I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Mary Allen was my best friend- like the sister I ever had. We did everything together : piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding. When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters and we saw each other on special occasions- like my wedding and Mary's. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped "Address Unknown". Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sorrow when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill. One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman- Mary's married name. "There must be thousands of Wagman. "I thought, but I wrote to her anyway. She called as soon as she got my letter. "Mrs Tobin!"she said excitedly. "Mary Allen Wagman "is my mother. Minutes later I heard a voice that was recognized instantly, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each others lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And theres one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We don't lose each other again. Question: The best title of the passage is _ Options: A: My Good Friend B: Friend Again- Forever C: An Important Friend D: Friends Like the brother

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Everyone is born with their own built-in burglar alarms, called the sense of sight and sound.Unluckily, many of us go around with the alarm turned off. We don't see the stranger wandering outside the house next door. We don't notice the sounds from the flat upstairs. (Weren't they supposed to be on holiday?) The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars,the vandals , and the car thieves. Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It'll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals. But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community, for instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could. A stranger in someone's garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look-out. That's the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police. It's early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you. Question: The advertisement points out that many people _ . Options: A: are not ready to help the police B: are not as watchful as they could be C: don't look after their gardens well D: don't tell their neighbors about their holidays

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish. The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States , with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year . But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces. During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age , high blood pressure , or blood cholesterol levels . Question: How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study? Options: A: 550, 000. B: 110,000. C: 275,000. D: 852.
