I took her to the church in her old neighborhood. We got there early and I let her sit near the door, so people could see her when they came in. Soon some of her friends came to the church and they all talked to her and sat with her. Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there. She said she loved the gift like this. That night, I thought I got the best gift: the smile on Alice's face. . Question: Alice wanted to _ on Christmas Eve.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon. There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage --- chocolate's growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause. Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What's worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money. To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time. First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre's fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they're disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed. To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope! Question: What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre? Options: A: To introduce cocoa production to more countries. B: To provide more chocolate for British people. C: To produce stronger types of cocoa plants. D: To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.

Ques: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it. One day a man went into the store. "That's a beautiful bird," he said to the pet store owner, "But why is it so expensive? Is it unusual bird?" "No, it's not very unusual. It's expensive because it can talk," the pet store owner said. "I see. How can I make it talk?" the man asked. The pet store owner asked him, "Do you see those string tied to each of the bird's legs?" "Yes," the man answered. "Well, you pull those strings," the pet store owner told him. "That will make the parrot talk." The man asked, "Do you mind if I try?" "Not at all," the pet store owner said. The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, "Good morning." The man pulled the string on the parrot's right leg. This time the parrot said, "How are you today?" "That's not very interesting," said the man. "Any parrot could do that." Then he laughed, "But what would happen if I pulled both strings at the same time?" "I'll fall off my perch, you fool!" the parrot said. Question: The best title for the passage should be " _ ".
