Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries. For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim. They want to introduce industries, and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution. Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants . The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment and the bad effects can be clearly seen. Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places. It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, has laws against pollution, but these laws are not enforced strictly enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers. However, the responsibility does not completely lie with the Brazilian government. The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either. A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely punished or even put out of business.
A: Question: Why don't developing countries have strict pollution controls?Options:A The new industries they want to introduce do not cause much pollution.B Pollution is not a serious problem for developing countries.C They don't realize the balance of nature will be destroyed by some pollutants.D If they put stricter controls on industry, fewer companies would build new plants in developing countries.Answer:D

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: More than half of teachers in a UK survey said they thought _ from the Internet is a problem. Some students who steal essays wholly from the Web, they said, are so lazy they don't even bother to take the ads off the cut-and-pasted text. 58 percent of the teachers interviewed in the Association of Teachers and Lectures(ALT) questionnaire had come across plagiarism among their pupils. Gill Bullen from Itchen College in Southampton, for example, said pieces handed in by two students were the same and significantly better than either of them could have done." "Not only that, the essays given in didn't quite answer the title question I had set." A teacher from Leeds said, " I had one piece of work so obviously 'cut and pasted' that it still contained ads from the Web page" Connie Robinson from Stockton Riverside College, Stockton, said, " With less able students, it is easy to spot plagiarism as the writing style changes mid-assignment, but with more able students, it is sometimes necessary for teachers to carry out Internet research to find out the source of the plagiarism." Mary Bousted, general secretary of the ALT, said, "Teachers are struggling under a mountain of cut-and-pasting to spot whether work was the student's own or plagiarism." She called for strong policies to oppose plagiarism, and asked for help from the government in providing resources and techniques to delete cheats.
A: Question: According to Mary Bousted, we can learn that _ .Options:A the government doesn't complete its duty to stop plagiarismB it's very easy for teachers to spot plagiarismC plagiarism causes the teachers great troubleD only the government can find cheatsAnswer:C

Q: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often. That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation, nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates--one for you and the other for your wife. You w ill never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son." At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time 'I love YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve because these things cannot be put off till some "other" time.
A: Question: The author of the passage tends to agree that _ .Options:A family should be as important as workB work is more important than familyC we can show our love till some other timeD we should spend more time with our familyAnswer:D
