I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: In the digital age, getting students into classrooms is an increasingly challenging mission for college and university teachers, not to mention retaining their attention. "It's much harder to teach the post-90s,,,said Chen Jixiu , a math professor at Fudan University. "They use smart-phones and tablets to search for information, even during class. They get knowledge from a variety of sources, and consider it 'a small cake ,to skip classes. " According to Chen, this situation has forced teachers to adopt "odd tricks" for attracting students to class. Here are some interesting ideas picked up by 21st Century. Food for Thought: Rather than providing only moral encouragement, teachers at Wuhan University are offering real-life related rewards to improve student attendance. Students sitting in the first row of the health psychology course taught by professor Lei Wuming are rewarded with snacks. "I've got 7,000 fans on my micro-blog ,and most of them are my students,"said Lei ,director of the university's Education Institution. "I do want to express my thanks to those coming to listen, and to make the class more lively. " Teacher vs Phone; In the broadcasting and hosting course of Hankou University, teacher Huang Huiqiong gives students permission to busy themselves with their cell phones during class. They keep their heads down until they hear something interesting. If not, they can sit through the entire class without being disturbed and even give the teacher advice following the class. "A teacher is not the boss and students have the right to make content suggestions,,,said Huang. Friendly Blogs: You might hesitate to participate in class discussions, but what if you could send a message instead of speaking out loud? In the computer science course at Changsha University of Science Technology (CUST),students can voice opinions via their cell phone. "I open a micro-blog webpage,and when students text a message to the account, it appears on the screen,,,said teacher Huang Qiang. Su Ying, 19,a sophomore at CUST,... Question: How does Lei Wuming improve his students' attendance? Options: A: He sets up a micro-blog for his students. B: He expresses thanks to all his students. C: He offers some food as rewards. D: He uses moral encouragement.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: For any person who must speak in public, to business or pleasure groups, humor is a helpful, and necessary, tool for getting your message across. Why does humor work a lot? There are several reasons. People will enjoy what you have to say if it is presented with humor. But, more importantly, if you are in a situation where important, and perhaps controversial , ideas must be presented to less than open minds, humor allows those ideas to be presented in a non-threatening manner. Abraham Lincoln was famous for his ability to relate humorous stories to make a point. Humor used carefully throughout a presentation will also keep the listener's interest high. In a word, individuals learning how to use humor in their speeches can strengthen arguments, support interesting presentations and, most of all, entertain their audience in a positive and comfortable way. While popular culture may well hold many kinds of humor, some of it has no place in presentations that are designed to educate and encourage the audience. If you want to become a professional stand-up comedian whose goal is 100% entertainment, then you may be able to use some of the reference materials like The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking. They can help you develop your skills and sources of humor. To that _ , your participation in this study of humor will become necessary. Hopefully, you will come to appreciate the special difficulty of entertaining the audience with good and clean humor. Question: The passage is most likely to benefit _ a lot. Options: A: science researchers B: public speakers C: dress designers D: sports players

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Bears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to people's food, problems soon arise. Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears' tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up. Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch won't help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bear is unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose. Question: If people had never fed bears, the bears_. Options: A: might be satisfied with what they had originally B: would have starved long before C: wouldn't have enough food supply D: would have hunted for other kind of food
