I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: In western countries, especially in America, some social customs have lasted still today. For example, ladies first, that is to say, women in those countries are respected in many ways. In the U.S. and Europe, you will see men usually open doors for women and women generally walk ahead of men into a room or a restaurant unless the man have to be ahead of the ladies to choose the table, to open the door of a car or to give other services. On the street, men almost walk or across the street on the side of the ladies which is closer to traffic, but if a man walks with two ladies, he should walk between them. Question: In which country people may think it strange that men should open doors for women? Options: A: England B: Italy C: Japan D: Germany

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A mother came to the police station and put cash totaling $19.53 on a table. Her young son added another 85 cents to the little pile. It turned out that, after two days, they were the only people to return money picked up from a truck that fell over on an overpass and rained more than half a million dollars onto the street below. Police said that witnesses reported seeing people load money into their cars and drive off while the truck driver lay bleeding. Police required people to return the money, but sadly they got nothing but laughter until a mother and a boy came in. "I have children and I need to set a good example," said the mother of six, who could have used a little extra cash to _ her low wage. When this mother one day passes away, she will leave her children a lot to benefit from. Maybe not a pile of money, but she will leave them an example of life of honesty and self-respect. She will leave them something far more important than wealth. Most people talk about values and what they believe to be right and wrong. But I've noticed that our real values can be seen by the way we live. It is the things we do and the choices we make that show what we truly believe. Question: The mother and son went to the police station to _ . Options: A: gave their money to the police B: return the money from the truck C: report an accident to the police D: comfort the unfortunate driver

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It must have been around nine o'clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the head lights of the car so as to prevent the beam from swinging through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But I needn't have done so. I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway--unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps. Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack's room. He was in bed awake, but he didn't even turn towards me. "What's up, Jack?" I asked. "For God's sake, don't make a noise," he said. The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself serious injury. "Take your shoes off, Neville," Jack said. I thought that he must be ill and that I had better give way to him to keep him happy. "There is a snake here," he explained. "It's asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it.I knew that moving was _ . I could not have moved even I'd wanted to." I realized that he was serious. "I was depending on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home," Jack went on. "It has not bitten me yet but I dare not do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I'm sick of this," he said."I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago." There was no time to argue or apologize for being late.I looked at him as encouraging as I could and went to telephone the doctor. Question: The reason why Neville thought that Jack must be ill is that Jack _ . Options: A: asked Neville to take off his shoes B: made a gesture to show the presence of the snake C: was afraid to upset the snake sleeping between the sheets D: behaved strangely as if he were badly hurt

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Every immigrant leads a double life. Every immigrant has a double identity and a double vision, being suspended between an old and a new home, an old and new self. The very notion of a new home, of course, is in a sense as impossible as the notion of new parents. Parents are who they are; home is what it is. Yet home, like parentage, must be legitimized through love; otherwise, it is only a fact of geography or biology. Most immigrants to America found their love of their old homes betrayed: they did not really abandon their countries; their countries abandoned them. In America, they found the possibility of a new love, the chance to nurture new selves. Not uniformly, not without exceptions. Every generation has its Know-Nothing movement. Its understandable fear and hatred of alien invasion is as true today as it always was, but in spite of all this, the American attitude remains unique. Throughout history, exile has been a disaster; America turned it into a triumph and placed its immigrants in the center of a national epic. The epic is possible because America is an idea as much as it is a country. America has nothing to do with loyalty to a dynasty and very little to do with loyalty to particular place, but everything to do with loyalty to a set of principles. To immigrants, those principles are especially real because so often they were absent or violated in their native lands. It was no accident in the '60 and '70s, when alienation was in flower, that it often seemed to be "native" Americans who felt alienated, while aliens or the children of aliens upheld the native values. The immigrant's double vision results in a special, somewhat skewed perspective on America that can mislead but that can also find revelation in the things that to native Americans are obvious. Psychiatrist Robert Coles speaks of those "who straddle worlds and make of that very experience a new world." "Home is where you are happy." Sentimental, perhaps, and certainly not conventionally patriotic, but is appropriate for a country... Question: What can be the best title of the passage? Options: A: Love America, Love Yourself B: Home Is Where You Are Happy C: Experience a New World D: Be a Real American Immigrant
