Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: The year 2006 was a busy one for space and technology workers. A planet lost its status and space flights caught the imagination of people around the world. The following is a short list of the major events of the year: _ IBM has built a chip that runs about 100 times faster than the ones we have now. The development could lead to faster computers. The chip was first made in June. It can run at a speed of 500 gigahertz . Pluto loses face The International Astronomical Union created the first scientific definition of the word "planet" in August. Under the new rules, Pluto is no longer called a planet but a "dwarf planet" . Pluto had been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. For now, there are only the eight "classical" planets in the solar system : They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Woman space tourist The first woman space tourist was launched on a Russian rocket from Kazakhstan on September 18. The flight carried a businesswoman, named Anousheh Ansari, along with a fresh crew for the International Space Station (ISS). Ansari is a 40-year-old American. She has paid at least US$20 million for the trip. She returned on September 28 after her eight-day stay at the International Space Station. Discovery sent up The US space shuttle Discovery took seven astronauts on a 12-day repair mission to the International Space Station on December 9. It was the first night launch by NASA in four years. The last one ended in the failure of the space shuttle Columbia in 2003. Question: Which of the following statements is WRONG? - Pluto is no longer a real planet according to the new theory. - People have been dreaming about space flight. - Anousheh Ansari was the first women space tourist. - The US space shuttle Discovery is the first one launched by NASA at night.
(Answer)
The US space shuttle Discovery is the first one launched by NASA at night.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Dyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area. They studied in the schools with kindergartens. And for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks. While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go. Question: What is the passage mainly about? - An effective way to identity Dyslexia at an early stage. - A learning disorder involving one's intelligence. - Dyslexia -- a problem affecting one's reading and writing. - A possible solution to the problems related to Dyslexia.
(Answer)
Dyslexia -- a problem affecting one's reading and writing.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Thousands of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal place of interest? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests", as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves. All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking "Traditions I". Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success. After passing "Traditions I", the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple and ordinary job, he replied, "What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds?...We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party." Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the mangers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail , and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly. All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one longtime business... Question: Why do managers working in Disney parks wear special service clothes in the park? - Because they want to set a good example for employees - Because they want to remind themselves of their beginnings at Disney - Because they want to gain a better view of the company's aims - Because they want to replace employees on holiday
(Answer)
Because they want to gain a better view of the company's aims
