The psychologists also say that without a dad,a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.\nA mother's love is important,and so is a father's love. Chen Mo,a psychology professor says,\"It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents.\"\n\n:\nWhy does it take both parents to raise a child?\n\n:\nA A child feels safer with both parents.\nB A child feels happier with both parents.\nC Both parents need to consider that children have different needs at different ages.\nD It is both the father's and the mother's duty to raise a child.\n\n:\n", "assistant": "C"}]} {"conversation_id": 39, "category": "race_middle", "conversation": [{"human": "Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.\n\n:\nA man has a bird.

Then he stood behind a tree,waiting and watching.\nSoon an old man came along with his cow. \"Who put this stone in the center of the road?\" said the old man, but he didn't try to move the stone away. He passed around the stone with some difficulties and continued on his way. Another man came along and did the same thing; then another came,and another. All of them complained about the stone in the center of the road,but nobody tried to move it.\nLate in the afternoon,a young man came along. He saw the stone and said, \"It will be dark at night. Some people will come along later in the dark and will fall over the stone and get hurt.\" The young man then began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled and tried everything he could to move it out of the road.

Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.\nPost-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.\nAround that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive that a workmate, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.\nA short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new \"bookmarks\" and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate.

It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.\nBack at home and at school, you can also do something, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again.

They want to ask people to use less disposable things.\nMany disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.\nBack at home and at school, you can also do something, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups.

What does that mean? Let's find out by meeting Louis Pasteur.\nLouis Pasteur was born in 1822 in a little town in France. As he grew up, he loved to paint. He loved to look at the world around him. When he went to college in Paris, he showed interest in looking through a microscope. A microscope makes things look a lot bigger; it lets you see things you can't see just with your eyes. Looking through a microscope, Pasteur found a living world in a drop of water. He saw and drew pictures of the small living things -- he called them \"microbes\" or \"germs\"-- that crowded in a drop of water.\nOne day a winemaker came into the lab, hoping that someone could help him with his problem. \"Sometimes my wine tastes delicious, but sometimes terrible,\" he said to Pasteur. \"Can you help me find out why?\"\nPasteur put some drops of the wine under the microscope.

What's the difference between fog and smog?\nAccording to scientists, fog is made up of tiny drops of water and also ice particles during very cold conditions. Smog is dirty air that looks like a mixture of smoke and fog, caused mainly by smoke from cars and factories in cities.\nAn official for the Ministry of Environmental Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the main problem with air pollution. PM 2.5 refers to pollution with small particles 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter .\nAccording to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, two main factors that cause PM 2.5 are motor vehicles and the burning of coal.\nPoor air has done harm to people's health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing Children's Hospital shows that from January 5 to January 11, 2013, half of the patients in the hospital came for respiratory problems.\nTo respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take action.\nBeijing announced a plan to use clean fuel in government vehicles and plant trees. It asked citizens to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebration. They suggested that cars with large emissions should be banned and factories should be closely watched.\nThree students from No. 4 High School in Beijing wrote a report to advise to fight the air pollution. \"We hope more people will join us to protect our environment. With all our efforts, the blue skies will certainly return soon,\" said Shi Yucong, 15, one of the three students.\n\n:\nWhat is the best title for the passage?\n\n:\nA A report about air pollution\nB Let's fight the air pollution\nC Dirty air is bad for us\nD The air in Beijing\n\n:\n", "assistant": "B"}]} {"conversation_id": 436, "category": "race_middle", "conversation": [{"human": "Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.\n\n:\nMotor cars were first made in England just before 1900.

The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.\"\nThe wise man then gave an example: \"What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don't need to talk. They only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.\"\nHe looked at his students and said: \"So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.\"\n\n:\nWhat's the topic of the passage?\n\n:\nA Shouting is bad.\nB Don't shout.\nC Cover the distance with love.\nD The distance of love.\n\n:\n", "assistant": "C"}]} {"conversation_id": 460, "category": "race_middle", "conversation": [{"human": "Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.\n\n:\nSome people have a very poor sense of direction.

Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures . He runs away with his friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally they find a box of gold.\nMy favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his town funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.\nTom is the hero of the story, but there are another important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him . Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.\nThe theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behavior.\nWhy do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it's only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19thcentury, so it sounds very real. Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.

Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures . He runs away with his friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally they find a box of gold.\nMy favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his town funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.\nTom is the hero of the story, but there are another important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him . Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.\nThe theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behavior.\nWhy do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it's only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19thcentury, so it sounds very real. Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.

To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.\nIn the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.\nIn daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.\nIn the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.\nBlessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.

However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.\nLuckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.\nWhile that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ides is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons - the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use.

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it's because we have mirror neurons in our brains.\nPut simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions,they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.\nMirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains,but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages,and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: \"The hand took hold of the ball\"), the same mirror neurons were _ as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).\nAny problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning . However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.\nResearch into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together.

Some of the books show the similarities and differences in ways of life around the world. They will enable children to have a better understanding of other people's cultures. People working for this project have tried to design easy ways to search the collection and read the books. A picture of each page appears on the computer. Users can also print the pages on paper if they want to.\nThe project is for two main groups of users. The first group is children between the ages of three and thirteen, along with their teachers and parents. The second group is researchers of children's literature .

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds--as short as the blink of an eye--is too long for most Internet users.\nA millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. \"Without question, nobody likes to wait,\" said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. \"Every millisecond matters.\"\nNowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are continually gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital \"traffic jams\". Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.\nGoogle found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest. Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result.\nEven so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.\nTrying to get a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet. In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the \"World Wide Wait\". But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions.

