Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Close relationships, thought to help communication by giving speakers a common context, are actually more likely to make _ when strangers are involved, a new study suggests. Because close colleagues and friends already share so much common knowledge that they often use short, ambiguous messages which can lead to misunderstandings. "People are so used to talking with those with whom they already share a great deal of information that, when they have something really new to share, they often present it in a way that they assume the person already knows it." says study-team member Boaz Keysar. Keysar and his graduate student, Shall Wu, trained 40 pairs of undergraduate students to memorize made-up names and descriptions of strange shapes. In each pair, the "director" had to communicate the identity of one of the 24 shapes. The partner had to use the information to choose the correct shape from a set of three images on a computer monitor. Half of the partners studied only the first six shapes, while the others learned the first 18 shapes. The directors, who had memorized all the shapes, were aware of their partners' knowledge levels of the shapes. In the pairs with the most shared knowledge, the directors were more likely to rattle off shape names, compared with pairs with little knowledge overlap , in which the directors were more likely to describe the actual shapes. Not surprisingly, participants with more shared knowledge were twice as likely to ask for clarification as those with less overlap. Language itself can be confusing. "The reason all this is happening at all is that language in general is ambiguous," said Keysar. He recalls an ambiguous billboard near a stadium holding a Rolling Stones concert that night. The billboard read, "Avoid LSD tonight." (:LSD"") Hmmm? "It was about Lake Shore Drive, and I'm sure the writer of the sign didn't realize he was being ambiguous," Keysar said. "Even though miscommunication can lead to missed meetings or deadlines, people are often unaware when their language is... Options: A most people know what LSD usually refers to B local people would not misunderstand the meaning of LSD C the writer of the sign means to play jokes on those attending the concert D people sometimes ignore the limitation of shared knowledge Answer: D people sometimes ignore the limitation of shared knowledge Question:
A: It can be inferred from the example of the billboard that _ .

Question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Although Wu Huifei was only a concubine of Tang Xuanzong (AD 685-762), the sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, her influence was far greater than most in her position. Historians say that the ruler loved her so much that, in AD 724, he _ his wife and made Wu a royal concubine. "Although she was only a concubine, she was treated as an empress with palace etiquette ," explained Shi Xiaoqun, director of relics collection for Shaanxi History Museum. "Tang Xuanzong even wanted to make her his empress but was opposed by the ministers." The emperor had thousands of concubines in his palace in Chang'an (now called Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province) but, according to Shi, he only loved Wu, the mother of seven of his children. Wu died in the December of AD 737 at the age of 38 and was buried in Jingling Mausoleum. She was given the title Empress Zhenshun after her death. "It's rare for a concubine to be given so much posthumous honor in the history of Chinese feudal society," said Liu Daiyun, research director at the Shaanxi Archaeological Research Institute. Her tomb ---53 meters wide by 56 meters long --- is located in the west of Pangliu village, which is part of Xi'an's Chang'an district. The recovered sarcophagus is 4 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2 meters tall and is decorated with flowers and maiden figures, which archaeologists say is a rare cultural relic of high scientific, historical and artistic value. In ancient times, a sarcophagus was used to house wood coffins in order to preserve the body of the noble person. "I knew it was precious but I didn't know it was so beautiful," said Han Qinglong, who headed the team that brought the relic back to China four years after it was stolen and sold abroad by tomb raiders . Options: A the life story of Wu Huifei. B the reason why Wu Huifei was favoured by Tang Xuanzong C the scientific, historical and artistic value of the recovered sarcophagus of Wu Huifei. D the influence of Wu Huifei and her posthumous honor. Answer: D the influence of Wu Huifei and her posthumous honor. Question:
Answer: The passage mainly focuses on _ .

Question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: With hospitals and nursing homes tending to thousands of patients every year accidents can---and do ---happen. These incidents whether they are through carelessness or otherwise, can leave patients feeling powerless. That's not the case. "There is growing public awareness. People are feeling they have more rights and they have tools in hand to make a complaint," said Ralph Montano, spokesman for the California Department of Public Health, which regulates hospitals and long term care facilities in the state. That department received more than 6000 complaints about hospitals in 2007; in the most recent year statistics are available. The complaints can be about mixed-up lab results, medicine errors, foreign objects left in a patient during surgery or a host of other topic. Similarly, the California Department of Aging received 43000 nursing home complaints in 2009. Some said patient abuse or neglect of patients; others reported missing items. And some commented on the quality of the food. But finding the channels through them to put forward a complaint can be tiring and time consumption. Many consumers simply don't bother, and some become lost in the system. Whether the complaint is against a hospital or a long-term care facility, the process is similar--- and many people can help, including the facility's staff, insurance company representatives and state regulators. If you want to make a complaint while in the hospital, Patti Harvey, vice president of quality and patient care services for Kaiser Permanente in Southern California, recommends talking with the bedside nurse. If that doesn't work, you can talk with other people higher in the chain of command, up to the hospital administrator. If the problem isn't still taken care of ---say you disagree with your treatment plan or have a problem with your doctor---member service offices at each hospital can help address your concerns. Options: A few accidents happen B it takes time to make a complaint C many complaints are lost D complaints are bad for a long-term care facility Answer: B it takes time to make a complaint Question:
Answer:
Many consumers don't make a complaint because _ .
