I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: China Daily: As China comes down from a travel rush during the seven-day holiday for National Day, people called for a return of the Labor Day Golden Week holiday as a way to ease the travel peak. By Friday, 79 million passengers were expected to have used the railways up about 8 percent over last year. Waterways had shipped around 2 million, a rise of about 17 percent on last year, www. cntv. cn, the website of China Central Television, said on Saturday. As large numbers of tourists _ scenic spots around China, it caused huge crowds and many complaints. The Forbidden City in Beijing has long been a big draw for travelers. On Tuesday alone, the museum reported, it received more than 180,000 visitors, about six times higher than a regular day. According to China Central Television, restless visitors demanded their money back from the tourism committee, and police were sent to help deal with the problem. The Beijing-HongKong-Macao expressway, the Shanghai-Kunming expressway and the route from Beijing to Kunming saw large increases in traffic on Saturday, according to www. cntv. cn. "As there are only two long holidays in the country and paid leave is not well carried out by employers , people have limited chances for travel", Dai Bin, the director of China Tourism Academy, said in a report by Beijing Times on Saturday. "The travel rush during the 'Golden Week' holidays happens because people do not take long journeys during shorter holidays", said Liu Simin, a researcher with the China Academy of Social Sciences, in a report by Beijing Times on Saturday. Liu said that now the most important task is to ease the pressure from the huge numbers of tourists. When the Labor Day Golden Week holiday came to an end in 2007, a chance to travel was reduced. In 2008, the government shortened the Labor Day Golden Week holiday, usually lasting from May 1 to May 7, to three days and added three other short vacations to the list.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Father upset by Manchester school's 'Victorian' wall of shame Josie Robinson, who appeared on a so-called wall of shame at her school in south Manchester, was in tears. Her father has hit out at the "Victorian" methods. Chorlton High School put up pictures of year 10 pupils who teachers believed had behaved badly. Children singled out for praise were placed on the wall of fame. Its head teacher said the scheme was designed to motivate pupils. Carlo Robinson, whose daughter Josie was put on the wall after missing lessons, wants to make a complaint. The teenager had been missing school and turning up late because she was upset that her mother was ill. She said: " I thought it was embarrassing." Mr Robinson added: "She was in tears. She couldn't tell me at first - it took her about an hour- because she wasn't sure what I would think of it. When she told me I was really shocked. I contacted at least 20 friends and they all agreed it was wrong - it's like Victorian times." Head teacher Andy Park said: "We've successfully used a similar scheme in the past with Year 11 students to _ pupils and it really did make a difference - pupils took it in the right spirit and were motivated by it to improve their performance. Obviously this latest scheme wasn't intended to cause offence to pupils. It was actually developed to praise the students moving forwards successfully and to support pupils who needed to make improvements. No parents have complained directly to the school and I'd be very happy to meet with any parents to discuss further." Mr Robinson told the reporter he had contacted the school to schedule a meeting with the head teacher. Question: What does Mr. Robinson mean by saying this is the "Victorian" methods? Options: A: The methods ignore women's rights. B: The methods are totally out of time. C: The methods have a long history. D: The methods worked well in the past.
