He lived in Australia for quite a long time, and he had a lot of good friends there. He always said to them, "Australia is beautiful, but Hungary is beautiful, too." Then one year he said to his friends, "I'm going to go back to Hungary to visit my home town." All his friends said to him, "We want to go with you, because you often say Hungary is a beautiful country, and we want to visit it." The Hungarian Australian took his friends from Sydney to Rome in a big plane, and then they went from Rome to Budapest in a train as they wanted to see the mountains, and the villages and the towns. They stayed in Budapest nearly a week, and they liked it very much. One day they went to the zoo in Budapest and saw two kangaroos there. These Australians were very happy because kangaroos were from their home town. They said to them, "Come here, old friends! Come and see your Australian brothers!" But the kangaroos did not move.

They're Australians, but they only know Hungarian!" Question: The Hungarian moved to Australia _ . Options: A: last year B: a few months ago C: many years ago D: over 100 years ago

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Cooks at the Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop in west Beijing can't make the pork and scallion baozi (buns) fast enough since Xi Jinping visited for some traditional workers' food and ate it among the workers. The Chinese president's visit late last month went down a treat, while web commentators were enthusiastic in their praise for Xi's easy populism, after he left the government headquarters in nearby Zhongnanhai and ordered six steamed buns filled with pork and scallions, a bowl of stewed pig liver and a plate of green vegetables. The bill came to 21 yuan, about EUR2.50, and he sat and finished it at one of the restaurant tables, just like any other working Joe. While Xi is known as "President Xi" abroad, in China he is known as "Chairman Xi", in the same way as the country's late founding father Mao Zedong is known as "chairman Mao". The Chinese government is keen for its leaders to have the president title abroad, as it sounds, well, more presidential. But in Qingfeng, it's all about the chairman. "Since Chairman Xi came here, the restaurant has had queues like this every day. We didn't know the chairman was coming beforehand. We only recognized him when he was at the window picking up his food because he also waited in the line," says a waitress. Xi is building up a reputation as a more approachable kind of leader, a man of the people - something people in Ireland got a taste of when they saw how he handled a hurley in Croke Park during his visit. There were rumours last year that Xi even took a taxi to ask the driver what was really going on in Beijing, although that may have been a _ . While his predecessor Hu Jintao was seen as a theorist, Xi's public profile is high. Question: The cooks in Qingfeng Restaurant are very busy because _ . Options: A: the foods in the restaurant have to be updated. B: the restaurant is shorthanded at present. C: Xi's visit made this restaurant extreme popular among consumers D: the food Mr. Xi ate was specially made.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup. But when I saw my daughter's car, _ Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. "Bryan, I'm sorry. Tonight I don't feel like having fun or playing games. We'll have our night together some other time." I saw the sadness in Bryan's eyes. He said, "I like soup, Grandma." I knew he meant "Please don't send me away. Please let me stay." I saw the shadow in Bryan's eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn't want to have him come any more -- not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove and turned on the TV, I fell asleep. When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored ! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. "I love you, Grandma," he said. "Haven't we had a nice time together?" His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword -- together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together. Question: From the passage, we can infer that _ .
