Prof Roger Wotton, from University College London, found that flight would be impossible for angels with arms and bird-like feathered wings. "Angels cannot take off and cannot use powered flight," said Prof Wotton. "They would need to be exposed to very high wind velocities at take off - such high winds that they would be blown away." Some the world's most famous religious paintings and architecture make most Americans believe in angels. The study found that 68 per cent of the 36,000 adults thought that angels and demons were at work in the world. According to the latest study, angels lack the powerful muscles which allow birds to beat their wings. Prof Wotton's paper explores why there are so many stories about angels. "Angels are very powerful religious icons for people with faith. Their similarity to humans adds to their power. At the same time, they have wings on them because they are more than human. They take messages to heaven and therefore have to fly." said the academic. Question: What did the leading biologist find? Options: A: The angels and fairies are very powerful. B: It's impossible for angels and fairies to fly. C: The flight would be possible for angels with arms and bird-like feathered wings. D: The angels and fairies can sit on the tree under their own power.

Ques: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Tyler was a troublesome student. He sat in the back row. Every time I called him to answer questions, he'd reply with a flip answer. If he got it wrong, he would get very angry. Usually kids could sit quietly in class. However, Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, "Tyler, why not join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?" He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and shouted something I can't remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week's out-of-school punishment. The week was a wonderful time for me, but when it came to an end, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan. On the day of his return, I told him I wanted to start over with him. If he felt like he was going to lose control in class, he could step outside the door for a moment. From then on, Tyler was a changed student in my classroom. In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day. And he never used the privilege to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just letting him decide for himself made all the difference. When the year was over, he wrote me a thank-you note about how good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very moving to reread when I get stressed about teaching. Question: The passage is mainly about _ . Options: A: how Tyler got the punishment B: how Tyler changed to be a good student C: how the teacher dealt with Tyler's return D: how the teacher felt about Tyler's thank-you note
Ans: B
