Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed am empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat _ . He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We cautiously began a conversion and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, "My I get you something?" "A coffee would be nice." Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, "How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?" "Who?" "The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs." I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men! My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are.
A: Question: How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?Options:A Proud.B Pitiful.C Surprised.D RegretfulAnswer:C

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Most of us are used to seasons. Each year, spring follows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring. And winter is colder than summer. But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience. Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now. During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling. Ice melted during the warm periods, which made sea levels rise. Water froze again during the cold periods. A new study from Switzerland, sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age. It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern or southern regions. This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern. Scientists have long assumed that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere during the 30,000-year long ice age. That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land. If surrounded by sea the ice can easily just slip into the ocean instead of building up. The researchers used a computer model to look at ways the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels. They compared these results to evidence of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time. The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would have been a bigger impact on ocean currents and sea temperatures than what actually happened. Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too. The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that ice melted equally in the North and the South. It is still a mystery as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt.
A: Question: The North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean. So scientists thought that _ .Options:A most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphereB most of the ice melted in the Southern hemisphereC The North Pole is colder than South PoleD The South Pole is colder than North PoleAnswer:A

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: There was good news last week for people who struggle to get eight hours of sleep a night: they may not need so much shut-eye after all. Researchers from UCLA and elsewhere looked at sleep habits of remote hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia -- groups with pre-industrial lifestyles whose sleep patterns are believed to reflect those of ancient humans. The researchers found that, on average, members of each group sleep a bit less than six and a half hours a night. The study, published in the academic journalCurrent Biology, indicates that "natural" sleep is less than eight hours a night and that modern society's numerous electronic distractions aren't necessarily to blame for people getting just six or seven hours of sleep. "The story that often gets out is that if you sleep for less than seven hours, you're going to die early," he told me. "That's not true." Yet Americans are addicted to getting more sleep -- and on turning to medical shortcuts to help them. According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as 70 million U.S. adults suffer from sleep disorders or sleeplessness. Only a third of Americans get the government's recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a night. About 9 million American adults use sleeping pills to help get a good night's rest, the CDC found. Siegel said the number of people relying on medicines "has gone up rather rapidly since then." Industry consulting firm GlobalData estimates that worldwide sales for sleeplessness medicines will run about $1.4 billion next year and reach $1.8 billion by 2023, recovering from lower sales in recent years because of cheaper generics hitting the market. Dr. Roy Artal, a sleep specialist in West Los Angeles, said it's understandable that busy people in today's go-go world would turn to medicines to speed up the sleep process. But all they're doing is building a reliance on powerful drugs for relatively little improvement. "There's no magic pill that makes us sleep when we want and wake up when we want," Artal said. "The effects...
A: Question: The main idea of this passage is that _ .Options:A people may not need eight hours of sleep a nightB people need sleeping pills to have a good sleepC sleeping pills have a long way to go for sleep improvementD sleeping pill industry will suffer great losses from the new discoveryAnswer:A

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Body language is a very powerful tool of communication, not only between people but in the animal world as well. In many instances, we produce idioms (,)which are all understandable by borrowing examples from animal communication. For example, we know that a frightened cat will arch its back high in rigid curve . From this starting-point we might hear the expression, "He gets my back up!" meaning "He makes me angry." In the same manner, we know that many animals, if challenged by attackers, will not turn and run away because this will encourage the attacker to attack them more forcefully. Instead, they will move backwards slowly to get out of harm's way, always still facing their attacker.We call this action " _ " and it can be used just as well with humans as with animals. In the case of humans, however, the back-off may not be physical but oral, as in using a kinder tone of voice and gentler words instead of fighting against the attackers.
A:
Question: When a cat arches its back high in a rigid curve, it shows that it is _ .Options:A angryB pleasedC frightenedD defeatedAnswer:C
