Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: As a young girl, Margaret "Mattie" Knight never played with dolls, preferring to make toys for her brothers instead. In 1849, Knight went to work in a cotton factory where she witnessed a "shuttle," a device that carries thread back and forth across a textile loom , fly off the machine when the thread broke, striking and killing a young boy about her own age. The 12-year-old Knight developed a safety mechanism that made it impossible for a shuttle to leave the loom. The design was so effective, soon virtually every new power loom carried her invention, saving countless workers from injury or death. Being so young, she didn't bother to patent the device, so she never received payment. Knight wouldn't make the same mistake later in life when she invented a machine that could produce flat-bottomed paper bags. Knight had built a small wooden model in her home, but she needed a metal version to show it could hold up to the stress of mass production. So she hired Charles Annan to make the full-sized machine for her, only to have him try to claim the patent for himself. When Knight sued , Annan's argument was that the design had to be his, because no woman could possibly understand the complex mechanics. Knight proved him wrong when she brought back her wooden prototype and explained how every part worked. She won the case in 1871, making her the second woman to hold an American patent. Over a hundred years later, her design is still used as the basis for many modern flat-bottom bag machines. But that wasn't the last the world heard of Mattie Knight. During her lifetime, she made about 90 inventions and received 26 patents, becoming one of the most productive female inventors of the 19th century. Question: What do we know about Knight's first invention? Options: A: It is still used today. B: It brought her great profit. C: It was made when he was 20. D: It reduced injuries at textile plants.
A: D

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: "How about your study now?""Fine. ""Is your grandma OK?""Yes. ""How is everybody in the family?""They are fine. ""Ok, then I'll hang up. " The phone call was made by a peasant worker far away from his hometown to his child. The total call lasted only 30 seconds. However, even this short conversation was a luxury to the family. In prefix = st1 /China, with one or both parents going out to earn money , many children are left in their hometowns in the countryside. These children are called "leftover children". Some people say that the leftover children phenomenon is largely caused by poverty. More and more peasants are moving to big cities and as a result, a large number of leftover children have appeared. Statistics showed that in 2004, China had a total of 22 million leftover children in the countryside. Usually, the children,s grandparents or their parents,friends or s look after these children. To them, making sure that the children are healthy and fed well is the most important task. If the children are safe and sound, they are considered to have done a good job. They seldom care about the children,s study, their psychological needs, or mental demands. Neither do they spend some time teaching kids how to develop good habits. Experts said that children need emotional support. The younger they are , the more emotional support they need. Most of the emotional support comes from their parents. For most of the time, problems of the leftover children largely arise from a lack of emotional care from their parents. If kids can go out with their parents together, many problems will disappear. Question: Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? Options: A: Peasant Workers B: A Telephone Call C: Leftover Children D: Family Problems
A: C
