I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old.The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion . Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom.The children play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the new languages, some experts say immersion programs are the most effective way for young children to learn a language.But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age.Not many elementary schools continue to teach a foreign language.Only seven of the fifty states require schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve.Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language.Still, American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary schools.By then, students are about thirteen years old. American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs.The government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind. At the college, the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages and more languages are being studied now than in the past.Spanish is the most widely taught in American colleges and universities.French, German, Chinese and Italian are also popular.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A few weeks ago, I went into Chase's class for help. I e-mailed Chase's teacher one evening and said, "My son keeps telling me that the thing you're sending home is math -- but I'm not sure I believe him. Help, please." She e-mailed right back and said, "No problem! I can help Chase after school anytime." And I said, "No, not him. Me. Hegets it.Help me." And that's why I stayed with Chase's math teacher. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like math and reading are not the most important things that are learned in a classroom. We also talked about something else ---- kindness and bravery. And then she told me this. Every Friday afternoon Chase's teacher asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down the names of four children with whom they'd like to sit the following week. She also asks the students to nominate one student who they think is the most popular student that week. They needn't write down their names on the paper. After the students go home, she takes out those pieces of paper, and studies them. In fact, Chase's teacher is not looking for a new seating chart or "popular students." She is looking for lonely children. She's looking for the ones who are unwilling to connect with others. She is discovering whose gifts are not noticed by their classmates. Then she gets to know who needs help. After watching Columbine the wise woman realized that all violence comes from loneliness. So she decided to start fighting violence early and often, and what she is doing is SAVING LIVES. And she finds the lonely kids through those lists and tries to help them. It's math to her. All is love - evenmath. Question: Why does Chase's teacher ask her students to write down some names on paper? Options: A: Because She is looking for the popular student. B: Because she is looking for a new seating chart. C: Because she wants to help her students learn math. D: Because she wants to find the lonely children.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers later in life. J. K. Rowling, writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out. Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do _ work. This kind of passion finally led him to become President of the United States. The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist. Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it's all a matter of how hard you try. Question: _ was a teacher before he (she) became famous. Options: A: Vincent Van Gogh B: Ronald Reagan C: J. K. Rowling D: Harry Potter

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula . It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn't get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn't even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain. Question: According to the passage, the most important thing a teacher should do is _ . Options: A: to teacher his students everything he knows B: to teach the students how to think C: to know everything they want to know D: to teach the students how to work out a math problem
Answer:
