Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: My daughter finally lost her first tooth. She waited for this moment for more than a year. Most of the kids in the first grade lost not only one tooth, but several. But my daughter kept waiting impatiently. Then, she finally got a loose tooth. I never saw her so happy -- except on Christmas, Children's Day or her birthday. Last Friday night, she was eating an apple, and the tooth started to become loose. Minutes later, my daughter shouted happily. The tooth was out! I cleaned it off and put it under her pillow . When she went to bed that night, my daughter wondered, "Will the tooth fairy let me keep the tooth?" I told her _ might and _ 'd have to wait and see. The tooth fairy comes from an old story. It's believed that when a kid loses his first tooth and puts it under his pillow, the tooth fairy will come to visit him when he is sleeping. If the tooth fairy sees the kid and loves him, she will leave some money under his pillow without taking away the tooth. If she doesn't think the kid lovely enough, she will still leave some money but take the tooth away. And then I put a dollar in my bag so that I'd remember to put it under my daughter's pillow. However, I forgot. Luckily, her dear dad remembered. Question: Which of the following is TRUE? Options: A: The daughter is a second-grader. B: The writer is a mother. C: The real tooth fairy in the story is the writer. D: Several kids in the daughter's class lost one tooth.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: He was an old man who fished alone in a small boat on the sea and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone with another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure forever. The old man was thin with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. His face was terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh. Everything about him was old except his eyes and _ were the same color as the sea and were cheerful. "Santiago," the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the sea. "I could go with you again. We've made some money." The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. "No," the old man said. "You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them." "But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks." "I remember," the old man said. "It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must follow him." "I know," the old man said. "It is quite normal." "He hasn't much faith ." "No," the old man said. "But we have. Haven't we?" "Yes," the boy said. "Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace?" "Why not?" the old man said "Between fishermen." Question: The old man refused the boy to go fishing with him again because _ . Options: A: he wanted to fish by himself B: he could really understand his parents C: the boy asked for some money D: the boy had already learnt how to fish
