Problem: Given the question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: A cactus stood all alone in the desert, wondering why it was stuck in the middle of nowhere."I do nothing but stand here all day," it sighed."What use am I? I'm the ugliest plant in the desert.My spines are thick and prickly , my leaves are rubbery and tough, I can't offer shade or juicy fruit to any passing traveler.I don't see that I'm any use at all." All it did was stand in the sun day after day, growing taller and fatter.Its spines grew longer and its leaves tougher...It truly was strange-looking. "I wish I could do something useful," it sighed.By day, hawks circled high overhead."What can I do with my life?" the cactus called.Whether they heard or not, the hawks sailed away.At night, the moon floated into the sky and cast its pale glow on the desert floor."What good can 1 do with my life?" the cactus Called: The moon only stared coldly as it goes on its way.A lizard crawled by, leaving a little trail in the sand with its tail."What worthy thing can I do?" the cactus called."You?" the lizard laughed, pausing a moment."Worthy deed? Why, you can't do anything! The hawks circle ways overhead, tracing delicate patterns for us all to admire.The moon hangs high like a lantern at night, so we can see our way home.Even I, the lowly lizard can decorate the sands with these beautiful brush-drawings as I pull my tail along.But you do nothing but get uglier every day." And so it went on year after year.At last the cactus grew old, and it knew its time was short."Oh, God" it cried out, "I've wondered so long, and I've tried so hard.Forgive me if I've failed to find something worthy to do." But just then the cactus felt a strange stirring and unfolding.At its very tip, like a sudden crown, a glorious flower suddenly opened in bloom. Never had the desert known such a blossom.Its fragrance perfumed the air far and wide and brought happiness to all passing by. The butterflies paused to admire its beauty, and even the moon smiled when it rose to find such a treasure.The cactus heard a voice."You have waited long,"...

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: In Britain and other countries,young people sometimes take a"gap year",a year off between high school and college.This idea never gained a big following in America.Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing,though there are no official numbers. Charles Deacon,.Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington,D.C.,estimates that in the current first-year class of 1,600 students,only about 25 decided to take a year off.He says this number hasn't changed much over the years. Mr.Deacon says the most common reason for taking a"gap year"is to have a chance to travel,but he says international students may take a"gap year"to meet requirements at home for military duty. Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education,but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests.Students hoping to be doctors,for example,could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital. Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission.Expels say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy. The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called"Time Out or Bum Out for the Next Generation.''It praises the idea of taking time off to step back,think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies.It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time. Of course,a gap year is not for everyone.Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college,and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off.Another concern is money.A year off,away from home,can be costly. Holly Bull's job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year.She notes that several books have been written about this subject.She says these books along with media attention and the availability of... Options: A every student must take a"gap year"before applying for a famous university B some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences C taking a'gap year'Can make students free from life learning D the stress of studies does harm to the students' health Answer: B some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences Question:
