According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react very quickly, even if they are not related.\nOxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study. Whack-a-mole requires people to hit one of nine buttons . The players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random . It is a game that requires speed and accuracy ( ).\nThe study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies' cries.\nThe volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.\n\"Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby,\" said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford's psychiatry department, who led the study. \"For example, it's almost impossible to ignore(,) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around.\"\nHe added that a baby's cry can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution , taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.\n\n<question>:\nAccording to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?\n\n<options>:\nA There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.\nB The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.\nC Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.\nD The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby's cry.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Whack-a-mole requires people to hit one of nine buttons . The players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random . It is a game that requires speed and accuracy ( ).\nThe study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies' cries.\nThe volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.\n\"Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby,\" said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford's psychiatry department, who led the study. \"For example, it's almost impossible to ignore(,) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around.\"\nHe added that a baby's cry can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable, because in the course of human evolution , taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and bodies develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.\n\n<question>:\nAccording to the passage, a baby's cry _ .\n\n<options>:\nA has the same pitch as birdsong\nB is the noisiest sound there is\nC can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure\nD is good for its health\n\n<answer>:\n",

For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages, When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads all your things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload, No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.\nFrom June to September, Kolkata gets heavy rain. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In some parts of the city, the roads flood , and anything with an engine is useless, But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.\nBut not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. The local government want to ban rickshaws. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problem with this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw, If the city bans rickshaws, these men won't have a job. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.\n\n<question>:\nWhat can we learn from the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA The rickshaws in Kolkata have loud horns.\nB The rickshaw is still a part of public transport in Kolkata.\nC The local government offer many other jobs to the rickshaw driven.\nD The people in Kolkata are supposed to take rickshaws instead of cars.\n\n<answer>:\n",

In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.\nSo what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical to use time, not distance, to measure journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.\nIn fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation . The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.\nThe London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first.