Peer pressure is the influence that people of the same age have on one another.\nSometimes your peers influence you in a helpful or positive way. A friend may notice that you have problems in math. And he might invite you to join a study group or show you how to solve a difficult problem during lunch. Such actions are helpful to you.\nSometimes your peers influence you in a _ or unhealthy way. A friend might offer you cigarettes .Cigarettes are harmful to your health. Your friend knows that. Your friend also knows that underage smoking is against the law. Yet he or she still makes the offer. This bad influence is negative peer pressure.\nYour peers may not always realize they are influencing you in a negative way. For example. a friend might invite you to the movies. You would love to go, but you have a lot of housework to do. In situations like this you should make a wise decision.\nYou can learn to deal with negative peer pressure. Keep away from people who try to influence your behavior in harmful ways. Though it is not always easy to say no, it's really necessary to learn to do that. Follow the following steps. First. look at the person and say no in a firm but polite voice. Make sure your face shows that you are serious. Let the person know you will not back down. Then, give reasons for saying no. Explain why you won't do what the person wants. Remember to say goodbye and walk away if he or she continues.\n\n:\nWhich sentence shows the writer's opinion?\n\n:\nA Peer pressure is the influence that people of the same age have on one another.\nB We should learn to deal with negative peer pressure.\nC It's not always important to say no to your peers.\nD Peers include your friends and your classmates.\n\n:\n", "assistant": "B"}]} {"conversation_id": 865, "category": "race_middle", "conversation": [{"human": "Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.\n\n:\nIt is a cold and dry winter morning.

Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.\nIt isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say 'no' to something attractive, However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.\nScientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.\nIn one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.\nYears later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.\nBut there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology professor told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles. Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control if we do it regularly.\nYou could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.\nLike muscles, willpower can 'get tired'. Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.\n\n:\nThe example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to _ .\n\n:\nA prove that girls have weak willpower\nB introduce the topic of willpower to the readers\nC show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls\nD show the connection between willpower and success\n\n:\n", "assistant": "B"}]} {"conversation_id": 925, "category": "race_middle", "conversation": [{"human": "Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.\n\n:\nSaying no starts small\n'All right then-just one more piece...'

Scientists mark one molecule \"A\" and the other molecules \"B\". According to which and how many molecules are on the red cell, scientists divide blood into four types: A, B, AB and O.\nScientists have been wondering if there are some links between people's blood types and their personalities, but they don't know for sure yet.\nBut some say that people with the same blood type may have things in common.\nPeople with type A: They look peaceful from the outside. But they ask too much of themselves so that they may be very nervous inside. They get happy or sad easily. Sometimes they are shy but always very careful.

It may take a long time to find clean energy, such as wind energy. It may take a long time to plant the trees again we are cutting down. But every little thing each person can do to save energy and our forests will help. Think about our planet. Think about ways we can help make the Earth a safe and comfortable place for the future.\n\n:\nWhich is the best title of this passage?\n\n:\nA Why is the Earth warming up\nB When can we stop the Earth from warming up\nC How can we stop the Earth getting warmer\nD How long will it take to stop the Earth getting warmer\n\n:\n", "assistant": "C"}]} {"conversation_id": 1114, "category": "race_middle", "conversation": [{"human": "Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.\n\n:\nPeople sometimes say, \"It's raining cats and dogs!\" when there is a heavy rain.

Why do people travel? \"To see more of the world,\" many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good opportunities to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.\nAccording to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people travelled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. The prosperity of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits . Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.\nChinese people don't just travel for sightseeing. The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travellers.\nIn December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.\nThe improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don't have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world's second worst tourists.\nIf you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas.

Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are many advertisements which are very interesting and popular.

Fred and his sister, Adele, learned to dance when they were very young. Their mother took them to New York to study dance. They performed in their first professional show when Fred was ten years old and Adele was twelve. Later, as teenagers, the two danced in many shows throughout the United States. Their first big success was on Broadway in 1917.\nThe Astaires -- as they were known --- became Broadway stars. However, in 1932, Adele Astaire married a British man, and stopped performing. But Fred did not give up his dream. He would go on alone, in the movies.\nFred said, \"Dancing is a sweaty job. You cannot just sit down and do it. You have to get up on your feet. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable. I always try to get to know my dance so well that I do not have to think.\"\nIn 1949, Fred Astaire won a special award for his film work from America's Motion Picture Academy. He also won awards from the television industry for a number of his television programs.[:ZXXK]\nFred stopped dancing in 1970. He was more than seventy years old at the time. He said a dancer could not continue dancing forever. He said he did not want to disappoint anyone, even himself. He danced again in public only once after that. It was with another great male dancer, Gene Kelly, in the movie \"That's Entertainment, Part Two\".\nFred Astaire and his first wife, Phyllis, had three children. Phyllis died in 1954. Twenty-five years later, Fred married race horse rider Robyn Smith. Fred Astaire died on June 22, 1987. He was eighty-eight years old. He was called the greatest dancer in the world. His dancing was called perfect. And moviegoers everywhere will remember him as a great performer whose work will live forever in his films.\n\n:\nWhen did the Astaires become Broadway stars?\n\n:\nA In 1899.\nB In 1917.\nC In 1932.\nD In 1949.\n\n:\n", "assistant": "B"}]} {"conversation_id": 1399, "category": "race_middle", "conversation": [{"human": "Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.\n\n:\nMike is standing in front of the blackboard and speaking like a teacher.

Twain (1835-1910). Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhome Clemens, but how many know where the pen name \"Mark Twain\" came from?\nThe answer shows Clemens' colorful early life before he became a writer. \"Mark Twain\" was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms (6 feet) deep. \"Twain\" is an old-fashioned way of saying \"two\". Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humourousLife on the Mississippi (1883).\nThe famous river would become an important theme in many of his works--who could forget the journey of the Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book.

There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.\nOn the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers.
