I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Researchers have revealed 25 major life milestones - and the ages by which we should have achieved them. A new study has unveiled the ultimate guide to life, which involves passing a driving test at the age of 20, moving out at 22 and getting married at 27. The comprehensive study, which draws on the wisdom, life experience and regrets of almost 2,000 adults between the ages of 16 and 65, also found we should be earning the average wage by the age of 30. Researchers also revealed 19 is the best age to start a full-time job, while we should feel free to enjoy the first holiday without mum and dad two years later. Early 20s should also include moving out of home, buying our first car and flying to sunnier places for the first time with a boyfriend or girlfriend. A spokeswoman for Amigo Loans, which commissioned the study, said: "It's normal to want to achieve certain things by certain ages and it's good to be ambitious. "Borrowing money to achieve life's milestones, such as moving out, buying a car or starting a business is harder than ever for ordinary, hard-working people and our research shows nearly half of 16-34 year-olds expect to turn to their family and friends for financial help to achieve their life goals. Indeed, nearly 80 per cent of our guarantors are family members." As we head to late 30s and early 40s, we ought to be aiming to have moved to slightly bigger second home, have earnings of around PS40k a year or more, and even set up our own business. The study also looked into the subject of pressure and the part it plays in helping us achieve our goals. One in three people said they felt there was more pressure on the current generation to reach milestones within specific time frames. But according to the data, a large percentage of us also put the pressure on ourselves to achieve things by certain times. Question: According to the passage, pressure _ Options: A: Is beneficial to many people B: Is always the subject of life milestones C: Plays a passive role in milestone D: Has nothing to do with life milestones

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Man is the most intelligent animal created by God because God has given him language which other animals do not have. Communication makes life extremely convenient and easy. Language plays a very important role in life as any emotion can be easily and effectively conveyed through language to anyone. But all this is applicable and beneficial only to human beings. What about animals? How do they communicate with each other? We all know that animals do not have the ability to use language as a medium for communication. But they do have other means of conveying messages to other animals, of which use of body language is the most important one. The messages can be of many types like conveying food location, danger alarms, appreciation of good deeds like helping other animals in dangerous situations, etc. There are two main types of communication in animals: verbal communication and non-verbal communication. Sound is one of the most common types of verbal communication in animals, and majority of the species use it as the medium to convey messages. Bats have to rely on sound waves to communicate.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: You may have heard of the American Dream, an ideal that has powered the hopes of Americans for generations. It began as a belief that the US was a land of opportunity, and that anyone could achieve success through hard work. At times, the dream has referred to home ownership, a good job, retirement security or each generation doing better than the last. Yet today, this concept seems to have greatly changed. As Time magazine pointed out, quite different from the older generation, many Millennials (the generation born after 1980) redefine the American Dream as "day-to-day control of your life". They "prize job mobility, flexible schedules, any work that is more interesting than typing, and the ability to travel", said the magazine. Home ownership, once the _ of the American Dream, is becoming a smaller priority for this generation. Meanwhile, nearly 40% of them choose travel as part of their dream. And entrepreneurship is a rising favorite, as nearly 26% of Millennials consider self-employment as part of their dream. So what has led to this huge change? Many point fingers at the poor economy. "Modern young Americans seem bound to face a world stamped by ever narrowing opportunity and social stagnation ,"noted The Daily Beast. "The rate of 16-to 24-year-olds out of school and out of work is unusually high at 15%. Many college graduates have taken jobs that don't require a degree," Time reported. The magazine worries that these difficulties may lead to a lost generation who are "unable to ever truly find their feet on the corporation's ladder". Dan Kadlec, a reporter of Time, sees Millennials as resetting their expectations."This situation is different for young adults today," he wrote. "A true American dream has to feel attainable, and many Millennias are feeling they can only attain a day-today lifestyle that suits them." Question: What can be the best title for this passage? Options: A: Redefinition of American Dream B: Meaning of American Dream C: Value of Achieving American Dream D: History of Changing American Dream
