[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Climbing the corporate ladder during my 32 years at Southern Bell (now AT&T) never appealed much to me. But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story. In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Georgia. I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself. I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997. I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced that day. People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, "Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man say, "Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nervous, but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could've done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it. Options: A Concentration and strength. B Confidence and patience. C Bravery and devotion. D Efficiency and talent. Answer: A Concentration and strength. Question:

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Mark Ramirez, a senior executive at AOL, could work in the comfortable leather chair, if he wanted. No, thanks. He prefers to stand most of the day at a desk raised above stomach level. "I've got my knees bent. I feel totally alive," he said. "It feels more natural to stand." In the past few years, standing has become the new sitting for 10 percent of AOL employees at the firm's Virginia branch. Part of a standing popularity is among accountants, programmers, telemarketers and other office workers across the nation. GeekDesk, a California firm that sells desks raised by electric motors, says sales will triple this year. Standers give various reasons for taking to their feet: It makes them feel more focused, prevents drowsiness , and makes them feel like a general even if they just push paper. (Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfels works standing up. So does novelist Philip Roth.) But unknown to them, a debate is spreading among ergonomics experts and public-health researchers about whether all office workers should be encouraged to stand--to save lives. Doctors point to surprising new research showing higher rates of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and even mortality among people who sit for long stretches. A study earlier this year in theAmerican Journal of Epidemiologyshowed that among 123,000 adults followed over 14 years, those who sat more than six hours a day were at least 18 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat less than three hours a day. "Every rock we turn over when it comes to sitting is astonishing," said Marc Hamilton, a leading researcher on inactivity physiology at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana. "Sitting is harmful. It's dangerous. We are on the cusp of a major revolution." He calls sitting "the new smoking". Not so fast, other experts say. Standing too much at work will cause more long-term back injuries. Incidences of varicose veins among women will increase. The heart will have to pump more. Hedge, the Cornell... Options: A it is better not to stand more than 6 hours B sitting too long can arouse illnesses easily C sitting long is specially harmful to adults D standing much is better than sitting long Answer: B sitting too long can arouse illnesses easily Question:

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: The Human Genome Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life. For the last few years, the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the population imagination. While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the Untied States, which began in 1990, is "unlocking the code" of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS. Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses. Options: A Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses. B Because the human genome's completion can help to get rid of many diseases. C Because they wanted to be better known than others. D Because the Human Genome Project can provided a lot of chances of work. Answer: B Because the human genome's completion can help to get rid of many diseases. Question:
