Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Unlike other people, my Olympic heroes are not Olympic champions or the important people on the Olympic Committee . They are just the ordinary ones who do the everyday things. They work without the recognition the famous people get. They are the Olympic volunteers. These people aren't the great stars of sport. They just want to do their part for the Olympics by smiling and helping the Games go smoothly.The stars of the Games are like brightly colored sailboats on the sea, racing through the waves. How lovely to watch them! But the volunteers are the wind, which nobody sees. Without the wind the sailboats would not be able to move and no one would want to watch them.

The volunteers may never win medals, but they always do their best to encourage the _ , whether the athletes win or lose.Some might think what the volunteers do is boring, hardly worth mentioning . But in my eyes, they are as important as the champions and the stars. They are just as much heroes, despite not appearing in newspapers or on TV. I truly admire them and I will always cheer for them. They are my Olympic heroes. Question: What does the writer think of the volunteers' work? Answer: | OPTIONS:
- boring
- important

Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers , they are all lovely and lively. And it's so interesting to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to be a grown-up. Conflicts go between parents and children. It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with it's parents. Whether it is about some toy, studies, a party or a company, there is always a difference between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Scientists tell us that children should be treated with care. Yes, sure they should respect their elders. We are partly responsible for this. At an early age we encourage children to behave like adults, just because we find it funny. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late. Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable . Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force . And use of force is against the every good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence. So it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are the mirrors of us adults. Question: There are many conflicts between _ . Answer: | OPTIONS:
- fathers and mother s
- parents and children
- parents and toddlers
- parents and parents
A: parents and children
