Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: This Friday is TombSweeping Day, one of the three traditional festivals that are included as the Chinese mainland's public holidays starting this year. Together with the Dragon Boat Festival in June and MidAutumn Festival in September, the authorities say observing these days is aimed at protecting folk culture and customs. Chinese nationwide should thank Chen Jing, a 68yearold folk artist and professor from Nanjing University for the move. "It is certainly a favorable gesture for the promotion and preservation of folk culture and customs," Chen said. In 2006, Chen proposed to the authorities to make TombSweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival, a public holiday. His suggestion received wide support from other folk artists. "TombSweeping Day means a lot to the Chinese," Chen said. It is a day for people to honour their ancestors. Two years ago, on his trip to honour his ancestor in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, he found the train full of people, most of whom were the elderly. From the conversation with them, he found the elderly thought it necessary to include young family members in the festival's activities, while working people also wanted the chance to honor their ancestors. Among those he spoke to was an elderly man from Hongkong, who told Chen TombSweeping Day is a holiday in Hongkong for paying tribute to ancestors. Chen was inspired by the experience and insight from these people and put forward the suggestion for the holiday during an interview by mainstream media. "If we do not take immediate action, our traditional folk customs will be forgotten by the younger generation," he said. His idea soon spread all over the country and was echoed by many scholars and experts. Question: The best title of the passage is _ . - How people observe TombSweeping Day - The aim of protecting folk culture and custom - TombSweeping Day, a traditional Chinese festival - One man's mission to help keep a traditional custom alive
A: One man's mission to help keep a traditional custom alive

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Almost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia. The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around. But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design. In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road--a base layer of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads . As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster. Question: What is the passage mainly about? - The beginning of road design. - The development of transport wheels. - The history of public transport. - The invention of fast-moving vehicles.
A: The development of transport wheels.
