"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<passage>:\nGood morning, boys and girls. Today I'll talk about going online.\nWe know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer and can get more information from the Internet. We can learn English. We can read some good newspapers and magazines. It can make us clever in playing computer games. We can send e-mails to our friends quickly. We can chat freely online with our friends. It can help us to get in touch with people from all over the world.\nBut every coin has two sides. Net bars also bring us a lot of trouble. For example, some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online, so they do worse and worse in their lessons and they don't study well any more. I think we mustn't get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays or at the weekend.\nAt the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some out-of-class activities at school. We usually have activities from4' 50 to 5- 50 in the afternoon. We can play basketball or football on Monday or Thursday afternoon. We can join some interests groups in school, such as drawing or reading on Tuesday afternoon, or singing and dancing on Wednesday afternoon. We can go to the English Corner on Friday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities.\n\n<question>:\nIf you are free on Tuesday afternoon, what out-of-class activities can you have at school?\n\n<options>:\nA Playing basketball or football.\nB Singing and dancing.\nC Drawing or reading.\nD Going to the English Corner.\n\n<answer>:\n",

"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<passage>:\nIt's very early in the morning and I'm sitting outside. It's also very cold and dark. With me is Jim Nightingale, and he is the reason I'm up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. \"Not long to wait now,\" he says. I hope he's right.\nAfter a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud and very clear. \"That's the robin ,\" says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names of them too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and it's very loud! Suddenly, all around us the air is full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus , and it's beautiful.\n\"Wow, this is amazing!\" I tell Jim, who is smiling. \"Is there a dawn chorus every morning?\"\n\"Birds can sing any time of the year but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when the birds sing most.\"\n\"Really? So, why do they sing?\" I ask.\n\"Well, there are two reasons,\" explains Jim. \"Most of the songbirds who sing are males. They want to find a female so they sing to show how strong they are. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tell other males to go away. They need their own area; they don't like sharing with another male.\"\nI listen to the birds; the songs seem too much to me. \"Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?\"\n\"That's a good question,\" replied Jim. \"The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes they copy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males stay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds, for example the European wren, have songs that contain over 700 different notes per minute!\"\nSo, how does Jim know so much about birds? Well, he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. \"More and more of the birds' habitat disappears every year. The sparrow, for example, was a very common bird in the UK, now it's in danger.\"\nBy now the sun is up and the birds are quiet. It's light so they can start looking for food, they need a big breakfast after all that singing.\n\n<question>:\nThe text is mainly about _ .\n\n<options>:\nA the robin's songs\nB the birds' habitat\nC why birds sing\nD how to protect birds\n\n<answer>:\n",

But as I chose add read, and chose add read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to you.\nYou'll soon be 84 years old, Dad,and you and I will have had 56 Father's Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn't realize at once that it was you because _ who was driving looked so elderly.\nFifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we'll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, dad ... I don't like carrots.... but I like planting them with you.\nI guess what am trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home, money or shares a dinner. It's more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won't listen to anyone. It's about sharing. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and I wish that it would never end.\nLover,\nJenny\n\n<question>:\nWhere did Jenny go today?\n\n<options>:\nA A garden.\nB A shopping center.\nC A cinema.\nD A hospital.\n\n<answer>:\n",

But as I chose add read, and chose add read again, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to you.\nYou'll soon be 84 years old, Dad,and you and I will have had 56 Father's Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn't realize at once that it was you because _ who was driving looked so elderly.\nFifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we'll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, dad ... I don't like carrots.... but I like planting them with you.\nI guess what am trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today.

You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these \"new\" worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going to a new school.\nMost teachers kick\nthe new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Please pay close attention.\nYou might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't. Make the first move and you'll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!\nSeeing friends you haven't seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers . It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you'll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don't have time in the morning.\n\n<question>:\nAccording to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except _ .\n\n<options>:\nA introduce yourself\nB learn about the school rules\nC make new friends\nD go over your new lessons\n\n<answer>:\n",
