TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you're given an article, a question which often contains a blank, four options (associated with "A", "B", "C", "D") and the answer to that question. Your task is to classify whether the given answer is correct or not by providing "Yes" or "No", based on the article.
PROBLEM: Article: Imagine you are standing on the 70thfloor of the Empire State Building, staring at the cityscape. Suddenly a man pushes past you, opens the window and announces his intention to jump. You yell out, "Stop! Don't do it!" the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly says, "Try to stop me and I'll take you with me!" "Umm... No problem, sir. have a good trip. any last words?" "Let me tell you my troubles," he says, "my wife left me, my kids won't talk to me, I lost my job and my pet turtle died, so why should I go on living?" Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration. "Sir, close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind. No colors, no sights of children playing, no fields of flowers, no sunset. Now imagine that suddenly there's a miracle. You open your eyes and your vision is restored! Are you going to jump? Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights?" "I'll stay for a week." "But what happened to all the troubles?" "I guess they're not so bad. I can see!" " _ " If you really appreciate your eyesight, the other pains are insignificant. But if you take it all for granted, then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy. Actually, there are misconceptions on the road to happiness. misconception1: "Once I know the tools for being happy, then it will work like magic." Don't expect the results to come automatically. It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness, yet not put it into practice. In fact, many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy, rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits. Just as learning any new skill requires effort, you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness. Misconception 2: "if I become content and satisfied with what I have, I'll lose my motivation to achieve more." Now ask someone who is depressed, "Let's go fishing!" "I'm tired. Maybe tomorrow. And anyway, I might rain..." in reality, happy people are energetic and ambitious. There's never enough time to do everything they want to do. Misconception 3: A beautiful Sunday afternoon, you're in the park having a picnic with friends. Suddenly one person complains: "who forgot the forks? It's too hot for volleyball. I want to go home already." When our mood negatively affects others, we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun. But what about when we're at home with our family? Or when we go into the office on Monday morning? like an open pit in the middle of the road, a sourpuss is a public danger. Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us.
Question: The story is placed at the beginning of the passage in order to _ .
Options: (A) tell a skill of persuasion (B) warn the danger of standing on a tall building (C) emphasize the importance of eyesight (D) introduce the theme of the passage
Asnwer: D

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Article: "I would almost rather see you dead," Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady's family ranked among the best of Philadelphia's social families, such an idea could not even be considered. That was how Mary Cassatt, born in 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father's anger. Instead, she opposed him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance , she became America's most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.
Question: How did Mr Cassatt react when his daughter made her announcement?
Options: (A) He feared for her life. (B) He warned her. (C) He nearly killed her. (D) He was very angry.
Asnwer: D

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: Article: During the outbreak of 2009-2010 H1N1 or "swine flu", the same virus that caused mild coughing and sneezing in some patients proved deadly for others. It highlighted a medical mystery: why are some people more fit to handle the flu than others? British and American researchers think they have a clue. Reporting on Sunday in the journal Nature, researchers say they've found a gene that influences our ability to fight against flu illness. The gene, called IFITM3, is the "important first line of defense" against the flu, researcher Paul Kellam of Britain's Sanger Institute told Reuters. The IFITM3 protein prevents flu viruses from reproducing in cells. So, if you have a high amount of IFITM3, you're in luck, since it weakens the spread of the virus; a low amount can lead to more rapid viral reproduction, causing severe flu symptoms, according to Kellam. Scientists first found in gene studies that IFITM3 played a role in resistance to flu and other viruses. In experiments in mice, they showed that when mice were raised to lack the IFITM3 gene and then infected with influenza, the animals developed more severe lung infection from flu, compared with mice that had the gene. To figure out the role of IFTTM3 in humans, researchers then studied the IFITM3 genes of 53 patients with the flu in 2009-2010. They found that these patients were more likely to have a variant of the IFITM3 gene -- which makes people more vulnerable to flu -- compared with the general population. According to evidence from large genetic databases, about 1 in 400 people carries this IFITM3 variant, the BBC reports. "Our research is important for people who have this variant as we predict their immune defenses could be weakened to some virus infections," said Kellam. The Findings also suggest that a drug that functions as IFITM3 could help increase resistance to flu and other viruses, including deadly ones like H5N1 flu.
Question: You are less likely to get infected with H1N1 if _
Options: (A) a variant of EFIM3 is produced (B) the immune system is weakened (C) protein doesn't function in your cells (D) you have a high amounts of IFITM3
Asnwer: C

SOLUTION:
No
