Article: If you feel at present that you don't have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship require effort and commitment(,,). Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don't get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have. Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry! Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could depend on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life? If you haven't seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument? If the main reason you haven't been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want? If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material joys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say ''No" to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be _ o others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you? Examine whether the way you are now spending your time exactly reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule enough time for the things that are truly most important to you. If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: There comes a time in a person's life when they may realize that their laundry is just not coming out the way that they had hoped for. The whites may not be getting white enough or the color1s might be fading. This can cause you more money if you don't know how to properly do your laundry. These tips are lifesaving tips when it comes to washing your dirty clothes. If you have a habit of throwing all your clothes into the washing machine together, you need to stop now. Washing your clothes in the same load will only cause them to fade onto each other or not become as clean as they could. To save you lots of time, try buying a laundry sorter so that your clothes are already sorted and ready to be throne into the washing machine. Another great advice would be to read the labels on the back of the clothing. The labels are there for a reason and this could help to save you a lot of money in the long run. It makes sense not to wash something in warm water when it specifically says to wash in cold water, if you did you could end up with a shrunken sweater. There are basically five groups that your laundry should be sorted into; whites, lights, darks, bright color1ed clothes, and delicates. The whites are basically anything white like your undergarments and t-shirts. Try not to get the whites and the lights confused. The light color1ed clothes are those that can be white, striped, off-whites, pastels, cream color1ed, etc. Dark clothes are those including blacks, blues, and browns. The reason that this is important is because dark clothes tend to fade onto other clothes and there are also special products like Woolite Dark that you can buy to keep them from fading. It just makes sense to wash these separately. The bright clothes are those that are red, yellow, orange, green, florescent, etc. These clothes can make your other clothes turn color1s. Question: The writer informs us of five groups of colours in order to _ . - let people learn to choose their clothes - persuade people to buy clothes of different colours - advise people to do their laundry separately - show off his/her experience and knowledge
(A).
advise people to do their laundry separately

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: People with bigger brains ftend to score higher on standardized tests of intelligence, according to new study findings. However, the study author Dr Michael A.McDaniel of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond emphasized that these findings represent a general trend, and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance, Albert Einstein's brain was "not particularly large", McDaniel noted. "There's some relationship between brain size and intelligence on the average, but there's plenty of room for exceptions," he said. Interest in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the1830s, when German anatomist Frederich Tiedmann wrote that he believed there was "an unquestionable connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man". Since that statement, scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tiedmann's assertion was, in fact, correct. Most studies have looked into the link between head size and intelligence. More recently, however, researchers have published additional studies on brain size and intelligence, measured using MRI scan . For his study, McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that looked into the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on the average, people with larger brain volume tended to be more intelligent. The relationship between brain volume and intelligence was stronger in women than men, and in adults than in children. McDaniel notes in the journal Intelligence. McDaniel is not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women. "Other research has shown that women, on the average, tend to have smaller brains than men, but score just as well--if not higher--in tests of intelligence," he said. McDaniel insisted that the relationship between brain size and intelligence is not a "perfect" one. "One can certainly find lots of examples of smaller-sized people who are highly intelligent," he... Question: After Frederich Tiedmann wrote his article, _ . - many scientists agreed with him - numerous studies have failed to prove his idea - MRI scan became popularly used - lots of researchers were interested in the connections between head size and intelligence
(A).
