Read the article and select the best answer. Article: My mother only had one eye. I hated her, as she was such an embarrassment for me. She ran a small shop at a market, selling anything for the money we needed. One day, my mom came to my school. I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day, my classmates shouted, "Your mom only has one eye! '' and they _ me. My face turned red. I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world, so I said to her, "Mom, why don't you have the other eye? You make me a laughingstock." She didn't say anything. Maybe it was because my mom hadn' t punished me, so I didn' t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly. I decided to study hard so that I could leave her for the rest of my life. I made it at last. Now I'm living happily as a successful man in another country. Many years later, I received a letter, which said, "I think my life has been long enough now, but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to visit me once in a while? I' m sorry that I am an embarrassment for you. You see, when you were very young, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye, so I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never angry with you for anything you did. I miss the time when you were still young around me. You mean the world to me. I love you." I can't help crying with the letter in my hand. Question: How did the mother lose her eye? Options: A: She had an accident. B: She was born with one eye. C: One of her eyes was broken. D: She gave one eye to her son.

Ques: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: When someone says, "I guess I'll have to face the music", it doesn't mean he is going to a concert. It is something unhappy. For example, a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didn't finish his homework. Every American, young or old, knows the phrase "to face the music" well. It's at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from? One explanation is about the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said the expression was first used by actors. When they were asked to perform, they would say, "It's time to face the music." And that is exactly what they did-face the band which is just below the stage . An actor might be nervous when he moved onto the stage in front of the audience . But he had to go out. So, "to face the music" came to mean having to go through something no matter how unhappy it might be, because you had no choice. The other explanation comes from the army. The soldiers had to face their leader's check. They were worried about how well they looked. Were their guns clean enough to pass the check? Still, the men had to go out to face the check. What else could they do? Question: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? Options: A: Here are two explanations about the expression "to face the music". B: The music in "to face the music" is a kind of terrible music. C: When you face the music, it means that you must go through it. D: When someone says he has to face the music, he will have no choice.
Ans: B

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete ,it could only roll very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way. It talked with insects . It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted perfectly, it put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole, with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to insects. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left the piece it found by the side of the road and rolled away slowly. Sometimes, we are perfect when we lose something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. We couldn't be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us. Question: If a man owns everything, he'll _ . Options: A: be perfect in every way B: have other trouble C: share happiness with others D: have enough love around him
