Once, I overheard a father and daughter in their goodbye moment. The father said, "I love you, I wish you enough." The daughter answered, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your lover is all that I need. I wish you enough, too, Daddy." They kissed and she left ... The father walked over towards me. I could see he wanted and needed a cry. He came over to me and asked, "Did you ever say a forever goodbye to someone?" Before I could answer, he went on, " I am old and she lives much too far away. I know her next trip back would be for my funeral ." "When you were saying goodbye I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask what that means?" He began to smile , "It's a wish that has come down from my great-great-grandparents. And my parents used to say it to me." He stopped for a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it. He smiled even more. "When we said'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life full of enough good things." Then, turning towards me, he shared the following "wish" from his heart. I wish you enough sun to keep you bright . I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep you alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish enough hellos to get you through the final goodbye. My friends, I wish you enough. Question: Many people would find it difficult _ . Options: A: to say goodbye B: to overhear others C: to share their wishes D: to live too far away

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: The children in the village wear dirty, cheap clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in small houses. They have no school. But they can write 26 English letters, and some know a few English words. How did it happen? It was because a U.S. group called One Computer Every Child offered them 20 computers. Can children teach themselves to read when they have no schools or teachers but have the help of today's new technology ? The goal of the group is to find out the answer. And the results are exciting. "The children are learning more than they would in one year of school," said Matt Keller, who organized the programme. The fastest learner was an eight-year-old boy called Kelbesa Negusse. He said that he himself was like a lion. Keller said, "Seven months ago he didn't know any English. But now he has known many words. I think if you give them food and water they will never leave the computer room. They will spend day and night there." Kelbesa said, "I like the computer because I can learn things with it." He added, "I know many English words, like dog, monkey, horse, sheep, cow, pig and cat." Keller said that One Computer Every Child was planning a programme for children who couldn't go to school. Question: What is the best title for the passage? Options: A: Learning with the help of computers B: The development of One Computer Every Child C: Computers are better than teachers D: How to learn by yourself
