I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Question: Which program is in Guinness World Records as the world's longest running TV quiz show? Answer: "It's Academic." "It's Academic" is a Saturday morning program for high school students. The show has been broadcast in the Washington area for fifty years. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton competed on the show when she was a teenager. Teams from local schools are questioned about subjects like history, literature, math, science, religion, politics and sports. Sophie was a TV producer in the 1950s. She started "It's Academic" after local school officials asked her to create a program that showed outstanding students. The show's host, 84-year-old Mac McGarry, who has hosted "It's Academic" since the beginning, says, "When we first started, the young people from various countries were not evident so much. Now, each program presents young people from all over the world, at least descendants from people all over the world." Mac McGarry said, "Every time I look up, I see people who are just seventeen years old. And I think, 'Well, _ . They are full of enthusiasm. I really have to become more active to keep up with them.'" More than 20,000 students have appeared on the show. Mac McGarry has asked more than 200,000 questions and gotten more than a few funny answers. Kelly Reeder led the team from Rockville High School in Maryland last year. Her school has won the championship on "It's Academic" several times. She says, "We have put in a lot of effort over the years. It's a really huge honor to end up on the A Team. My friends who are on 'It's Academic' think it's cool that I'm the captain of the A Team, but my friends who are not on 'It's Academic' think it's kind of funny." Question: Sophie created the program originally to _ . Options: A: pick out outstanding students B: focus on students' schoolwork C: attract more TV viewers D: accomplish a given task

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: At Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, the lights are controlled by sensors that measure sunlight. They dim immediately when it's sunny and brighten when a passing cloud blocks the sun. A wall of windows at a University of Pennsylvania engineering building has built-in blinds controlled by a computer program that follows the sun's path. Buildings are getting smarter and the next generation of building materials is expected to do even more. Windows could catch the sun's energy to heat water. Sensors that measure the carbon dioxide breathed out by people in a room could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up. Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years. They are now being used in a wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible. They include old ideas, like "green roofs", where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out. As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread. The elevators at Seven World Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a system that groups people traveling to nearby floors into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops. People who work in the building will enter it by swiping ID cards that will tell the elevators their floor, readouts will then tell them which elevator to use. The building also has windows with a coating that blocks heat while letting in light. More new building materials and technology are in development. A Philadelphia building firm is now working on "smart wrap" that uses tiny solar collectors to catch the sun's energy and transmitters as wide as a human hair to move it. They are expected to change the face of the construction industry in the next ten years or so. Question: What might be the most suitable title for the text? Options: A: Buildings Are Becoming Smarter B: Buildings Are Getting More Sunlight C: Buildings Are Lacking in Much Energy D: Buildings Are Using Cheaper Materials

Ques:I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: When a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty ,or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favour, taking it as true that he or she has a just right. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter. Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example,"The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work.". The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights. Question: If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it's better to complain to _ . Options: A: a shop assistant B: the producer C: a public organization D: a store manager
