"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>:\nIn the last eight years, a lot of bees have disappeared. Scientists have been studying why those bees have been leaving their hives and not returning. They believe that their living environment may be changing.\nNow, the US government is stepping in to help fight this problem. President Barack Obama has asked for $50 million(310 million yuan ) in his 2015 budget to fight this problem, and has announced the start of the Pollinator Health Task Force. This group will work on keeping the US bee population healthy and strong, and will show people what they can do to help bees.\nEven though many people may not like bees, they are an important part of how we grow food. As pollinators , they move from one plant to another. Through pollination, plants can grow seeds and fruit. It's said that at least 90 kinds of plants including nuts, fruits and vegetables depend on bees for pollination.\nThe new Pollinator Health Task Force will work hard to protect bees, and build new hives for pollinators. It also plans to start a public education activity to make more people know the importance of pollinators, and actions that can be taken to protect them. The group will reach out to schools, libraries, museums and so on.\nObama said that helping save the bee population will avoid other losses for the agricultural sector , and will help protect the health of the environment.\n\n<question>:\nWhat role do bees play in growing food\n\n<options>:\nA They pollinate, helping plants grow seeds and fruit.\nB They can help keep Earth healthy.\nC They can help plants grow more grains of pollen.\nD They can make fruit and vegetables grow bigger.\n\n<answer>:\n",

She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you've been thinking about lately. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.\nDoctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people act in the way that they do, called psychologists , are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system . Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body.\nStress is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody's life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body's protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.\nWhen you feel stressed, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline . Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can't fight or run away from, so you don't use up all that adrenaline. It just stays bottled up inside you, and that's what can do something bad to you.\nWhat can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren't under so much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can't change a stressful situation. Sometimes you don't even want to. _ \nThe link between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. It's important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise. If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym , you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isn't used to much physical activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before starting any exercise programs.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following is TRUE according to the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA You shouldn't go to the gym if you are under stress.\nB One can do his homework to burn up adrenaline.\nC Disease and accidents are caused by stress.\nD Everyone needs stress to improve himself.\n\n<answer>:\n",

I hope you don't think I have forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I've not had much time to write letters. I will soon be starting my studies at King's College. So far I've been learning about England and British ways of living. I will tell you about London. One great thing about it is that it has lots of books you can read and lots of pictures you can look at. I am sure you'll be more interested to know what I think about the life here.\nI found some of the customs new and interesting. People here don't shake hands as much as we do in Germany. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people didn't put out their hands when I met them. Men raise their hats to women but not to each other.\nWang Gang\n\n<question>:\nThe writer _\n\n<options>:\nA enjoys the life there\nB doesn't like the life there at all\nC knows nothing about the life there\nD says nothing about the life there\n\n<answer>:\n",
