I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight began. What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, disputants sit down with peer mediators . Peer mediators are usually students with special training in this kind of problems. Peer mediators help disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use. 1. Express what you think clearly but don't say anything to hurt the other. Begin with "I feel" instead of "You always". 2. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don't stop the other person's words. 3. Keep looking at the other person's eyes when he or she speaks. 4. Try to see the problems on the other person's side. 5. Never _ . Saying things like "You are foolish " makes the talk difficult. 6. Try to find a result that makes both people happy. Peer mediators never decide on the winner. They don't decide who is right or who is wrong. Instead they help disputants to find their own "win-win" result. A "win-win" result can make everyone feel good. Peer mediators' work is often successful just because it gets disputants to talk to each other. And getting disputants to talk to each other is the first step in finding a "win-win" result. Question: During the talk, if peer mediators say "You are a fool.", Options: A: disputants will realize they are wrong B: disputants will understand peer mediators better C: it is easy for peer mediators to decide who is right D: it is hard for peer mediators to get a "win-win" result

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The children in the village wear dirty, cheap clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in small houses. They have no school. But they can write 26 English letters, and some know a few English words. How did it happen? It was because a U.S. group called One Computer Every Child offered them 20 computers. Can children teach themselves to read when they have no schools or teachers but have the help of today's new technology ? The goal of the group is to find out the answer. And the results are exciting. "The children are learning more than they would in one year of school," said Matt Keller, who organized the programme. The fastest learner was an eight-year-old boy called Kelbesa Negusse. He said that he himself was like a lion. Keller said, "Seven months ago he didn't know any English. But now he has known many words. I think if you give them food and water they will never leave the computer room. They will spend day and night there." Kelbesa said, "I like the computer because I can learn things with it." He added, "I know many English words, like dog, monkey, horse, sheep, cow, pig and cat." Keller said that One Computer Every Child was planning a programme for children who couldn't go to school. Question: How can the children in the village learn English words? Options: A: They go to school every day. B: They have good teachers. C: One Computer Every Child gave them computers. D: They can learn from books.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula . It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn't get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn't even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain. Question: How did great scientists study? Options: A: They read a lot of books and asked many questions while reading. B: They did thousands of experiments. C: They always worked hard and never wasted time. D: All of the above.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power. For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used. During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind Question: What is the best title for this passenger? Options: A: The clean and rich wind power B: Windmills were used everywhere C: The development of the wind power D: Windmills and the heavy pollution
