"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>:\nHow important is color in the business world?\nGoogle, one of the biggest U.S. companies, is trying to find it out. The company has already found \"a close connection between color and satisfaction with a person's work area\". That's according to its spokeswoman named Meghan Casserly.\n\"Color is a silent salesperson,\" said Elyria Kemp. She is an assistant professor of marketing at the University of New Orleans.\nKemp is following color trends in business. She is studying the connection between feelings and color. According to Kemp, when people make an evaluation of a product, usually they do this within 90 seconds or less. Besides, more than half of their first evaluation is based on (......) color alone.\nThat's why so many companies are researching their color choices. They are spending thousands of dollars on the research, too. Just think of UPS's Pullman brown, Home Depot's orange and Tiffany & Co.'s blue.\nJoclyn Benedetto is a spokeswoman for Tiffany & Co. She said the success of the company's jewelry was connected to its blue color. It is used to wrap every product. She said the color was chosen by the founder Charles Lewis Tiffany for the cover of Blue Book, Tiffany's annual collection of beautifully hand-made jewels, which first came out in 1845.\nCoca-Cola's red color also dates back more than 100 years. The soft drink was shipped in barrels painted red.\nA spokesperson for Home Depot said research showed that the first thing people thought of was orange when they heard the name of the company.\nSmaller companies are also realizing the importance of color. But picking the right color is important.\n\"You know when something is right because you get a feeling of safety, and it's not something that you think about. It just will hit you,\" said Emil Hagopian, a distributor for Mar Plast Color Building Accessories in Ann Arbor, Mich. \"And sometimes, if it's done wrong, that also hits you.\"\n\n<question>:\nWhat is Google trying to find out?\n\n<options>:\nA How to create a better work area.\nB How to become the biggest U.S. company.\nC The connection between color and business.\nD The secret of success in the business world.\n\n<answer>:\n",

It is a poisonous American snake. When it is angry or afraid, it makes a noise like a rattle with its tail. It's very scary. But Heather Ramirez and her husband, from California, in the United States, make a living in an unusual way. They are self-employed snake catchers! They catch snakes, especially rattlesnakes which have gone indoors, and return them to the wild.\nHeather describes her work as \"protecting people from rattlesnakes -- and protecting rattlesnakes from people!\" In the area where they live, rattlesnakes often come face to face with people. They are found in stores, offices, houses and gardens. Heather explains that it's not the snakes that are moving into places where people live, but it's the other way round. The snakes lived in these places first and then the people built houses.\nMost people who see a rattlesnake are feared. If you keep your distance, however, the snake won't bite you. In twelve years as a snake catcher, Heather has never touched a snake. She doesn't take the risk. She picks up the snakes with a special tool. This doesn't hurt _ , but it keeps them at a safe distance so that they can't bite her.\nHeather and her husband are very busy because they are never off duty. Catching snakes is a full-time job and they don't often have a day off. People can get to them at any time of the day or night. Not everyone can do this job, but Heather doesn't want to do anything else. \"I just love my job,\" she says.\n\n<question>:\nThe Ramirezs make a living in an unusual way by _ .\n\n<options>:\nA catching and selling snakes\nB catching snakes as a part-time job\nC protecting snakes in the wild\nD being self-employed snake catchers\n\n<answer>:\n",

It is easy to understand how this expression was born. When my face has a nice fresh, pink colour, it is a sign which shows my health is good.\nThe colour green is natural for trees, it is an unnatural colour for humans. When someone doesn't feel well, for example, we say he looks green. When someone is angry because he doesn't have what someone else has, we say he is \"green with envy\".\nSome people are \"green with envy\" because someone else has more dollars, or \"greenbacks\".

It is one of the world's most important wetlands. The reserve covers an area of 210,000 hectares. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.\nMany birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay there for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong has long been called \"the home of the crane\". There are 15 crane species in the world. 8 of them are in China and there are 6 species in Zhalong area. It is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Every spring and summer, red-crowned cranes lay and hatch their eggs in Zhalong.\nSome people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.\nEvery year, a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year, members of our Bird-watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.\nWe _ once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.\nMany people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.\n\n<question>:\nThe purpose of the article is to _ .\n\n<options>:\nA attract more visitors to pay a visit to Zhalong Nature Reserve\nB ask people to take action to protect wetlands and wildlife\nC prevent people from watching birds in Zhalong Nature Reserve\nD make people around the world know the Birdwatchting Club\n\n<answer>:\n",
