"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>:\nOne weekend in May 2015, over 48 centimeters of rain fell in Houston, Texas, USA. Soon the city was covered with water. The rising water rushed into the cars on the roads. There were 16 deaths that weekend.\nChanging Weather\nThe weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains have caused floods in Brazil, Pakistan, and Thailand. Droughts have struck Russia and Australia. Heat waves have killed thousands in Europe. There are more different kinds of terrible wild weather all over the world. In 2011 alone, the bad weather caused the world to lose 150 billion dollars.\nWarmer and Wetter\nAs more wild weather events happen, a worried world is beginning to ask questions like: What is going on with the weather? And why? Many also want to know: Is this natural, or are we to blame ?\nThe answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. _ This global warming makes heat waves more likely to happen. The higher temperatures also cause more water to enter the air. This causes much more rain. Some scientists also believe global warming makes some storms stronger.\nThis means we're likely to see more wild weather. \"But we don't have to just stand there and take it,\" says Scientist Michael Oppenheimer. He and other scientists say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following would Oppenheimer probably agree with?\n\n<options>:\nA It is too late to stop global warming.\nB Humans have nothing to do with global warming.\nC The weather will get better if we can stop global warming.\nD To find ways to keep our things safe is the most important.\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>:\nMany people think that the ideas about right and wrong are only personal ideas. Bennett wrote The Book of Virtue in which he suggested that great moral stories can build character. The success of Bennett's book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values, just like honesty, courage, loyalty and many others.\nFor Americans, one basic moral value is honesty. The story about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Little George cut down his father's favourite cherry tree. When his father asked him about it, George said, \"I did it.\" Instead of punishment, his father spoke highly of him. Sometimes American honesty--being open and direct--can make people angry. But Americans still believe that \"honesty is the best virtue\".\nAnother virtue is perseverance . A story tells of a little train climbing a hill. The hill is too high to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, \"I think I can, I think I can.\" At last, the train was over the top because he did not give up.\nCompassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of \"The Good Samaritan\" from the Bible describes a man with compassion. On his way home, he found a poor traveler lying on the road. The kind man, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need.\nCompassion can even turn into a good cycle. In 1992, people in Iowa sent plenty of water to help Floridians hit by storms. The next summer, during the Midwest flood, Florida returned. Millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindness shown to them.\nIn no way can this book cover all the moral values honored (...) by Americans. But moral virtues are priceless, and they are the base of American culture and any culture.\n\n<question>:\nHow many virtues Americans have are mainly talked about in the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA Six.\nB Five.\nC Four.\nD Three.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Earthquake experts think that a large earthquake will happen there soon.

Buildings that have not been built strong enough would be destroyed. Not all hospitals would be able to help people who were injured. Many people would die or be homeless.\nPeople need to be prepared. They need to know what to do if an earthquake happens. Everyone in California should have a survival kit at home.

People who are always very sad have depression ; those who worry a lot have anxiety.\nBut what about anger problems? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion - one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. In the past, many doctors didn't accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.\nToday, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.\nHow to tell the difference between \"normal\" anger and \"anger problem\" is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.\nDisordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity . It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses are very strong. An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.\nAnd in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly. But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger don't disappear over time.\n _ are also important to consider: Disordered anger often damages people's lives. \"It interferes with people's relationships and their jobs,\" says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. \"Even their health is affected.\"\nAnger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. \"When a person is angry, their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,\" says Howard Kassinove, a professor at Hofstra University in New York. Over time, these changes take their toll on the body, he adds.\nExperts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well: increasing someone's level of competence - whether on the job or as a parent or partner - helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings.\n\n<question>:\nA person who _ most possibly has disordered anger in the experts' opinion?\n\n<options>:\nA can't get out of anger quickly\nB is dissatisfied with relationships\nC has high blood pressure\nD is worried about his job\n\n<answer>:\n",

Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.\nIn some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump . Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The _ system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.\nTo keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land.

Some love sharing a bedroom with a sibling but they would rather choose to do it than have to do it\".\nHomes with just one child make up nearly half of all families in Britain.\nThe study, to be published on Friday, questioned 2,500 young people.
