PROBLEM: Article: Harry potter and The Hunger Games haven't been big hits for nothing. Lots of teens still read quite a lot. But a study shows a clear decrease over time. Nearly half of 17-year-olds say they read for pleasure no more than one or two times a year. That's way down from ten years ago. The digital revolution means there are more platforms than ever to read on. Jim Steyer has been studying the effect of technology on children. He has four kids and has seen the trend most with his 16-year-old. "I start to see it in our 10-year-old as well, because he is reading less and less, and more and more attracted to some of the digital media platforms that he has access to, and that he didn't have access to when he was 6 or 7 years old," he says. The studies don't say that kids are reading less because they're spending more time online. But Steyer is convinced that's at least part of the answer. "First of all, most children now have access to e-readers, or other smart electronic devices like phones and tablets ," he says. " And they're spending time on that. Many reports show the increasing use of new technology platforms by kids. It just strikes me as extremely logical that that's a big reason. Researchers want to know more about how teens are spending their time in the digital age. But Kathryn Zickuhr of the Pew Research Center says it's tricky. If a kid is looking at a book, you may think he or she is reading. But when it comes to looking at a smartphone or tablet, who knows? "We've heard from middle and high school teachers that sometimes the Internet is wonderful for enthusiastic students to do deep research," says Zickuhr. "But on the other side, obviously there are many distractions on the Internet." However, Jim Steyer says, "Kids with parents who read, who buy or take books out of the library for their kids, and who then set time aside in their kids' daily schedule for reading, tend to read the most -- whether it's on a book, an e-book or some other devices."
Question: What did Jim Steyer see in his four kids?
Options: (A) They tend to read more on electronic devices. (B) They created their own digital media platform. (C) They improved their reading on electronic devices. (D) They have become more addicted to digital media.

PROBLEM: Article: "I would almost rather see you dead," Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady's family ranked among the best of Philadelphia's social families, such an idea could not even be considered. That was how Mary Cassatt, born in 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father's anger. Instead, she opposed him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance , she became America's most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.
Question: How did Mr Cassatt react when his daughter made her announcement?
Options: (A) He feared for her life. (B) He warned her. (C) He nearly killed her. (D) He was very angry.
Asnwer: D

SOLUTION: Yes
