I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: For many years, we couldn't talk with the deaf. These deaf people couldn't use a spoken language. But beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language. How did this sign language work? The deaf learnt to make certain movements with their hands, faces and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This meant "you are not telling the truth". They might tap their chin with three fingers. This meant "my uncle". The deaf learned to see a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute. The deaf don't use the sign language and finger spelling as much as they once were. Today, the deaf learn to understand others by watching their lips. They also learn how to speak. Question: How long has the sign language been taught? Options: A: For 1700 years. B: For 700 years. C: Since about 300 years ago. D: Since about 200 years ago.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Students at a primary school in Fuzhou, Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits. But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores . They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners. In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks,because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only. In recent years, some parents will _ when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools' teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students' best qualities. What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students' minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students' in-school experiences more meaningful. Question: Some parents think that the school should provide students with _ . Options: A: a proper education B: a chance to be cleaners C: a chance to be teachers D: more housework
Ans: A

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: For thousands of years, people have used plants to make medicines. They used different parts of the plants --the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark . Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal values of some plants. Let's look at some examples. Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems. In some areas, _ has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria. For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria. In Germany, some scientists studied garlic for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied. As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world. Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other 99 percent. Question: What can foxglove be used for? Options: A: Studying plants. B: Building up the plaque. C: Treating AIDS and cancer. D: Preventing heart problems.
