Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world. Question: What can we infer from the passage? Options: A: Many workers have to work long hours. B: Many people have vacations long enough. C: Work hours are the same around the world. D: There are a lot of dull people in the world.

Ques:I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: My father passed away in a nursing home on a September day. I never remembered him telling me he loved me. Upon hearing his death, I didn't feel the need to cry. I struggled with my lack of strong feelings over his passing, knowing it was not healthy for me to avoid sadness.

Dear Daddy, I remember something today. I remember when I was 3 years old, mom carried me right before bedtime and you sang "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" to me, and I remember your voice like it was just yesterday. I remember the warmth of you lying next to me and how special I felt at that moment. Then my mom carried me off to my own bed to tuck me in. I remember times when I could sit out on the porch with you and watch an approaching thunderstorm, and you would tell me the scientific facts behind lightning and thunder. I thought you knew everything. I remember you taking my two brothers and me on trips to a stream out in the country on summer days. We would walk along the stream, picking wildflowers to take home to mother. I want to thank you for giving me an appreciation of nature and science and of God's beautiful creation, Earth. I want to thank you for making us take part in "family worship" every evening after dinner. I remember that Bible stories and the Golden Rule on how to treat others, and I learnt how to appreciate music in my life from the hymns we sang. I also learnt to harmonize with my sisters. And most of all, I want to forgive you. I forgive you for not being able to tell me that I was a special girl and that you loved me. I longed for your spoken affection. But I realize something in your own upbringing would not allow you to express your feelings verbally . I realize that you did the best that you could with what you knew.
