[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Recently, a small group of birdwatchers spent three weeks around Mount Vernon. They were busy counting wild birds on Mount Vernon's wetlands, south of Washington, D.C. They began in the middle of December and worked until the beginning of January, 2015. The birdwatchers were among 70,000 volunteers who collected information for the National Audubon Society, a U.S. conservation group. They counted birds in more than 2,400 areas in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean Sea and other parts of the Americas. The Audubon Society's first "Christmas Bird Count" took place 115 years ago in 1900. At that time, a man named Frank Chapman suggested a new Christmas tradition that people count birds instead of shooting them around the holiday. Harry Glasgow has taken part in the Christmas Bird Count for the past 10 years. This year, he was one of the volunteer birdwatchers at Mount Vernon. "I think it's a tremendous use of a lot of unofficial talent around the nation to keep track of birds. Birds are one of the surest indicators of the health of ecology." Last year, the bird count recorded over 66 million birds of 2,403 different species. Gary Langham is chief scientist with the National Audubon Society. "The Audubon climate report says that half the birds in North America -- 314 out of 588 species -- are seriously threatened by climate change. The impacts sort of cut across all birds, all sizes, all kinds, all places." Information from the bird counts has shown that birds are staying farther north during the winter months because of warmer weather. Birdwatcher Jaime Reidy has noted the difference close to Washington, in the state of Virginia. "You get to see them at odd times of the year, a little earlier, staying a little later." Gary Langham says other conditions are affecting bird populations. "You can imagine the birds that live along the beach or along the rocky shore line as sea levels are rising around the world. That is impacting them, you know." David Yarnold is president of the Audubon Society. In his words,... Options: A To find out what affects birds' migration and populations. B To collect information for the new Christmas tradition. C To compare the birds in Washington with those in other places. D To raise people's awareness of protecting wild birds. Answer: A To find out what affects birds' migration and populations. Question:

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: At the age of sixteen,I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that "our family" was living in a trailer that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks,but every time they finished one problem,another surfaced(, ). We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house--something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms,a bath and a kitchen. On Tuesday of that week, while we were eating lunch together,I asked the family's three boys,Josh,Eric and Ryan,"What do you want for your new room?"Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were astonished when Josh responded,"I just want a bed." The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding. When we saw the delivery truck coming,we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly control ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning. That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room,he observed with wideeyed enthusiasm from the doorway. As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows,Eric asked,"What is that?" "A pillow," he replied. "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask. "When you go to sleep,you put your head on it," I answered softly. Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow. "Oh...that's soft," he said,hugging it tightly. Now,when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent,my dad gently asks, "Doyouhaveapillow?" We know exactly what he means. Options: A what they want to get may be unnecessary B they should not waste money on small things C they should do more volunteer work for the poor D what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow Answer: A what they want to get may be unnecessary Question:
