I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.\nThe second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well _ for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.\nThe third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.\nI accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly.

So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.\nFor my job, there are three important things that I will consider:\nThe first one - that I must work in an area I like - is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.\nThe second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well _ for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.\nThe third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.\nI accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly.

Most people don't know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.\nFinally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products . Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.\nIn some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade .\nYet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.\nThe computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things--and cut down on waste, too.\n\n<question>:\nWhat is the main idea of this passage?\n\n<options>:\nA Repairing old computers.\nB Encouraging to make cheap computers\nC Recycling old computers.\nD Helping those who need computers.\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "C" } ]

My mother had recently passed away, and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 58 years very hard and had lost interest in life. It was quite difficult to try to get him to eat each day as he didn't want anything.

She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little other than the occasional ice cream.\nThe next evening, I decided to buy two ice creams. On the way to dad's room, I came into the sick woman's room, and offered her the ice cream I'd bought for her. She was totally astonished that I had thought of her, and accepted the gift with tears in her eyes.

But in May this year, at Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. Many visitors were attracted by a 3D printer.\nThe machine looks similar to an ordinary printer and can print a \"statue\" in about 90 minutes after scanning anything, including a person.\nThe printer prints layer by layer. For example, if we want to print a 30-cm-tall statue, the computer will calculate* the layers and print 460 layers in total*. It can also print people and clothes. You can stand for scanning for just about three minutes, and a statue will be finished about two hours. The cost for a statue of a man is about 1000yuan. The printer, which costs about 500,000yuan, is from the USA.\n\"We want to introduce this technology to people, and find more chances here.\" said an engineer, \"There is a company in USA that offers 3D printing services to people. Many people come to design their own thing. It is very cool. We hope that the printer will encourage more Chinese people to be more creative.\"\n\n<question>:\nThe best title for the passage is _ .\n\n<options>:\nA 3D printer made in Shenzhen\nB 3D printing looks for bigger market\nC 3D printing services in the USA\nD Design your own statue\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "C" } ]

However, the April Fool's Day of 2014 was quite different for my mom and me.\nThat day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare . I broke my arm.\nJimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to hospital. As that day was April Fool's Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy's mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad -she originally thought this was just a big prank .\nI guess one could compare this to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
