Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Writing journals has been one of the most helpful things I've ever done. Through writing journals I've not only learned a lot about myself, but also removed a lot of obsessive thoughts, by writing them down and considering them. Journals give you a place to write down your honest thoughts without being afraid of what people will think of you. There are some ideas for writing journals: Draw pictures Write poetry or short stories Goals: daily and long-term Respond to a magazine article that you are interested in Write about obsessive thoughts and try to find what's causing them A list of things you are proud of (It can always increase your confidence when you need it) Make a pro/con (/) list when you're trying to make a decision: most of the time the decision will start to be clearer afterwards The best way to start is to decide where you want to write your journal. (Though it's called the journal, it doesn't mean you can only do it in a "journal") . If you like the traditional style of journals, then use a notebook, blank paper or graph paper, whichever you like best. If you prefer to go digital, start a blog. You can make the blog public or private, and it's a good way to keep track of articles or pictures you find online. (You can link to them.) Even if you feel there's nothing for you to write about at first, you might be surprised to find that once you start, you can't stop. Question: What does writing journals help the author do? - Make many friends. - Do many helpful things. - Be free from some worries. - Learn a lot about other people.

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: After a lot of weightlifting and 25 exhausting days training, a 52-year-old woman recently became the first female "gripman" on San Francisco's historic cable cars. Fannie Barnes passed her written test and completed a final run under the watchful eye of a supervisor, Municipal Railway spokesman Alan Siegel said. Deep calluses are already forming at the base of her fingers and there is a hole in her glove. Two other women quit after a single day with injured muscles. "Now they're going to have to change the word from gripman to grip person, just because of me," Barnes said earlier, "I'm so excited." After almost a year of serious workouts, Barns can pull more than 61 kilos, only 23 kilos less than her body weight. And she'll need the muscle, for this is no modern, push-button technology. Every time a car starts up again after making a stop, the gripman must haul back on a lever controlling a device that grips the cable, which runs continuously at 14 kilometers per hour. If the grip slips, so does the car. A second person operates the brakes. In addition to having to throw her weight around on the job, she's got to throw out some attitude to men who were hard to convince. The city employs 76 men in the job. "A lot of men said mean things to me and didn't want to help train me. But I would like to thank the guys who were against me because they gave me even more inspiration to do it." she said. Not all the men were against her. Many of the male colleagues yelled out support as she did her training runs. One of her biggest tests was drizzly December morning. She first went down the Hyde Street Hill, considered the most dangerous incline on the cable car routes. "I had to have the will and I had to believe I could do it," she said. "It was scary, but as I started going down full grip and felt that I was in control, I knew I was on my way," Barnes already is a pioneer of sorts. She started working as a cable car conductor six years ago, collecting fares and assisting on the back brake. She is one of only three... Question: What is unusual about Fannie Barnes getting a job as a gripman? - She is the oldest one to work as a grpman. - She is the first women to work as a gripman. - She is the fattest women to work as a gripman. - She is the most suitable one to work as a gripman.
Ans: She is the first women to work as a gripman.

Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, today's traditional age college freshmen are "more materialistic and less altruistic " than at any time in the 17 years of the poll. Not surprising in these hard times, the student's major objective "is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life." It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting. Interest in teaching, social service and the "altruistic" fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up. While it's true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in scientific or artistic fields. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs. The most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom :"Miss Baxter," he says, "could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?" From the long term point of view, that's what education really ought to be about. Question: The students' criteria for electing majors today have much to do with _ . - the influences of their instructors - the financial goals they seek in life - their own interpretations of the courses - their understanding of the contributions of others
Answer:
the financial goals they seek in life
