Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Who are the top students in the world, do you know? Last week the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development picked the best students in the world. They are Finnish . The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 countries and regions last year. The OECD wanted to know how well students were doing at school. Finnish students were No. 1 in the reading test and second in maths after Hong Kong students. Those from Japan and Finland were top in science. In the problem solving, Finnish students came second to those from South Korea. The test also showed Finland had more top students than the other countries. Finns of your age have done a really good job but don't have a sense of envy. You can learn from them. Most Finnish students make good use of the Internet. Of course not for computer games, but for doing more exercises and finding out more information. Libraries are also important. Finland spends a lot of money on them. Many students have a free card. They read for at least one or two hours a day. What do you usually do on the Internet? How often do you go to libraries? Question: Which of the following is NOT true? Options: A: Hong Kong students were No. 1 in maths. B: Finnish students were the first of all the tests. C: Finnish students did well in the problem solving. D: Japanese students were top in science.
