I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don't know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born smart,average,or dumb--and stays that way in the whole life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle--it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn. Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can't lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That's because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That's why people say "Use it or lose it!" But most people don't know that when they practice and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise. Inside the cortex of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells,called neurons. The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do--like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra --seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger,smarter brain. Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals'brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more _ --they were better at solving problems and learning new things. Question: Training muscles is compared to _ . Options: A: using the brain B: connecting things in your brain C: lifting weights D: doing research about the brain

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Fix it on your own Did you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget rescue guide.So, let's take a look at some of their useful advice. How to get more juice out of your phone batter If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up.That may give you a tiny bit of power.Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands.Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes.Then try to start the phone but use it quickly. What to do if your gadget gets wet First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner .If a vacuum cleaner isn't at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside.The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget.Don't forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it. What to do if your TV remote control stops working If replacing the batteries doesn't work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens .When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone.This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays , even though your eyes don't.If the glass bobble doesn't light up, the remote is broken.If it does, the receiving device is broken. Question: If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _ . Options: A: warm it up under your arm B: remove the battery after you dry it C: put it into the uncooked rice D: press it with both of your hands

Ques:I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do-especially in tight job market. Bob Crossley,a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day."It's amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves,"he says."Resumes arrive with faults.Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly.Once I see a mistake,I refuse the candidates,"Crossley concludes,"If they cannot take care of these details,why should we trust them with a job?" Can we pay too much attention to details?Absolutely not. Perfectionists struggle over little things instead of something larger they work toward."To keep from losing the forest for the trees,"says Charles Garfield,the professor at the University of California,San Francisco,"We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working will influence the larger picture.If they don't,we should drop them and move to something else." Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA."The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90percent of the time,"says Garfield."But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal.This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary."Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake. Again and again,we see that by doing little things within our grasp well,large rewards follow. Question: From the passage,we can infer that a perfectionist will . Options: A: change their goals as the situations change B: lose their jobs by paying too much attention to details C: pay attention to details as much as to their major goals D: pay attention to details more than their major goals

Ans:
D
