Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Dear Peter How about your study? It's Sunday today. I'm writing a letter to you. I'm going to tell you something in Beijing. Beijing is different from London. In our country, we drive on the left side of the road, but here people drive on the right side. Most people go to work by bus or by bike. The rush hours are from seven to nine in the morning and five to seven in the afternoon. People in China work around eight hours a day, five days a week. They usually begin to work at eight in the morning, and rest on Saturday and Sunday. I have Chinese classes every morning from Monday to Friday. The students in our class are from many countries. We're all working hard and friendly to each other. The Chinese students are ready to help us with our Chinese. We also help them a lot with their English. We are getting along very well. That's all for today. Please write to me soon. Yours Susan Question: People drive on _ in London.

Ques:Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Rico is a dog who lives in Germany . His owners trained him from a young age to find his toys. When they say the name of a certain toy, Rico can find it. In fact, he seems to know the names of 200 toys! Some researchers in Germany wanted to test Rico. They put his toys in a room and then told him to go in the room and find a certain toy. Since nobody was in the room with Rico, he had no help from anyone finding the right toy. The researchers did this test forty times. Rico found the right toy thirty-seven times! Then the researchers tried something else. They put seven of Rico's toys in the room together with one new toy that Rico had never seen before. Then they told Rico to go into the room and get the new toy. This new toy had a name Rico had never heard before. Rico found the right toy seven out of ten times! Researchers cannot really say that Rico knows words or language. However, these tests seem to show that Rico can think about what he hears and think about what he knows. In fact, Rico seems to think and remember things as well as a three-year-old child. From these tests, animal researchers know one thing for sure. Rico has given them a lot to think about. Question: At first researchers asked Rico to _ . Options: A: bring a certain toy out of a room B: choose a toy that he liked best C: name toys and put them away D: put his toys into his room

Ans:A

Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business--future mail. "The letter should be sent next Mother's Day and not a day earlier!" Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service. Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother's Day. "Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of 'time' in another way," said Zheng Zhimin, manager at a "future mail" company. Zheng thinks "future mail" letters help remind us of care, friendship and love. While "future mail" is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive. Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract to make sure that they can be _ if their letters are lost or damaged. Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar workers. Psychologists said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection between the past and the present when they receive the letter. Question: "Future mail" is a/an _ way to send your letter. Options: A: fast B: old C: new D: cheap
Answer:
C
