The results showed that people in a bad mood were less likely to believe that these things were true.\nPeople in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when they were asked to remember the things that they saw.\nThe study also showed that sad people were better at talking about their thoughts in written style.

My dog, Ricky, begins to shake long before the storm is close enough to be noticed. I was about to feed my three dogs yesterday and as usual, I let them out in the yard first. They didn't move when thunder came across the skies. So I placed their food in their bowls and called Ricky into the kitchen.\nRicky was just standing there in place next to his bowl. The thunder became louder, which forced him to stop eating his meal. Then I watched Phil. He made his way across the kitchen floor and stood over Ricky's bowl. He ate all the remaining food. Generally, if Ricky was standing there, he wouldn't dare come close. But today, he took advantage of the storm and got what he wanted. His hope for the prize outweighed his fear of the storm.\nThat's when it hit me. As men, we face all kinds of storms. They come in unannounced. Sometimes we stay in a corner or under the blankets, hoping it will all pass. However, if you dare put your head out, you'll discover there're people doing what they must to get what they must have out of life.

"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>:\n\"Hello\"-it's one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it's one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That's regrettable , because saying hello is more than just saying hello-it is the respect of another's worth. How might the world change-how might we change-if we used this word well? To find out, l spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here's what I've learned.\nIt can improve productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids' productivity. School went from impersonal to personal , and that led to more class participation and better grades.\nEnvironments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And researchers say, pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my hellos were answered far less often than the ones in the countryside. Similarly, people in vacation areas, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work in the centre of the city.\nIt's a form of health insurance . It's impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure , make people feel happier and improve happiness. It seems that saying hello creates a similar influence.\nSo maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. After a month of doing it. I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of _ .\n\n<question>:\nFrom the passage, we learn that _ .\n\n<options>:\nA smiles can take the place of hellos\nB people living in the city refuse to say hello\nC environments play a role in creating friendliness\nD having health insurance is more important than saying hello\n\n<answer>:\n",

His plan was to fly to 10 meters above his garden, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then shoot some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go as he planned.\nOnce his friends cut the ropes under Ted's chair, the 42 balloons flew into the sky at an astonishing speed until about 4000 meters above the ground with Ted and his chair.

"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>:\nWhen do you become an adult, a grown-up? At eighteen? Twenty-one? Thirty? Adulthood may seem a long way to you, but the fact is that you are in the process of becoming an adult right now. The changes are so gradual)( that you may not notice them ,but you can be sure that they're happening.\nWhen you were a child, a parent or an older relative probably bought your clothes and helped you clean up your room. Now you are likely to have a clothes allowance, to care for your bedroom, and to share other cleaning chores. You may once have had trouble getting your homework finished on time. By now, you may have learned to pace yourself. You know how much time you need. Do you remember begging your parents to stop for ice cream, or take an after-school job when you want money for a new clock radio? Of course, you don't always budget your time and your money perfectly. Your room doesn't always pass inspection. And you are often less than even tempered when something upsetting happens. But you're learning.\nAs you get older, you have more privileges and more responsibilities. You may baby-sit for younger brothers and sisters, help cook dinner, and do odd jobs to contribute to the family income.
