I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: In 1992, I had just launched a new business called Video News International. It was the world's first video journalist network. The idea was to cover news and sell the service to news organizations. One day, a young intern who was working for us named Anthony Lappe pulled me aside. "There is something you have to see," he told me. "Comcast is doing this really cool thing." "What?" "The Internet," he said. "It's going to be really big." Anthony later introduced me to the head of the Internet project. "We are looking for content to put on our network here," the guy said to me. Well, I said I had lots of content to offer. The guy's eyes lit up. "Cool," he said. "We would like to put it on our network." Well, I was always looking for new clients. "What are you going to pay?" I asked. He said that they could not pay anything for the content, but they would set up a URL for me. "What's that?" I asked. "It's kind of like your address on the web." "What would I do with this URL thing?" "Well, it could be your business." "I don't see how it is a business, and there's not even any advertising," I cleverly replied. "Not yet," he said. "But one day there might be." I thought about it for two seconds. "Naah..." I said. " _ . I've got to be going now. Maybe we can cooperate next time." And I walked out. Idiot! Well, that Internet thing turned out to be so much bigger than I had thought. I wish I had never made such a mistake. Sorry Anthony. You were right. Question: The guy's offer was rejected because the author _ Options: A: didn't think it a good deal B: was unwilling to trust a stranger C: was too occupied to start a new business D: was worried about the safety of e-business

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The strong emphasis on educational achievement in China, Japan and other parts of South-East Asia may be coming at a heavy price. Researchers say that hard work at school plus the lack of exposure to outdoor light is damaging the eyes of almost nine out of ten students--with one in five at serious risk of visual impairment and blindness. The scientists say that young people need up to three hours a day of outdoor light, but many infants are also missing out as they nap during lunch time. Dr. Ian Morgan is the lead author of the study. "I think what's happened in South-East Asia is that we've got _ . We've got the massive educational pressures and we've got the construction of a child's day in a way that really minimises the amount of time they spend outside in bright light." The scientists say that genetic factors, long thought to play a big role in short-sightedness, are not as important as the environment. They point to Singapore as a place with several different racial groups, all of whom are now suffering high levels of short-sightedness. The authors suggest that compulsory time outdoors should be considered by educational authorities across South-East Asia as a way of dealing with the problem. Question: What does the passage mainly talk about ? Options: A: Educational achievement in Asia. B: Sight problems in South-East Asia. C: Risk of visual impairment and blindness. D: Massive educational pressures
