Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Bad behavior is something that most people don't want to tolerate. However, we have had to tolerate it more and more with each passing year. There seems to be no concern for other people's feelings; nor do we seem to care about other people's property. We live in an age where saying what is on our minds has priority over any harm that it might do. There are ways to deal with bad behavior in modern times, though. Too many of us let bad behavior go because we don't want to rock the boat. This is the time that you should rock the boat and rock it hard. Let people know that you expect it to change. That is the key to dealing with bad behavior. If it continues, take the proper action for the situation you are in. If you have developed the habit of bad behavior, take a hard look at it and then change it. You can't expect others to behave well if you aren't willing to look at your own bad behavior and change it. If you don't have control over anything in a situation, just walk away from it and move on to something that you do have control over. You needn't feel ashamed of that. Besides, you must stand firm in what you believe. You can't control what other people do, but you can control what you do about it. You can't go wrong if you stand firm in what you believe. Understanding your responsibility is also important. Don't try to take on the responsibility for other people's behavior. Take care of what you have to and do it in the way you know it should be done. The rest will take care of itself. Bad behavior is on the rise with more and more people behaving badly without having to pay any consequences. Worry about how you behave rather than how others behave. Pretty soon, it just may catch on. Question: Why do many people behave badly according to the passage? Answer:

OPTIONS:
- Because bad behavior is often ignored.
- Because people are often influenced by others.
- Because people aren't punished for their bad behavior.
- Because people haven't realized its consequences.

Answer: Because people aren't punished for their bad behavior.

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: The weather across much of Europe and sections of Asia has been very cold since last week. Hundreds of people have died from the cold. It has also been a source of fun for winter sports enthusiasts and has raised doubts about global warming. Europeans were digging themselves out of heavy snow after a week-long cold snap in which the number of dead--most of them homeless--continued to rise by the day. The big freeze has caused traffic mess from Siberia to Rome, blocking roads, closing schools, shutting airports, and trapping thousands in remote mountain villages in Europe. Temperatures have fallen as low as 36 degrees below zero in Ukraine, the hardest-hit country. Serbia on Sunday declared an emergency situation, saying the extremely big snowfall has put normal life at risk. But the deep freeze has also offered opportunities for snowy fun. In Sarajevo, young people snowboarded down white streets. Others competed with videos on YouTube to show the craziest jump into the snow from second floor apartments--most of them wearing only bathing suits. In the Netherlands, Europe's deep freeze means the country's almost imaginary "Eleven Cities Tour" ice skating marathon could be staged later this month for the first time in 15 years. The race is expected to draw thousands of participants and more than a million viewers. The cold snap has also caused people to doubt global warming claims--if the Earth is getting warmer, why have recent winters been colder? Zhang Peiqun, assistant chief engineer of the National Climate Center, explained in an interview with xinhuanet. com: "Global warming refers to broad changes over a long time period, mainly in the past 100 years. It doesn't contradict with the phenomenon that some time in some places the temperature is lower than usual." He also added that it has been a long time debate whether the Earth is getting warmer or colder. "No matter which opinion is correct, a bigger question faces us: how do we deal with the resulting extreme weathers?" he said. Question: What would be the best title of the passage? Answer:

OPTIONS:
- Hardest Winter To Go
- Weather Getting Crazy
- Snow Causes Mess
- Freeze Raises Issues

Answer: Freeze Raises Issues

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening near my parents' tomb in the churchyard. "Hold your noise!" came a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the tombs at the side of the church. "Keep still, you little devil , or I'll cut your throat!" A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. He seized me by the chin . "Tell us your name!" said the man. "Quick!" "Pip, sir." "Show us where you live," said the man. "Point out the place!" I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church. The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread. "You young dog," said the man, licking his lips, "what fat cheeks you ha' got. Darn me if I couldn't eat em, and if I han't half a mind to't!" I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn't, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying. "Now then lookee here!" said the man. "Where's your mother?" "There, sir!" said I. He started, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his shoulder. "There, sir!" I timidly explained, pointed to the tombstone. "That's my mother." "Oh!" said he, coming back. "And is that your father alonger your mother?" "Yes, sir," said I; "him too; late of this parish ." Question: The boy probably lived _ . Answer:

- in the parish
