I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It was a party. I was 18 and it was fresher week. I was at the beginning of a course in English Literature and full of enthusiasm for my subject. She was also 18 and enrolled in a course in physics. "Your major is of no use to society. What will you do with it when you graduate, other than teach? Plus, you're going to be poor your whole life," she said. "You have no soul and your degree is boring. I don't care how much money you're going to earn. I'd rather be poor and don't mind being a teacher. If I love my work I'll have something far more meaningful than a big bank account!" came the reply. And so it went, back and forth, neither of us giving the other an inch, each of us stubbornly committed to our prejudice. We were both ignorant, but our ignorance was also society's ignorance. It had always been that way. Scientists mocked humanists; humanists laughed at scientists. Back in the 1960s, the physicist-turned novelist C. P. Snow labeled the sciences-humanities divide "a problem of 'the two cultures'" . He said it was bad for society. The modern world needed well-rounded people. I think I know better now, but it would have helped if we had been encouraged to think a little more outside our science and arts "boxes". That's why I believe it is healthy that China is beginning a debate on whether it's wise for young people to have to choose which direction their careers - and lives - will take at such an early age. At the moment, in their second year of high school, students must choose either the sciences or the humanities. After making the choice, they focus their energies on passing the appropriate college entrance exam. But now, people in China are asking: Is this forced, early decision good for young people or society? Young people need time to explore, to discover where their real talents and interests lie. There are more than just a few middle-aged people out there, stuck in jobs they hate because they made the wrong choice at the wrong time. And from the point of view of society, isn't it better for... Question: The author describes what happened at a fresher party to _ . Options: A: show that he was ready to defend the subject he enjoyed B: lead up his argument that the sciences-humanities divide is harmful C: prove that doing something meaningful is better than having a lot of money D: describe how fierce students of different majors can be when arguing with each other

Ques:I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Is crying good therapy? Experts say yes. Having a good weep at the weekend is becoming more popular among office workers in China. "I need to cry to let my feeling out," said 22-year-old Guo Meng, a smart-looking young woman. "I remember one day when I got home I felt so down but I had no one to talk to, so I just curled up with my teddy bear and cried myself to sleep," Guo said. The next day, she said, she felt much better and life seemed not so bad after all. Because crying is taken as a sign of weakness, people make a great show of being strong and not displaying emotion. Psychologists and medical practitioners agree that crying is beneficial for mental health but people still regard it as a sign of failure and bottle up their feelings. A famous Chinese author once said to cry is normal, and even brave. Those who display their emotions can deal with their troubles bravely after the tears dry, while those who soldier on let problems fester . In the Chaoyang district of Beijing, there is a special place for people to cry their sadness out. It is called "Cry Bar". On the door of each of its "cry rooms" there is a saying encouraging people to let the tears flow freely. "Crying is a kind of therapy, but it needs some direction," said Milulu, a psychologist. "People should realize the point of crying is to relieve pressure, but some of the young people who come to the Cry Bar simply sit and weep. The purpose of crying is to make it easier to improve your life after the tears dry, not to get lost in bad memories." Crying is only one way of relieving pressure, and we need to face problems squarely and solve them once the tears have dried, said Mululu. Question: From the text, we can learn that crying _ . Options: A: is to relieve pressure B: must help to solve problems C: means facing problems squarely D: can't weaken sad feelings.
