"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>:\nLast Tuesday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted to have a rest before catching the train. So I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into a station coffee shop with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.\nWhen I came back with my coffee, there was someone sitting near to me. It was one of those strange-looking young men, with dark glasses, torn clothes, and long hair. But I wasn't surprised at such a young man. What surprised me most was that he had started to eat my chocolate!\nI was rather uneasy about him, but I didn't want to get into trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't say anything. When he took a third one, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, \"Well, I shall have the last piece.\" And I got it.\nThe boy gave me a strange look and then stood up. As he left, he shouted out, \"This woman is crazy!\" Everyone looked at me. That was embarrassing enough. But it was worse when I finished my coffee and ready to leave. It wasn't my chocolate I had eaten a moment before. Mine was just under my newspaper.\n\n<question>:\nThe woman telling the story went to town to _ .\n\n<options>:\nA catch the train\nB buy some chocolate and coffee\nC have a rest\nD do some shopping for her family\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>:\nSadness and happiness are often talked about by people in their spare time. Most people want themselves to be happy for ever, but few know how to find happiness. Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do notbring lasting happiness. A famous a Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, \"Happiness depends upon ourselves.\" That's to say,we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.\nThe first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much timethinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we fail to enjoy thepresent. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.\nAnother secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.\nIf you do above, you will be happy.\n\n<question>:\nHow many suggestions of happiness are mentioned in this passage?\n\n<options>:\nA One.\nB Two.\nC Three.\nD Four.\n\n<answer>:\n",

One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it \"No Butts About It\". At first, we drew pictures with \"The Earth is Not Your Ashtray \" written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown---in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don't think that dropping butts hurts the earth. But it does! All rubbish does. Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn't have to drop butts. At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it.\nMany people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other \"No Butts About It\" groups in America. And there are even groups in England, Australia and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for our good work.\nBut we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people. One day it will be.\n\n<question>:\n\"No Butts About It\" started _\n\n<options>:\nA seventeen years ago.\nB seven years ago.\nC seventy years ago\nD It's not mentioned.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it' s dangerous.\nResearch has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on driving and talking at the same time. It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much. A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones, their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much - and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.\nAnd talking isn't even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone's screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.\nUsing a mobile phone while driving puts others' lives at risk. No matter how well we drive, if another driver is*not careful, we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish, careless and should have their driving licenses cancelled.\nThere is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful, especially when you're in trouble.\nBut there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trou-ble of your own.\n\n<question>:\nAccording to the passage ,if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone.\n\n<options>:\nA 12\nB 13\nC 14\nD 15\n\n<answer>:\n",

Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone's screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.\nUsing a mobile phone while driving puts others' lives at risk. No matter how well we drive, if another driver is*not careful, we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish, careless and should have their driving licenses cancelled.\nThere is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful, especially when you're in trouble.\nBut there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trou-ble of your own.\n\n<question>:\nWhy will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?\n\n<options>:\nA It will take longer to send text messages.\nB People will want to talk on their phones more often.\nC There will be more things for people to do with their phones.\nD People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.\n\n<answer>:\n",

The \"fog\" was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog. In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter.

However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people's houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel , like gas, is quite expensive.\nHowever, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution.
