It will clean your house after a party. The Robot can take picture of your room before the party. After the party, the robot will go around the room, and it will pick up bottles and trash. After that it will compare the room with the picture and put things back according to its original shape. Such robots are being studied in a lab at Stanford University. That sounds pretty cool! If we can see the robot and have enough money, we must buy them.\nRobot Roomba\nMothers' Day is coming. You can give Robot Roomba as a gift to your mother. The Roomba is a great gift for two reasons. On the one hand, it's really cool as a useful robot. It can actually clean your floor. Maybe not as fast or well as a person does, but it is a lot more fun cleaning the floor by the Roomba than cleaning the floor yourself. On the other hand, it shows the family life is very modern.\n\n<question>:\nHow does the writer know about the Morning After Robot?\n\n<options>:\nA From the Internet\nB From the newspaper\nC From the magazine\nD By listening to others\n\n<answer>:\n",

These were the people who remembered hearing tales about footprints of an animal that walked like a human being.\nThe five men, however, were not the first to have seen these creatures called Bigfoot. Long before their experience, the local Native Americans were certain that a group of apelike animals had been living in the _ mountain for centuries.\nIn 1958, some workers, who were building a road through the jungles of Northern California, often found huge footprints in the earth around their camp. Then in 1967, Roger Patterson, a man who was interested in finding Bigfoot, went into the same jungles with a friend. While riding, they were suddenly thrown off from their horses. Patterson saw a tall apelike animal standing not far away. He managed to take photos of the hairy creature before it disappeared in the jungles. When Patterson's photos were shown to the public, not many people believed his story.\nRichard Brown, an experienced hunter, discovered a similar creature. He saw the animal clearly through the telescopic lens of his rifle . He said the creature looked more like a human being than an animal.\nLater many other people also found deep footprints in the same area. In spite of regular reports of sightings and footprints, most experts still do not believe that Bigfoot really exists .\n\n<question>:\nWhat did the five campers do when they saw a group of apelike creatures?\n\n<options>:\nA They fought with the creatures by throwing rocks at them.\nB They ran into the woods and hid there for several hours.\nC They made a big fire to frighten the creatures away.\nD They quickly ran back into their house and locked the door.\n\n<answer>:\n",
