I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives -either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops. In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away. Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next,Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a close to each family. From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place. Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away. Question: Which of the following is true according to the passage? Options: A: Young elephants ignore African honeybees. B: Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place. C: Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them. D: Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: One day in 1965,when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle,a fourthgrade teacher approached me.She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge."Could he help in the library?" she asked.I said, "Send him along." Soon a slight,sandyhaired boy in jeans and a Tshirt appeared."Do you have a job for me?" he asked. I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books.He picked up the idea immediately.Then I showed him a stack of cards for longoverdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them.He said,"Is it kind of a detective job?" I answered yes,and he became working. He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced,"Time for break!"He argued for finishing the finding job;she made the case for fresh air.She won. The next morning,he arrived early."I want to finish these books,"he said.At the end of the day,when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis,it was easy to say yes.He worked untiringly. After a few weeks I found a note on my desk,inviting me to dinner at the boy's home.At the end of a pleasant evening,his mother announced that the family would be moving to a neighbouring school district.Her son's first concern,she said,was leaving the View Ridge library."Who will find the lost books?" he asked. When the time came,I said an unwilling goodbye.I missed him,but not for long.A few days later he came back and joyfully announced,"The librarian over there doesn't let boys work in the library.My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge.My dad will drop me off on his way to work.And if he can't,I'll walk!" I should have had an idea such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go.What I could not have guessed,however,was that he would become a genius of the Information Age:Bill Gates,tycoon of Microsoft and America's richest man. Question: What was the boy told to do on his first day in the library? Options: A: To rearrange the books according to the new system. B: To put those overdue books back to the shelves. C: To find out the books with wrong cards in them. D: To put the cards back in the longoverdue books.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Honestly, since my daughter was born, I have thought a lot about how to raise a child. I once heard a story that told about when a baby was born. The story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born. The parents of that baby would become the servants. The question is: Why? Based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. Most parents who don't pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids' attitude. I'll make a comparison of how two families raise their children. The first one is a family with three children. Both mother and father never say "No" to their children's demands. As a result, all of their children became stubborn and won't listen to their parents' words, "We can't." The second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. The parents never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. They always postponed one or two days, even if they could afford it. Due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. As a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time. In my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers. Question: Why did the writer give two different stories in this passage? Options: A: To help prove his opinion about raising a child. B: To list different ways that parents may take. C: To criticize some parents' foolish action. D: To prove that his way of education is right.
