Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: I don't know if I am missing the greatest pleasure of my life.I am not a fan of computer games.Some guys forget themselves and forget day and night when they play games.For example,a colleague has been playing since 1 o'clock this morning and now it is 7 o'clock.He is still commanding his army of little people to attack strange-looking animals.Some games could be fun,I admit,and it is therefore understandable that such a game catches players.For example,games like Red Storm or some role-play games,you do something and try to outwit your computer.You get some fun out of these games.It is understandable that such a game pushes you into a pitfall of pleasures.But some games look quite stupid and simple.Again for example,my colleague has been interested in Stone Age,a cartoon-like game rooted in pre-historic time.The game is well made,full of strange people and animals and you can play on line with partners.You can have reference books to study so as to shortcut your rivals and increase your own conquering power. I believe some kinds of games are really created for adults.But seeing these adults play the simple games with such interest,I just wonder if there is something wrong with me and if I am losing the greatest possible fun of my life.I ask why I don't _ playing such games and why I seem to have some aversion to such games.I have no answers.Certainly computer games are not my idea of a good time.I would rather listen to some music or read a book.Take music for example.Good music tops my list of pleasures.Nothing could beat music, all in a harmony of sounds and emotions.But how about games? Why am I so strongly biased against such games? Question: Which of the following is true according to the passage? - some computer games are interesting enough to attract people. - Most people fall into a dangerous pitfall. - many people who are suffering a lot from the computer games are ready to give up. - computer games are pitfalls for most players and should be banned.

Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: To Whom It May Concern, My husband Jim and I got married in 1965. For the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then about four years ago, our youngest child went to school, and I thought I might go back to work. Jim was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He started to do all the things I used to do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business. After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relation firm. At first, my husband was proud of me and would tell his friends, "My clever little wife can run that company she's working for." But, as his joking words were becoming reality, Jim stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, Jim can do things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don't do these things because he is unhappy. We fought about little things, and Jim is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end. I love Jim very much, and I don't want him to feel inferior , but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career? Please help. Yours, Mary Question: Jim stopped talking about her job when _ . - Jim failed to do what he liked - she made more money than he - she received her boss' praise - Jim had to do housework

Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: After moving to a small town, I took several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker to be fixed. Within a week I picked them up and put them away in my closet. Four months later my husband and I were invited out to dinner. I unboxed a pair of high heels . I hadn't worn them since they were repaired. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were exactly the same style, color1 and size, but each was for the right foot. I was puzzled, since I had worn the shoes on several occasions and knew I hadn't worn two right shoes. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Although I was sure he wouldn't remember me after such a long time, I telephoned him and explained to him the trouble I had. "Thank goodness you finally called!" he was nearly shouting, "An angry woman with two left shoes has been bothering for months!" Question: The writer noticed something wrong with the repaired shoes _ . - when she went out to dinner with her husband four months after the shoes were repaired - when she put one of them on her left foot - when she took the shoes off for a closer look - when she put one of them on her wrong foot

Ans:when she went out to dinner with her husband four months after the shoes were repaired

Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it's so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods. The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex , which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you're on an empty stomach. Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal , bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch. When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast.Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. "We believe that bit identifies the value of foods - how pleasant, how delicious something is," Goldstone told The Guardian. Question: In the experiment, the volunteers without breakfast ate about 20% _ at lunch. - of the usual breakfast - more than the usual breakfast - of the usual lunch - more than the usual lunch

Ans:
more than the usual lunch
