I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Liu Jiaoyang,16,carefully winds a bobbin with thread, places it on her sewing machine and then presses her foot down to begin sewing. While she's doing this,she pretends to guide cloth through the machine. Each Tuesday afternoon,after the bell rings for the fourth period, Liu becomes a fashion designer. At the same time,the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University in Kunming are also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones. Some students dance,others create robots,and still others review films. These are just a few of the 28 elective courses the school began to offer last month. "The fashion design class has become the bright point of my week. I learn how to choose color1s and cloth as well as sewing and sketching skills. It's all helping me to realize the dream of becoming a fashion designer I've had since I was a little girl," Liu said. Design is Liu' s passion,but for other students the electives are more an opportunity to take a fun course that relieves the pressures of schoolwork. Some students,for example,are learning how to play bridge. Chen Xiejiao,15,is one of them. "Many people think that playing a card game like this in class is a waste of time. But in fact,bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory and math skills," she said. Li Ke,15, is studying robotics. "I hope to have built and designed my own robot by the end of the semester. It will be able to complete a task,like moving a bail from one place to another," he said . Question: Which do you think is the best title for the passage? Options: A: Our Time to Choose. B: How to Use a Sewing Machine. C: Three Students in the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University. D: The Most Popular Course in School.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The winter holiday season is the busiest time of the year in the US, and Thanksgiving is the one holiday this time of year that doesn't get the attention it deserves -- it is often overshadowed by Christmas. However, I still feel the festive atmosphere in my family. Each year, I attend not just one Thanksgiving dinner, but typically between three and four. Thanksgiving lasts all throughout the second half of the week. I travel to different houses to spend time with different parts of my family. We usually eat a giant amount of traditional Thanksgiving foods such as deviled eggs, ham, green beans, potatoes, and breads. We don't eat the traditional turkey like many families do, but we have just about everything else that someone would want to eat. After eating, we sit around and chat. Usually someone has brought a guest, such as a new boyfriend/girlfriend or a new baby, so there's always a chance to get to know the new family member, as well as catching up with family that I haven't seen for a long time. My extended families are very different, which makes for different holiday experiences. My other's family is very polite and quiet, and that makes the dinner with them seem very formal. My father's family is the opposite. They're loud and don't even try to control what words come out of their mouths. Their Thanksgiving usually includes yelling at whatever football game is on the television. It's very casual and relaxed. Either way, it's nice to be able to see my family and spend time with them. In my eyes, Thanksgiving is a holiday based on being thankful for what you have, spending tine with family, and eating a lot more food than you probably should. Not all these things go with its history, but it makes for a nice tradition. Question: What does the author think of her parents'families? Options: A: She thinks that her parents'families have a lot in common with each other. B: She believes that her mother and father's families should learn from each other. C: She prefers her father's family's casual way of celebrating Thanksgiving to her mother's family's way. D: She enjoys spending time both of her parents'families although they are quite different.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behavior when they are watched. Do you? A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box. Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behavior. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow _ into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realizing it. It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning. The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption 'I Want You' It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese. Question: Where would the study described in the text most likely be found? Options: A: In a newspaper. B: In a scientific journal. C: In an advertising magazine. D: In a science textbook.
