I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain . "You have no flying skills at all!" he said to the swans. "All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that's beyond you. Let's have a flying competition. I'll show you what real flying is!" One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan's turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn't see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so _ that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water. The swan pretended not to notice, and said, "Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?" "No," said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. "I'm in trouble because of my pride! If you don't help me, I'll lose my life..." The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach. Question: Why did the crow keep touching the water? Options: A: It was showing another flying skill. B: It was struggling to keep itself from falling into the water. C: It was thirsty and wanted to drink some water. D: It was enjoying itself by doing so.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It's a long-awaited day for China. The navy now has its first aircraft carrier , Liaoning. It's a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors is quite small. That's because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck.. For visitors, it's so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions. Also, you will be surprised by the high level of education of today's sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailors are college graduates. Six hold Doctor's Degrees and 45 have a Master's. The whole team is young but vigorous. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard . Question: Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? Options: A: Liaoning is our country's first aircraft carrier. B: Most of the sailors on the carrier are college graduates. C: There are far fewer women sailors than men sailors on the carrier. D: It is comfortable for the sailors to live in the carrier.
