I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals . If we look at someone else's body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication. In case you don't think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people's body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A lady in an old cotton dress and her husband, dressed in an old suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked into the president of Harvard's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such country people had no business at Harvard. She frowned . "We want to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary said coldly. "We'll wait," the lady replied. For hours, the secretary didn't talk to them, hoping that the couple would finally become tired and go away. They didn't. And the secretary finally decided to disturb the president. "Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him. He frowned too. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them. The president walked toward them unwillingly. The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to set up a memorial to him somewhere on campus. " The president was so surprised that he shouted sharply, "We can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. This place would look like a cemetery . "Oh, no" the lady explained, "We don't want to build a statue. We thought we would give a building to Harvard." The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at their plain clothes, and said with surprise, "A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard." For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they set up the university with their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about. Question: From the passage, we can know _ . Options: A: the old couple were in fact rich people B: the secretary was afraid of the old couple C: the old couple's son was killed in Harvard D: the president of Harvard was kind and patient to anyone
