It also means taking special steps to protect the environment--the water, the land, and the air we breathe. Why green? Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings.\nEvery day, people make choices that affect the amount of trash and pollution that gets produced in our world. What can you do? A whole lot, actually. Here's a four-step guide to being green:\nReduce the amount of stuff you use and throw away.\nReuse stuff when you can.\nRecycle cans, bottles, paper, books, and even toys, Sometimes water can be. For instance, some communities take used water - like from the washing machine and shower - and clean it up so it's safe to use for watering the grass and flowers.\nEnjoy the Earth - walk in the woods, plant a tree, and eat some of the delicious food it produces.\nHere's a list of other stuff you can reduce:\nClose the switches when you're not using lights.\nTurn off the water when you're brushing your teeth..\nWhen you can, walk or ride your bike instead of driving in the car. You'll use less gas - and get some exercise!\nTurn off for your phone and MP3 player when you're not using them.\nPut your computer to \"sleep\" instead of leaving it on with the screensaver running.\n\n<question>:\nAbout being green, which of the following is NOT true?\n\n<options>:\nA Reuse stuff when you can.\nB Enjoy walking in the woods.\nC Leave your computer on for long\nD Plant trees and enjoy their products.\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "C" } ]

School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?\nIf you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.\nTolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a _ and open mind.\nYou need to remember an old saying, \"Treat others how you want to be treated\". If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.\nIt is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.\n\n<question>:\nWhat is tolerance according to the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA Accept people as they are.\nB Believe you are always right.\nC Expect everybody to be the same.\nD Change yourself to please other people.\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "A" } ]
