(Question)
I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: If you need any help in planning your future, call in at the Education and Careers Expo , which opened at the City Convention and Exhibition Centre yesterday. Expo gives you a unique opportunity to meet leading industrialists and educators. I spoke to several young people at Expo, and they all agreed how useful it was to have so much information under one roof. Duncan Kelly intends to take a university course in design after he leaves school. He was collecting some of the free literature when I spoke to him. "I'm not in a hurry to make a choice at the moment. I want to get all the information before I make up my mind." One feature of Expo is the careers seminars , at which expert speakers outline their respective fields. Barbara Watts is already at university, in the second year of a law degree. She's decided to keep on studying after she graduates. She attended a seminar on international law. "The speaker was really good at getting across his message," said Barbara. "It was very helpful." But Expo isn't just for people who are still in education. It also offers help to those in employment, and to people who are considering retraining or a change of career. One advantage of Expo in that you can meet many prospective employers face to face, and talk to them frankly about your plans. As Charles Li told me, "Normally I wouldn't dare to go and talk to the manager of a company. But today I have talked to several managers. It's easy to meet them here, in a relaxed environment." He left school after Junior High and went to work in a factory to earn a living. He's looking at changing his career and perhaps tidying to be an accountant. The organizers expect over 200,000 young people to visit Expo, and there's no doubt that it's a bit of a squash . But the opportunities available here certainly make up for any discomfort. So, if you need any help with your future, come along to Expo. You don't need a ticket. It's open today, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm, and entry is free to all. Question: From the passage we can see the writer's attitude towards Expo is_. Options: A: ambiguous B: supportive C: cautious D: doubtful

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Sadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tolerance for falling in despair. Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings -- whether it's after losing a job, the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one. So it's no surprise that more and more people are taking them. But is _ really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn't. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose . Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purpose--and if we lose it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists insist not. Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression , they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better. So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a self-protection strategy, as other primates also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesn't show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey -- and that could result in death. In humans sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support. Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s... Question: The author believes sadness is _ . Options: A: a good thing for people's health B: something horrible never to touch C: a necessary function of humans' D: always to be treated as depression
