Mom: Daniel, I need to talk to you about your behavior. Dad and I realize there is probably an explanation for why the house is so dirty, but you shouldn't have run out of the room and closed the door so hard like that. Daniel: Mom, I'm sorry, but I was so angry! You want me to act like an adult but you and dad treat me like a child. Why didn't you just ask me what had happened? Mom: Well, I know that grown-ups are supposed to make good decisions but sometimes we make mistakes. We were angry too. None of us stopped to think and we should have. Can you explain to me now why the house was a mess and what you did with the money we left? Daniel: Spot was sick, Mom. Eric and I didn't want to call you and dad on your vacation, so I used the money you left and some of my own to take him to the vet. We stayed there and waited for him all day. That is why we didn't have time to clean the house. Who is Spot? A) He is Daniel's brother. B) He is Eric's classmate. C) He is a pet dog. D) He is a sporty boy.

"The British government will offer PS1,000,000 to anyone who can solve the world's biggest problem--whatever it might be," said Prime Minister David Cameron at a science conference. In an unusual competition, the Government will ask people to find out the greatest challenge today, such as finding a replacement for oil, producing low cost food or curing AIDS/HIV. When the toughest problem has been decided, the Prime Minister will give away PS1,000,000 to the person who successfully works out the answer. The competition follows the example of the Longitude Prize started by the government in 1714, which offered PS20,000 (worth PS6,000,000 today) to anyone who could discover how far east or west ships had sailed. Sailors could work out their location north and south, and were able to decide their local time from the sun. However, they needed to know the time at a reference point in order to find out how far they had travelled east or west. Many people thought the problem was impossible to solve, but the prize was finally won by John Harrison, an ordinary worker. He did this by designing a clock that kept accurate time at sea and made it possible for sailors to work out their location. Almost exactly 300 years on, Mr Cameron will have a group of scientists collect suggestions and draw up a short list of problems facing the world. He will then start a race to solve the most difficult problem. A government officer said, "We want people to think big: what does the world need and how can we achieve that? We are looking for the next penicillin , airplane or World Wide Web. Something that is going to really change what we do and how we live our lives--sending us ahead in the global race. "According to Mr Cameron, it is important to "encourage new ideas" and "attract back the best and the brightest" to Britain. Which of the following is true according to the text? A) John Harrison was sure that he would win the prize. B) The million pound prize will go to a British scientist. C) The British government pays special attention to the nation's creativity. D) A replacement for oil is considered as the toughest problem by the scientists.

Ques:Do you like to sit in front of the computer and play computer games hour after hour? Have you ever thought of what that may be doing to your health? More and more children are becoming overweight and growing less creative because they spend too much time in front of the computer according to a survey. Last week Child Protective Services in America organized an activity. The aim of the activity was to encourage children to do some outdoor activities instead of playing computer games at home. Many American children spend about 1,000 hours a year playing computer games -- more time than they spend in school. As a result, they are overweight. Some of them have very poor _ , and they can't see clearly. Everyone should pay attention to his health and try to keep healthy. The doctor says that the longer children play computer games, the more overweight they may become. And the junk food children eat while they're playing computer games makes the weight problem more serious. To keep fit, children need to take exercise regularly, play outside with friends, and explore the world around them. Can you spend two weeks without playing computer games? It might be difficult for computer lovers, but why not have a try? Children may become _ if they play computer games all day. A) much younger B) much lighter C) less creative D) less careful

Ques: Your daughter has finally reached the age of 18, and you think perhaps your job will finally get a little easier. That could be wrong thinking - as the parent of any 18-year-old will tell you. Learning to _ an ungrateful 18-year-old daughter takes patience, understanding and time. _ When she was a little girl, she wanted you to be involved in everything of her life from her daily activities to her friends. This is' no longer the case. She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life. Comment on her choices only when asked to do so - especially if you want to say no to her. Allow her to make mistakes. No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end. Unless you see a train coming, let her fall when she makes poor choices. It will enable her to grow past the ungrateful "know it all" stage. Encourage dialogue whenever you can, rather than planning talks. She's more likely to open up to you when talking over something trivial . Anytime she wants to talk, become a willing listener in the conversation. You never know when a deeper, more important conversation will develop. The passage is written for _ . A) daughters B) students C) parents D) females
