Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: "Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn't mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their lives. Sometimes wise people make foolish choices. It doesn't mean they're foolish; it means they're improving!" Sometimes mistakes mean something that you are trying new things. It's good to try new things. Because when you are trying new things, you are growing. If you never have a try, you will never make progress. Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things. I remember clearly what life was like back in 2006. I was 17 years old and in a really bad place. In a chemistry 1ab, I was doing an experiment . I tried twenty times, but I couldn't succeed. So I decided to stop doing the experiment. I felt a little unhappy. Mr. Green seemed to understand my thought. He touched my head with a smile, "Young man, you have done a lot and you've got a lot. At least you know that there are twenty ways you can't use to do this experiment." After hearing the words, I became excited again. I kept doing the experiment and at last I did succeed. Question: What did Mr. Green want to do with those words? Options: A: To show how foolish the writer was. B: To show how strict the teacher was. C: To encourage the writer to go on making mistakes. D: To encourage the writer to go on doing the experiment.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: .British people are famous for drinking tea. But brother and sister, Sarah and Bobby Green, became young millionaires when they opened a chain of American-style coffee shops in the UK. Having the idea: It started when Sarah took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening, in a Thai restaurant, Sarah told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee in London. Bobby suggested they started their own coffee shop. Sarah fell in love with the idea. Doing the Research: Back in London, she spent a whole day on the London subway, getting off the train at different stations to taste the coffee. "It was terrible, and I knew there was a gap in the market." In 1995, they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in central London. Making it work: The first year was very difficult. British people were not used to the names of American coffees, like latte and macchiato. But being successful was their dream and they were not going to give up. Today, there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has PS30 million a year. Advice for others: Sarah has now written a best-selling book about their experience, calledAnyone Can Do It ! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She says, "If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream." Question: Where are their Coffee Republic shops? Options: A: All over the UK. B: All over the US.
