One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared... and bit him on the hand. A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish. "I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door," Mr. Jackson said. Anyway, Mr. Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was. Then Mr. Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr. Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day. "So my advice is this: if a snake bites you, pick up your phone.

Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: An elephant and a monkey were arguing. "Look, how big and strong I am!" The elephant said. The monkey disagreed, "Look, how fast I can run and climb! Can you?" At last they asked a wise tiger, "Which is better--to be strong or to be quick?" The tiger said, "Go across the river and pick the fruit on that tree for me, then I can tell." So they went to the river, but the water ran fast and the monkey was afraid. "Get on my back," said the elephant proudly, "I shall carry you." Soon they crossed the river. There stood the tree. But the fruit was too high for the elephant to reach. He also tried to pull the tree down, but failed. "Don't worry." The monkey climbed quickly up the tree, and picked the fruit. Then they returned and gave the tiger the fruit. "Which is better--to be strong or to be quick?" The tiger smiled, "Neither of you could get the fruit alone. It took both the elephant's strength and the monkey's quickness to get it." Question: Why couldn't the elephant get the fruit? - Because the elephant was ill. - Because the tree was not strong. - Because the monkey was fast. - Because the fruit was too high.
