Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Last night I drove a long way (about 500 km) to return home. It was late and I was driving fast because I wanted to get home as soon as possible. So several times when I was driving behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, I wanted to shout at the driver ahead. Then I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. As I drove near, it turned red. I stopped my car at once. I looked left,right and behind. I found no cars or persons -- I was alone on the road. The person who would come to the crossroad was at least a mile away in any direction. Certainly going through the light would cause no danger. I could pass the traffic light. But strangely enough, I just stopped there, waiting for several minutes until the light went green. I asked myself why I refused to run the light. Surely it was unnecessary for me to be afraid of danger or being fined , because there were no cars or police around at all. But I remained waiting until the light changed. When I finally got home, it was near midnight. My wife had fallen asleep. The question of why I stopped for that light came back to me again, because I stopped another two times for the red lights as "special" as the first one. I stopped, not because of the law, but because it was a good habit I had developed. In fact, we were used to doing something right just because we have made obeying the rules a good habit. We do it just because we should do it. I thought if another man met with the same thing, he would make the same choice. I believed so. And I could be trusted by others. I believed that everyone would and could control himself/herself well. It was amazing that we trusted each other to do the right things, wasn't it? Question: The author waited until the light went green because _ . Options: A: running the light would make him fined B: he was afraid to cause an accident C: he was prevented by the passers-by D: he was used to obeying traffic rules
Answer: D

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: An 18-year-old high school student who had just learned to swim in the last summer vacation saved the life of a drowning Ohio boy on Friday afternoon. Tom Erickson was credited with (......)saving the life of Jason Pryor,10, in Mill Creek Park. Young Jason Pryor, from Chillicothe, was visiting s from Anchor Point when he fell into the Mill Creek. The Pryor boy had no business playing nea k*s5&u r the edge of the river, but he had no idea of the danger. The Creek, with much more water than usual for the recent spring rains, flowed fast and carried the boy around a bend and out of sight from his parents, who took Jason out there and said they had not even witnessed the incident. Luckily for Jason, one of the most unselfish students from Brentwood's Central High School was taking a walk alone through the park. As soon as he found the boy struggling in the water, Erickson jumped into the Creek and managed to pull the drowning boy out of the water. And it was reported that Erickson had never received any life-saving instruction before. "I wasn't sure I could do it," Erickson said. "I didn't know if I could swim through the river by myself, not to mention getting another person out with me." This incident should be a lesson to young children who do not know how to swim. Stay away from dangerous bodies of water. Question: What would be the best title for the passage? Options: A: Did You Know the Danger of Water B: Be Responsible Parents C: The Fast Running Mill Creek D: Beginning Swimmer Saved Drowning Boy
Answer: D

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: What's going to happen in the future? Will robots take over our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen 10 to 30 years later from now, according to the BBC. 1.Digital money We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we swipe our bus pass or use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us even seeing it. In fact, we are already using one type of digital money. You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash. When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. People in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, according to the Associated Press, and the US might be next. 2.Bionic eye It's no longer something only in a scifi movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back--by wearing bionic eyes. A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to "see" the environment and send data directly to the brain. Although the bionic eye that's out now only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes, a highresolution version could be just a few years away. 3.Selfdriving cars Everything is going automatic these days--washing machines, ticket selling machines and even cars. Unlike a human driver, a selfdriving car won't get _ by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. Many vehicle companies are now planning selfdriving cars. "By 2040, driverless vehicles will be widely accepted and possibly be the dominant vehicles on the road," said Jeffrey Miller, professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage, US, in Wired magazine. Question: Jeffrey Miller's attitude towards selfdriving cars is _ . Options: A: optimistic B: pessimistic C: doubtful D: cautious
Answer:
A
