Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Sam "Fingers" had been in trouble all his life. He'd started stealing things when he was only a kid. He used to walk through the street market near his home and "pick up" a few things--an apple, or a hairbrush perhaps. But things got worse as Sam got older. By the time he was twenty-five, he was spending a lot of time stealing and then he got caught. While he was in prison he decided that he'd never steal again. He really had to stop. On his first day out of prison, Sam went for a walk along the High Street. It was so nice to walk along in the crowds and looked at the shops. Oh, the shops! "I'll just go into this jeweler's and have a look around," Sam said to himself. "There's nothing to worry about. No more stealing for me." Then Sam saw the diamond ring. He'd always wanted to give one to his girlfriend. And nobody was looking. In a minute the ring was in his pocket and Sam was walking out of the shop. But as he went towards the door he felt a hand on his shoulder, "I shall have to call the police." "I'll pay for it. Yes, I'll pay for it," said Sam. With a smile, the manager handed him the bill: 500! "Err, um, well..." said Sam. "I really didn't want to spend that much. Would you please show me something a little cheaper?" Question: People called him "Fingers" because he was a _ . - prisoner - piano-player - thief - small boy

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: As you are probably aware,the latest job markets news isn't good:Unemployment is still more than 9 percent,and new job growth has fallen close to zero.That's bad for the economy,of course.And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now.But it actually shouldn't matter to you nearly as much as you think. That's because job growth numbers don't matter to job hunters as much as job staff-turnover data.After all,existing jobs open up every day due to promotions,resignations,and retirements.(Yes,people are retiring even in this economy.)In both good times and bad,staff-turnover creates more openings than economic growth does.Even in June of 2007,when the economy was still booming along,job growth was only 132,000,while staff-turnover was 4.7 million! And as it turns out,even today--with job growth near zero--over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month. I don't mean to imply that overall job growth doesn't have an impact on one's ability to land a job.It's true that if total employment were higher.it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for).And it's true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening,regardless of whether it's a new one or not. But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don't is their ability to stay motivated.They're willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learn how to present themselves to potential employers;and keep going,even after repeated rejections.The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn't hunted for it within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed. So don't let the headlines fool you into giving up.Four million people get hired every month in the U.S.You can be one of them Question: What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data? - They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is. - They provide the public with the latest information. - They warn of the structural problems in the economy. - They don't include those who have stopped looking for a job.
(Answer)
They don't include those who have stopped looking for a job.

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: The Kinema, Lincolnshire It's a wooden building on the outside and a two-screen cinema on the inside, all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village. The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchair . Today, it's more richly decorated. "People come here because it's a fantastic experience," says manager Philip Jones. "Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special." The Cube, Bristol It's not really a cinema. It is a not-for-profit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15 years. They are "unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding." They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt. The Broadway, Nottingham A cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films, which heavily influenced his career choice. Later, he designed the stripy sofas. The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its independent, art house, and DIY spirit. The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer. The Rex, Hertfordshire It opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. There's a varied program with different films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned. And a real person answers the phone when you call. People speak very highly of the Rex. So do go, if only once, to see just how a cinema should be run. Question: Which of the following has the longest history? - The Kinema. - The Cube. - The Broadway. - The Rex.
