Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Give this memory test a try. Mix up 52 playing cards. Now look at the top seven for a second. Can you remember them in order? Players at the World Memory Championships can. In fact, the 2002 champion  , Andi, memorized the order of 1196 cards after looking at them for only an hour! And a German girl, Lara, only ten years old, memorized 75 faces and names in fifteen minutes! In 1987, a Japanese man, Mr. Tomoyori, wanted to prove that his memory was the best in the world by remembering by heart pi (p), a number in math which starts 3.14159...This number never repeats itself or ends. He recited pi to 40,000 decimal places  . It took the fifty-five-year-old man more than twelve hours to say the numbers, but he did it without making a mistake! To remember pi, Mr. Tomoyori connected each number with a sound. He then made up stories to help him remember the words he made from the sounds. In an interview after his achievement, he said, "I decided to go ahead and memorize the value of pi up to one thousand places. But it wasn't easy - in fact, it took me three years. To get to 40,000 decimal places it took me about ten years." Unluckily for Mr. Tomoyori, his record was broken in 1995, when another Japanese man, Mr. Goto, memorized pi to 42,195 places. Question: Why was Lara's success special? Options: A: She was just a little girl. B: She was the 2002 champion. C: She was from Germany. D: She remembered more words.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A letter of reply is sometimes a most treasured thing. Here is a story that tells about this common and natural human feeling. The busiest woman in Labrador during one bitter cold Christmas not very long ago, was an Australian nurse named Kate Austen. But Nurse Austen was not too busy to write with a long, friendly letter for every gift of food or clothing received for poor villagers in the north of Australian. Among the gifts was a box of knittings   for children, knitted and sent by a woman in Toronto. Nurse Austen, was busy, and not feeling too well that winter. She could have written just ordinary routine notes of acknowledgement. But that was not her way. She sat down and wrote the woman in Toronto a real letter telling all about the village, and the names of the children who were wearing the knitted gloves and caps, and what they said when they got them, and how they looked when they wore them. She wanted the woman who had knitted and sent all those lovely knittings "to see how much happiness and warmth she had created." Not long after, she received the following answer from Canada. Dear Miss Austen, Your letter made me happy. I did not expect such a full return, I am eighty years old, and I am blind. There is little I can do expect knit, and that is why I knit so many caps and sweaters scarves. For sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or book as I could collect. But never before in all that time have I had a personal letter picturing the village and telling me who is wearing the clothing and what they said. I did not suppose that ever in my lifetime I should receive a letter like that. My God bless you. Sincerely yours,                                                                  Laura N. Russell ,. Question: According to the passage, a letter of reply is not  _  . Options: A: a common thing B: a treasured thing C: a natural thing D: a boring thing

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A wild baby bison   at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists. The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold. They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger   station. A ranger described the action of the tourists as a "dangerous move" because adult bisons can look after their babies very well and they will attack   to protect their young. Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free. But, sadly, the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans. Yellowstone National Park explained on Facebook that the smell from people can cause parent animals to refuse to accept their young. The park tried again and again to make the baby bison lives with its parents. After several times they had to give up. Many people expressed anger at both the tourists and the park. The park said that they did not have the ability to care for a young bison. They also said that it is "not the task of the park to save animals". The tourists were fined   $110 for touching park wildlife. Park rules say that visitors to Yellowstone should stay at least 22 meters away from all wildlife, and at least 90 meters away from bears and wolves. One ranger said that Yellowstone recently added many safety signs that say staying near the wildlife there is dangerous to humans and animals as well. Those signs are written in English and other languages. Question: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? Options: A: The park refused to send the baby bison back. B: The visitors saved the baby bison. C: Many people are angry at the bison family. D: The smell from humans may bring trouble to bisons.
