Article: "Can you take me golfing sometimes?" my 13-year-old son asked. I had a bathroom to remodel . I wanted to say no. "Sure," I said."What did you have in mind ?" "Well, maybe you could, like, pick up Jared and me after school on Friday and take us out to Oakway." "Sounds good." Friday came. In front of the school, Ryan and Jared piled in. Ryan looked confused. "What's with the golf hat, Dad ?" he asked It was, I thought, a silly question, like asking a diver: "What's with the swim fins ?" "Well, I thought we were going to play some golf." There was a strange pause. "Uh, you're going, too ?" He asked. Suddenly, it struck me that I hadn't been invited. Thirteen years of parenting flashed before my eyes. All these memories sped by in about two seconds, leaving me about three seconds to reply. I had to say something. I wanted to say this: "How could you do this to me? We have always been a team." But I said: "Me? Play? No. You know I'm up to my ears in the remodel project." We drove on in silence for a few moments. "So, how are you planning to play for this?" I asked, my wounnded ego reaching for the dagger "Uh, could you loan me $7?" Oh, I get it. He doesn't want me, but he'll gladly take my money. "No problem, " I said. I dropped him and Jared off, wished them luck, and headed for home. Life would never be the same. I walked in the door. "What are you doing home?" my wife asked. "I wasn't invited." I replied. Another one of those strange pauses came. Then my wife laughed. Out loud. At first, I was hurt. Then I, too, laughed. I went back to the bathroom remodel and realized that this is what life is all about: change. A few hours later, I heard Ryan walk in the front door. "Dad," he said, "My game stinks . Can you take me golfing sometime ? I need some help." I wanted to hug him and shout: "I'm still needed!" Instead, I got one of those serious-dad looks on my face and said: "Sure, Ry, anytime." Question: After the author picked up his son and Jared at school, he _ . Yes or no, is the answer "realized that he had not been invited to the golf game"?
Yes

Article: It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non - English speaking home, He was very quiet and shy, I wasn't sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play, If I tried to talk to him , he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me. After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls, I called her over and she ran to me , ready to help. I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her, I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communication with him , I explained she could do that , she could try this idea, she could try that idea, "Don't worry, I speak kid" And she ran off. I stood there all alone, silently watching her, It took less than a minute for the two new friends to urn off, hand in hand , happily joining a game of tag taking place all over the gym.

Question: Why did the author worry about the boy? Yes or no, is the answer "He was unwilling to communicate with others"?
(Answer)

Ques: Article: Have you ever posted letters to your friends or parents? If so, you must have put stamps on the letters before you sent them. But, how did people receive letters before stamps were invented, and who came up with the idea of using stamps? In the past, stamps and envelopes were not used. When people wanted to send a letter, they would close the paper with a seal . The person who got the letter had to pay for it. Because costs at that time were very high, most people refused to accept letters. In fact, the sender would often place secret marks on the outside of the letter. The person who was sent the letter would read the secret message. Then, they would refuse to accept the letter and did not have to pay for it. In Britain, Sir Rowland Hill introduced the "Post Office Reforms" in 1837. He decided that letters could go to any place in the country for a penny even if the letter had to go far away. The cost was to be paid by the sender of the letter. Payment was recorded by placing a small piece of coloured paper on the letter, the stamp! On May 6,1840, the first stamp called the "Penny Black" was born. Because the stamp was printed in black, the stamp became known as the "Penny Black". This is now the world's most famous stamp. This new system spread fast. Question: Before stamps were used, _ would pay for the letter. Yes or no, is the answer "the receiver"?
Ans: No
