I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Jasmine Meyers had the last laugh when the ocean swallowed her SUV Monday morning and brought it up an hour later, damaged, on the beach. Meyers was staying in Campbell River's Eagles Nest Motel during the wild storm that attacked the east coast of Vancouver Island early this week. "We woke up to my mom screaming 'Your car! Your car! Your car's about to go in the water,'"she said Wednesday. She'd parked her car in the hotel's parking lot that she described as a sort of a sea wall. The storm that swept throughout coastal areas hit extra hard in the Campbell River area. At about 8:30 am the bank below the parking lot gave way. Huge waves caught hold of the Toyota and took it into the water. Her mother took pictures while the terrible waves pulled the car out to sea. Then Meyers and her family members could only watch helplessly as the car was struck and pushed around in front of the hotel. "It floated around out there for about an hour." Then the ocean spit the car back up on the beach. Meyers said it sat there until Wednesday, when a tow truck finally recovered the destroyed car. That's the crazy part of the story. The fun part is what happened next. "I went mad," said Meyers. "I didn't cry because I knew that I had insurance, but I went mad and I didn't know what to do." Yeah, insurance: not just insurance, but replacement insurance. "Replacement insurance only ever lasts for three years,"said Meyers. "Mine ends on Nov.22 I would have been crying if it had been 10 days later." Question: What can be inferred from the passage? Options: A: Jasmine is very brave. B: The car is very expensive C: The mother enjoys taking pictures D: The insurance company will pay for Jasmine's loss

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The Smurfs --cute little blue cartoon dwarfs inspired by Nordic fairy tales made their first TV appearance in the US in 1981 and ever since have been childhood friends to many people across. The storyline is quite simple. The Smurfs are living happily in their mushroom houses in the middle of a forest.Then one day the evil wizard Gargamel discovers their village and sends them by magic to present-day New York City. The Smurfs have to find their way home and conquer Gargamel along the way. So, just why, more than half a century later, is the simple story still so beloved by young and old? Mario Cacciolotto, a BBC reporter, believes it is due to the fact that the Smurfs' lives do not have any particular cultural implication and argues that they could offer a model for society. Veronique Culliford, daughter of the Smurfs' creator Pierre Culliford, agrees."They are unique creations," she says, "They do not do politics or religion.They are multi-cultural and everybody around the world can recognize themselves in the Smurfs.Everyone can apply their very nice values of friendship, kindness and helping others to their own lives, regardless of where they come from". In the Smurf world , everyone has their own skill and is willing to use it for the benefit of others without expecting any reward.Their village is run as a collective and has no form of currency. This has even led to debates about whether the artist intended the Smurfs as a metaphor for socialism. "The series wasn't just about sweet-looking dwarfs," said Alan Mechem of the British Smurf Collectors Club.He thought that Culliford wanted it to show things like equality and tolerance. Question: What is the main point of the passage? Options: A: The history and background of the Smurfs stories. B: Introducing the Smurfs and people's opinions. C: The story of Pierre Culliford and his Smurfs cartoons. D: Socialism and women' s rights hidden in the Smurfs.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: "Hey, don't read in the hallway. Your eyesight will be damaged." You must have heard such warnings many times. Don't read in dim light! This is one of the "pearls of wisdom" that are supposed to help us live a healthy life. Such common beliefs, however, lack scientific basis, according to a paper published recently in theBritish Medical Journal. Do you believe in the following everyday wisdom? Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight. In dim light, you might blink more, feel discomfort from drying and have trouble focusing. But the majority of eye experts believe it is unlikely to do any permanent damage. We must drink at least eight glasses of water a day In 1945, the Nutrition Council in US suggested that people need to consume 2.5 litres of water a day. But the water contained in food, particularly fruit and vegetables, as well as in milk, juice and soft drinks, also counts towards the total. We only use 10 percent of our brains. This myth arose as early as 1907. People have long argued about our power of self-improvement and our brains' potential abilities. But detailed imaging shows that no area of the brain is silent or inactive. Shaving your legs causes hair to grow black faster and thicker. This theory is also illusion. Shaving has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair growth, studies say. Just over time, the edge of hair gets worn away and thus the edge of long hair becomes finer . So hair that is newly grown gives the impression of darkness. Question: This passage is most likely to be found in _ ?
