I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It takes Te'Anne Collins more than an hour to get to school by bus. But for her, it is worth it. Te'Anne is one of many talented students who will attend an interview for a musical theatre program at Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts. "She is someone with unbelievable talent, " says her music teacher, Ann Merriam . "Te'Anne works two jobs, so she can support her studies and living expense." Te'Anne has come a long way since she first came to Wexford collegiate in 9thgrade. She was new to the school and started going out with the wrong crowd. Her negative lifestyle and attitude caused her scores to decline steadily. It was Ann Merriam who pulled her aside. "She told me that she didn't even know who I was and that she often heard bad things about me, " says Te'Anne. "When I think about it now, I deserved it." Now in Grade 12, Te'Anne has fought her way to the front of the stage and has earned her place as an important member of Wexford Gleeks -- a club that Ann Merriam has been running for over 20 years. Ann Merriam is the founder of the famous musical theatre program, which has been attracting audiences for years. A bit of a maverick ,she quietly started the program in the 80's on a shoestring budget, despite an important leader's disagreement at the beginning. Wexford Gleeks is now one of the top competitors at the 2013 Show Choir Canada competition. Te'Anne's story began to spread and soon telephone calls came flooding in the school board from kids' parents, because they knew Ann Merriam never gave up on any student. Question: When Te'Anne was in Grade 9, she _ . Options: A: made a good friendship with her teachers. B: worked two jobs to support her school fees. C: attended an interview for a musical program.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Early risers are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying. But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have advantages, researchers say. They have found that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those who are able to get up early in the morning. Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late showed the kind of intelligence to find good jobs and earn much money. Larks or "morning people", however, often get better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the young people to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their best state in the morning. School performance and problem solving ability, were judged and test grades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: "Evening types tend to be the more creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are considered to be civil servants and accountants . " Question: Early risers often do well in exams possibly because _ . Options: A: they go to bed by 10p.m. regularly B: they make full preparations before exam C: lessons are held at the right time for them D: they have longer time to prepare for their lessons

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied. Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate , and native speaking students. To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test. Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory. Question: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? Options: A: Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory. B: Long-term memory can be achieved only by training. C: It is easier to test short-term memory than long term memory. D: Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age.We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text.Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line.But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation. A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones.They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones. Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize. Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships. Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information.left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian. Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other. Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted,... Question: What's the best title for the passage? Options: A: Benefit of Reading Clubs. B: Return of Slow Reading. C: Reading of the Internet Age. D: Influence of Speed Reading.
