For most people, it is a picture of a person wearing unusual clothes with a hat on his head, dancing to the music in a cool way. For example, a person who wears a large T-shirt dances on the street. Clearly, clothes those street dancers wear show their personalities and clothing styles. Now let us take a look at street dancers' clothing styles.\nTops\nIf you look into the clothing styles of street dancers, you will notice that there is a large difference between the tops that men and women wear. For men, they often wear a large T-shirt with probably a jacket at times. However, for women, they often wear tank tops (T) .\nBottoms\nToday, the street dancers still prefer wearing large jeans and a lot of men also wear Capri pants . However, women start to wear mini skirts or shorts. Nowadays knee-high socks are also a popular new look for the women.\nFootwear\nFor any street dancer, shoes are important. Any pair of shoes that produces the slightest sound can destroy the performance. So they need a pair of shoes that allows them to move freely.\nIn fact, street dancers' clothing has to be something that allows for a lot of comfort and that shows personalities. The two points are important for any street dancer. Without those things, it is difficult for street dancers to perform well and show their personalities. What do you think about the clothing style of street dancers? Maybe you like it or maybe you don't. Anyway, people have different ideas of beauty.\n\n<question>:\nWhat's the best title for the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA Fashionable Clothing Styles\nB Clothing Shows Personalities\nC Important Points for Street Dancers\nD Street Dancing Clothing\n\n<answer>:\n",

The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.\nI'm very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people I've met could only be found in a writer's imagination, then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I've found in books new friends and new worlds.\nReading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writer's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.\nEvery book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate , in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related ones, appear in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.\nReading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you \"ought\" to read, you probably won' t have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time -- and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't suffer during the process.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?\n\n<options>:\nA You will never meet amazing people in your life unless you read.\nB You think actively instead of getting facts passively when reading.\nC You will get much delight from any book that you are told to read.\nD You can relax yourself by reading because it involves little thinking.\n\n<answer>:\n",
