Let's go to a fruit store first. I have something interesting to show you.\"\nAt the store, I told him that we needed to buy apples. And we bought some red apples, green apples and yellow apples.\nAfter we got home, I told Adam, \"It's time to answer your question.\" I put one of each type of apple on the table: first a red apple, followed by a green apple and then a yellow apple. Then I looked at Adam, who was sitting on the other side of the table.\n\"Adam, people are just like apples. They come in different colors, shapes and sizes. See, some may not even look as delicious as others.\" As I was talking, Adam was examining each one carefully.\nThen, I took each of the apples and peeled them, placing them back on the table, but in a different place.\n\"OK, Adam, tell me which one is the red apple, the green apple and the yellow apple.\"\nHe said, \"I can't tell. They all look the same now.\"\n\"Take a bite of each one. See if that helps you tell which one is which.\"\nHe took big bites, and then a huge smile came across his face. \"People are just like apples! They are all different, but if you take off the outside, they're pretty much the same on the inside.\"\n\"Right,\" I agreed. \"Just like everyone has their own features but they are nearly the same.\"\nHe completely got it. I didn't need to say or do anything else.\nNow, when I eat an apple, it tastes a little sweeter than before. What perfect fruit it is!\n\n<question>:\nIn the end, Adam understood that _ .\n\n<options>:\nA people are much the same even if their skin color is different\nB people are different if their skin color is different\nC the apples look the same after they are peeled\nD apples of different colors taste different\n\n<answer>:\n",

From these older countries, the Japanese borrowed ideas, inventions and habits.\nFor many years, the Japanese built houses like those in China. They dressed themselves like a Chinese. From China came their way of writing and their habit of drinking tea.\nIn more recent times, the Japanese have borrowed things from our country, the United States. They have a government like ours. They do much work in science, as we do. Baseball is a favorite sport in Japan, just as it is here.\nThings change when they come to Japan. The Japanese improve on almost everything they borrow. The art of garden making came from Korea and China, but the Japanese gardens are special. Each garden has a waterfall, a pond, and small bridges. There are few flowers in Japanese gardens. But the gardens are green during all the year round because they have many evergreens. Japanese gardens have a different kind of beauty.\n\n<question>:\nChoose a statement from the following sentences that is NOT true.\n\n<options>:\nA The government of Japan is like that of the United States.\nB People in the United States like playing baseball.\nC The Japanese invented the habit of drinking tea.\nD Japan is made up of many islands.\n\n<answer>:\n",

You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.\nFor many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.\nDuring the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind\n\n<question>:\nWhat did people use windmills to do for many centuries?\n\n<options>:\nA To help make flour from wheat.\nB To help get water from the river.\nC To help make electric lights.\nD To help dig wells in faraway areas.\n\n<answer>:\n",
