I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I was waiting for a phone call from my agent last night. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work, and he didn't care about me. That thought beat me. I started to shout at the phone, "Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?" At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, took away the phone and pulled the lines out of the phone, and shouted at the phone, "Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!" And she swept it into the wastebasket. I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth...? She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, "Now hear this! All objects in this room - if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!" Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said quietly, "Dear, you just have to learn how to take control." With that, she left the room. After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my feelings had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her unusual actions helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him quietly. Question: What did the writer's wife do after she heard his shouting? Options: A: She said nothing. B: She threw the phone away. C: She shouted at him. D: She called the agent.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Teenagers who turn off the TV and sit down to family meals are less likely to suffer eating disorders . A study has connected eating together with lower rates of bulimia and anorexia . Teens used to eating around the table are less likely to take up smoking to lose weight. Researcher Barbara said, "The common belief is that teens don't want to be around their parents very much, and that teens are just too busy to have regular meals with the family." The study shows happy families have teenagers who eat with their parents often. These teens have less bad diet or dangerous eating habits. "Parents may not be able to get their family together around the table seven days a week, but if they can prepare three family meals a week, this will have a big impact on the health of teens," Professor Fiese spoke out after reviewing 17 studies on eating ways and nutrition of almost 200,000 children and teenagers. She found that teens who eat at least five meals a week with their families are 35% less likely to be "disordered eaters". The definition of disordered eating is eating too much, or eating at wrong times too often or eating very little and smoking to lose weight. Even three family meals a week helped, with youngsters 12% less likely to be overweight than those who ate with their family less often. Teens can also use family meals as a time to _ . They were also 24% more likely to eat healthy foods and have healthy eating habits than those who didn't share three meals with their family. Professor Fiese said, "Family meals give them a place where they can go regularly to check in with their parents and express themselves freely." In the past American research found children who miss out on family meals are much more likely to fight at school, drink and take drugs . ,. Question: What may be the reason why teens don't have meals with their family? Options: A: They are too busy to have meals. B: They have to have meals at school. C: They don't want to be with their family very much. D: They don't like the meals their parents make for them.
