Article: My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling lawyer, but I always knew he was special. He never criticized us, but used praise to bring out our best. He'd say, "If you pour water on flowers, they flourish . If you don't give them water, they die." I remember as a child I said something unkind about somebody, and my father said, "Any time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it's a reflection of you." He explained that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best in return. From then on I've always tried to follow the principle in my life and later in running my company. Dad's also always very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice: stay in school or leave to work on my magazine. I decided to leave, and Dad tried to _ the decision at first, as any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, "Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I've always regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn't pursue my dream. You know what you want. Go fulfill it." As it turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine in the U.K.. My wife and I have two children, and I'd like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad raised me. Question: What can we know about the author's father? Yes or no, is the answer "He usually encouraged kids."?
No

Article: Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic. Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects. I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research. But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. Question: The author can't remember him relatives clearly because _ Yes or no, is the answer "He was fully occupied with observing nature."?
No

Q: Article: MOSCOW, Sept. 4 (Xinhuanet) --- At least 335 people including 155 children, were killed in the three-day hostage crisis in a southern Russian school, Russia's Deputy Prosecutor General Sergei Fridinsky said on Saturday. "We are still identifying the bodies. We have recovered 322 bodies, and 155 of them are children," Fridinsky was quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency as saying. The prosecutor said the death toll would probably grow as the clean-up operation is continuing at the site, but it will not rise considerably. Emergency workers pulled the bodies out of the school on Saturday, after Russian special forces rescued more than 400 children and adults hostages in a special operation that has suppressed the hostage -taking standoff by Friday night. Valery Andreyev, regional chief of the Federal Security Service (FSS), said Friday that over 30 armed militants took part in the hostage-taking crisis and Russian troops captured three of them alive on Friday, according to the Interfax news agency. He said people of Russian origin and foreign nationals were among the killed hostage-takers. Earlier official information showed that ten Arab militants were killed in Friday's raid . Andreyev said a large amount of explosives and mines planted by hostage-takers in the school have been found. Rusian Presidnet Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit early Saturday to the southern Russian town of Beslan where commandos stormed the school to end the hostage crisis. He accused the attackers of trying to _ an racial conflict that would engulf Russia's troubled Caucasus Mountains region. Question: The last sentence of the passage indirectly states _ . Yes or no, is the answer "the purpose of the attackers' taking over the hostage"?
A: No

Article: In your opinion,what is the most effective way to deal with pressure?Do you think the measure taken by Tufts University is useful? Tufts University has offered extra help around test time to students. Now they're adopting new stress-fighting methods to help the students, who face a tough job market as well as finishing the term. From free massages to therapy dog visits, students are getting help during those days before turning in final papers and taking final exams. "I think these dogs make me happy and give me a nice break between learning, cutting the learning into small pieces,"19-year-old Tufts student Chloe Wong said. She called her first term "challenging", because she has spent weeks away from family and friends and was afraid she would lose her cool in her first set of final exams. But they now get chances to relax and play with these lovely dogs that head teacher Michael Bliss brought in for them. They can set down their books and laptops for a chance to the pet. Therapy dogs have long been used to cheer the sick and the elderly up. But the university is accepting the idea as a way of relieving stress and comforting students. Brian Van Brunt, president of the American College Counseling Association, said, "College students are very stressed at this point of the year and some are trying to catch up with their peers. Going to events like this allows students to clear the brain and press there set button." Question: Which of the following might be the main idea of the passage? Yes or no, is the answer "Therapy dogs help students throw pressure away."?
No
