Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cochran, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School, did something unforgettable. On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom. The kids came into the first period. They walked in, and there were no desks. They looked around and said, "Ms Cochran, where are our desks?" And she said, "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them." They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades." "No," she said. "Maybe it's our behavior. " And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior. " Second period, the same thing. Third period... By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochran's class to find out about this crazy teacher. The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom." she said, "Now I'm going to tell you. " Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And when they finished placing those desks, those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks. Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it! " Options: A Because she wanted to punish the kids. B Because she wanted to let kids know how they earned the desks. C Because kids didn't need any desks at her classes. D Because the desks were all broken. Answer: B Because she wanted to let kids know how they earned the desks. Question:
Ans: Why did Cochran take all the desks out of the classroom?

Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: As the labor market becomes more attractive, more companies are sending their employees to school. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees - which for decades has been a part of many business' benefits packages - as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent. And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed, many see it as a positive - although gradual - movement. "For workers, it gives them a better opportunity for development," says Colleen Flaherty Manchester, a professor. "For firms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over, and thus have a higher level of retention ." In all, 56 percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52 percent offer graduate assistance. Largely driving the trend are Millennials, who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing. Nearly 60 percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises. Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace. They recognize that they need more experience, more knowledge, more mentoring to be successful. And they're asking for _ . Of more than 140,000 Starbucks employees, only about 4,000 have signed up for the company's College Achievement Plan. What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies' retention and turnover rates remain unclear. But, the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses. We're going to see a lot more of this in the future. Options: A It is merely beneficial to employees B It is a win-win event for employees and employers. C Valuing education has become a trend for all companies. D It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees. Answer: B It is a win-win event for employees and employers. Question:
Ans: What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said?

Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Right now in China, talks on the street have been about the strange weather and it's raising a lot of concerns. A heavy haze has blanketed many cities in the northern and southern parts of the country in part of an unusual weather system that's descended on the nation. The haze stretches over a vast area, from Hebei and Shan-dong Provinces in the north all the way to Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan and Fujian provinces in the south. At its worst, the smog is reducing visibility to less than 200 meters and disrupting traffic, both on the ground and in the air. The weather front has also led many to worry about the possible health impacts. Many cities are waking up to another day covered by a dense haze. In Beijing, drivers have to keep their lights on even though it's already past eight o'clock in the morning. Even driving at very slow speeds, the roads can still be very dangerous. In some of the worst hit areas, drivers can't even tell the colors of traffic signals. Authorities have stepped in to close off many highways across the troubled region. In Shandong Province, the highways that are open are backed up for miles. And traffic police have stepped up their patrols. In the region's airports, flights information boards have gone red. A huge number of flights have been delayed or cancelled, nearly three hundred in Beijing alone, leaving thousands of passengers stranded. Some are more frustrated than impatient. Passenger from Jinan airport, Shangdong province, said: "I've been waiting for more than five hours. It's Mother Nature, so there's really nothing we can do." The airport is urging passengers to confirm with their carrier whether their flight will still take off as scheduled. Back on the city streets, people are wearing breathing masks to get free from any ill effects. Fog has cleared a little in Shanghai. But damage has already been done. Shanghai resident said: "I've been wearing the mask, but still, my throat feels sour and itchy. I think it's because of the weather." The weather forecast predicts... Options: A Only a small part of China suffered the haze. B Many highways were blocked up C All the flights were delayed or cancelled D The bad weather would last another few days Answer: C All the flights were delayed or cancelled Question:
Ans: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
