I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves.They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they want and what they know,and understand what others tell them.They learn foreign languages in order to be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood.They learn history to know something about human beings they meet every day.What they learn at school is,of course,quite useful,but is that the only reason why they go to school? No.There is more in education than just learning facts.We go to school,above all,to learn how to learn,so that when we have left school,we can continue to learn.A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful,because whenever he has to do something new,he will quickly teach himself how to do it in the best way.The uneducated person,on the other hand,is either unable to do something new,or does it badly.So the purpose of school is not just to teach the students these useful subjects but teach the way to learn. Question: Children are sent to school because _ . Options: A: they can grow fast at school B: they have to work for themselves at the moment C: the parents have to prepare them for their future D: they are able to learn facts

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Giving a gift can mean a lot. It can be a way to deepen a friendship. Before you get a gift for someone, spend time really thinking about what makes him or her special. Think about their interests, hobbies, needs and happiest moments. For example, friends and families with children might love a special calendar that contains everyone's birthday and other special dates and events. For music fans, a CD filled with their favourite music always makes a special gift. Spending time with loved ones is also a way to give them a gift. You might take that special person out for a birthday dinner at your favourite restaurant. Making a gift for someone using your own skills is very special. It is much more meaningful than a store-bought gift and shows how much you care! Writing your feelings in a greeting card can be a simple way to make a keepsake that will be remembered for years. Question: For music fans, _ is a special gift. Options: A: a calendar B: nice food C: a music CD D: a greeting card
