I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an old 40-meter-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes. "I love the space, and being private," Elizabeth says. "You feel separated from the world. If I am in the kitchen, which is 25 meters above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I am in!" There are 142 steps to the top so if I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Except for that, it's a brilliant place to live. "When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look." "Living here can be difficult--yesterday I climbed a four-meter ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to the sea on a clear day, and that's a wonderful experience. I am really glad we moved. " Question: Which of the following best describes Elizabeth's feelings about the tower? Options: A: She wanted it as soon as she saw it. B: She likes most things about it. C: She has been worried since they paid for it. D: She finds it unsuitable to live in.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Are you afraid of sharks? You shouldn't be! Below we cleared up the main _ about one of the world's most perfectly formed creatures ... All sharks are the same. This is ly not true. There are nearly four hundred species of sharks and they vary widely in habitat, size, features, diet and lifestyle. They range from the cigar shark, which is about 15 centimetres long, to the whale shark, which can be up to about nine meters long. More than 50 percent of sharks are less than a metre long and more than 90 percent are less than two metres long. And their habitat ranges from shallow to deep water and from the Arctic to the Tropic. _ This is not true, either. In fact, many shark populations are decreasing. The chief reason for this is that hundreds of thousands of them are caught in fishing nets. Depending on where they are caught. They are either killed for their fins , which are used in shark's fin soup, or they are tossed back into the sea because they are unwanted. Almost all sharks which are discarded in this way die. Also, sharks mature late in life and produce very few young. If the current reduction in numbers continues, the ecological balance of the oceans will be severely threatened. Sharks will always attack you This is nonsense. The chances of being attacked by a shark are minimal. You are 250 times more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark, and your chances of being killed by lightning are practically zero. However, if you are planning to take a swim in shark territory, then follow these simple rules: Avoid swimming at dawn or duck when visibility decreases. Avoid areas where there are breaking waves. Turbulent water makes it difficult for sharks to see and determine whether you are prey . Do not wear jewellery in the water. Sharks are attracted to shiny fishes, and jewellery may resemble their scales . Do not swim near schools of small fish, which are the favorite food of some sharks. Question: Which of the following rules should you follow when you're going to swim in shark areas? Options: A: Don't swim before day breaks. B: Choose areas where there are big waves. C: Wear something shiny when swimming. D: Choose areas where there are many small fish.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook. I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though. If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the present time. The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well. In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behavior. Question: The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to _ . Options: A: explain telling lies is not moral for little children. B: advise people should be rewarded for their goodness. C: prove moral lessons in schools have little effect. D: show he has no opinions about moral science.
