Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Some say the Internet will kill off papers. Others say not so fast. Are newspapers dying? That's the heated debate these days. Many say the disappearance of the daily paper is just a matter of time. The future of journalism is in news websites, not newsprint. However, others say, newspapers have been with us for hundreds of years, and while all news may be online some day, papers can exist for some time. So who's right? I'll outline the arguments on both sides, and then you can decide. Newspapers Are Dead Newspapers are in trouble. Circulation is dropping, display and classified ad income is drying up, and the industry has experienced a hard time. Big metro papers like the Rocky Mountain News have stopped operating, and even bigger newspaper companies like the Tribune Co. go bankrupt . And where are newspaper readers going? To the Web. A recent study has found that Internet users read online newspapers for an average of 53 minutes per week in 2008. That's highest level recorded in the eight years when the study has been done. The study found that 22 percent of users said they stopped their subscription to a printed paper or magazine because they could access the same content online. Some people say the Internet is just a better place to get the news. "On the Web, newspapers are live, and they can supplement their coverage with audio, video, and the valuable resources of their vast contents," says Geffrey I. Cole, director of the Center for the Digital Future. Question: Some readers no longer buy printed newspapers because they _ . Options: A: want to save money B: hope to protect the environment C: don't care about news D: can read online newspapers
Ans: D

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article.

In Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province, which neighbors Zhejiang, five hospitals have been selected and ordered to be ready to treat H7N9 patients, though no cases have been reported there.

On Wednesday afternoon, the National Health and Family Planning Commission distributed prevention and control plans and technique directives to health institutions nationwide. "So far, the sources of infection have not been clear, but based on past experiences and recent epidemiological studies, the sources could be poultry or the secretion and excrement from poultry," according to the plan.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today. So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion , the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure , it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted. It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. _ . I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived. Question: The best title of this passage probably is _ . Options: A: Love your friends B: Live a real life C: Don't waste time D: Be a good mother and wife
Ans: B
