I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Mother's Day is the time you say "thank you" to your mom. Stop shopping at the store. Flowers and other things in stores are too common to mention. You can choose a special gift for Mother's Day! Just try staying close to home--and heart --write a Mother's Day poem for her. Use your head. Think of special moments when you were a child, times you've shared with your mom, things she did for you, and why you love her. Write down how those moments influenced you. Write down everything you can think of. This is your inspiration for the poem. Look at what you wrote and pick out those things that are connected . See if any words rhyme . It's fine to write a free poem(one without rhymes), but many people find poems with rhymes are easier to work with, easier to read and quite catchy . If no words rhyme but you want your poem to, try to find connecting words that can help connect memories. Once you have a few sentences, put them in a good order. For example, you could start with a childhood memory and end with something you remember from last month. Add a title that shows the feeling of the poem. Even something as simple as "For Mom" can work, although something more personal might be better. Write it in pen if you have beautiful handwriting. Read the poem over breakfast on Mother's Day, and then hand it to your mom. Let's wait and see the smile and tears of happiness on her face. Question: It's better to write a poem with rhymes because _ . Options: A: it is easier to read and remember B: it makes the poem more interesting C: it shows the unforgettable moments D: it shows how things are connected

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye. Queen City Casket Company. "What is it?" I wondered I turned it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand - scrawled message. Immediately my mind traveled back many years ago. I was nine years old, walking down the cold, wet street of prefix = st1 /Springfield, with a bag of magazines on my shoulder. On my rounds that day, I came to that company finally, whose owner, Mr. Rader, had always taken me there to ask his workers whether they wanted any magazines. Shaking off the rain like a wet dog, I entered Mr. Rader's office. After a quick glance he led me over to the fireplace. Noticing the hole in the top of my shoe, he said, "Come with me!" pulling me into his car . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store. Inside, a salesman fitted me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had ever seen. I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up in them. "We' d like a pair of new socks too," Mr. Rader said. Back in his office, Mr. Rader took out a card, wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With tearful eyes, I read, " _ ." He said affectionately, "Jimmy, I want you to know I love you".

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Last week at a friend's birthday party, there was a mooncake eating contest and I persuaded my good friend Jonathan to take part in it. Even though he had just finished a big dinner, he managed to win the contest. Not only did he win a bottle of nice whiskey, but also a big box of expensive Hong Kong mooncakes. A few days later, I was hosting an opening party for my new office. Jonathan showed up with the lovely box of Hong Kong mooncakes he had won the other night. I thought it was a lovely joke, and the mooncakes were delicious. Still, it got me thinking about the concept of regifting in prefix = st1 /China. In the States, we have a tradition around Christmas similar to giving mooncakes, only we call them fruitcakes. Fruitcakes are made from terrible preserved fruit and nobody likes to eat them. You often find your friends giving the fruitcake you gave them to someone else, and so on. But fruitcakes aside, it isn't very often to catch someone regifting something in America, as it's seen to be very cheap and embarrassing . An obvious way to tell if something has been regifted is to check the wrapping . However, many of my friends in Chinawill proudly regift an old gift, especially if it is still wrapped in a pretty box. I find it somewhat uncomfortable to receive a gift that I know wasn't bought for me. But I also understand that the gift is perfectly good, it just lacks the special meaning of being picked out by a friend. There are many occasions in Chinese culture when gifts are necessary. There are traditional items such as tea, cigarettes and liquor which seem fine to regift. These gifts are not personal and have no special meaning. But is it really proper to give someone something that was never bought for them in the first place? Question: The author thinks it really uncomfortable to receive_. Options: A: an expensive gift from a close friend B: a gift given again by a friend C: some items such as tea and cigarettes D: a box of mooncakes from Hong Kong
