I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Life on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water--whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish--will always have to be met. Given this premise , there are two basic routes we can go; more equal access to water or better engineering solutions. Look at the engineering solutions first. A lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal changes of the river--the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the near future, governments will have no excuses for their ignorance. The engineers' ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability, too. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less floodplain agriculture, none of which were expected. And there average economic life is assumed to be thirty years. Dams don't exist forever, but what will replace them is not clear. The challenge for the future is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World? Question: The author suggests that governments will have no excuse for their careless ignorance in the future because _ . Options: A: The ecological destruction will be known to the public by researchers B: The ecological destruction will no longer be a problem in the future C: The future is an information age D: Governments will face greater challenge in the future

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Foreigners are likely to acquire more investment opportunities in China since the central government has passed a fresh regulation on Tuesday to attract foreign capital . The regulation, which will take effect on April 1, outlines how prefix = st1 /Chinawill expand cooperation with foreign investors. Compared with the old foreign investment guideline, the government has given foreigners more investment opportunities. And the government also encourages foreigners to take part in the key state owned enterprises reform . According to the regulation, overseas investors are expected to become shareholders in the key state owned enterprises. Overseas investors will even be allowed to hold the controlling stake in the large state owned enterprises, except for those of key importance to national or economic security. "China's WTO membership has reduced the risks and costs for foreign investors, and more capital and advanced techniques and expert knowledge or skill are expected to flow in," an official said. In particular, the new regulation appeals ( makes an earnest request ) for capital for agricultural technology, transportation, energy and new material industry. The service industry, including banking, telecommunication, insurance, and tourism, will gradually become another focal point of cooperation. The country hopes foreign investors start businesses in the western regions, where they will enjoy more favorable taxation policies for the next 10 years. Question: According to the passage, after the fresh regulation has taken effect, _ . Options: A: Chinese capital will be attracted by foreign countries B: Foreigners will be likely to acquire more opportunities to attract Chinese capital C: More investment will be given to the countries like China D: More and more foreign capital will be brought in

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Chelsea Clinton, the 31-year-old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is stepping into her own spotlight.

As a young adult, Chelsea continued to avoid media attention in order to attend college and quietly enter the business world. Once her mother decided to run for the presidency in 2007, however, Chelsea made hundreds of public appearances, mostly on college campuses, to support the campaign. More recently, she has worked for New York University and promoted her father's latest book. She is currently pursuing a doctor's degree at Oxford. Clinton is the second daughter of a president hired by NBC News; Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former President George W. Bush, works as a correspondent for NBC's "Today" show.
