Here are a few things we can do.\nUnwanted gifts? Give them away!\nHave you ever received a gift that you didn't like? Did you throw it away? If so, you can have another choice now. Two British companies hopes people will give away their unwanted gifts to them. And they will resell the gifts to raise money for the poor. In this way, the gifts can be refused and have a future life. And people can make a difference to the world.\nWear the trousers that reduce pollution!\nA chemistry scientist and a fashion designer have created a new kind of trousers. The trousers are made of a new material which can help reduce air pollution around us. Scientists have tested the material. The result shows that it isn't harmful to human. This new kind of trousers may appear at the market in two years. Professor Ryan said, \"If thousands of people wear the trousers, the air quality will be improved.\"\nPlant trees with Felix\nFelix Finkbeiner, a 14-year-old German boy, is not famous as a child actor but an environment hero. At the age of 9, Felix got the idea that children could do something to protect the environment. So he started a club. Felix soon got support from children all over the world. Some of them have become his good friends. The club has an aim of planting 212 million trees. They have planted over 3.5 million trees all around the world. Felix said, \"The answer to controlling global warming is trees--lots of trees!\"\n\n<question>:\nFelix started a club _ .\n\n<options>:\nA to become famous\nB to become a child actor\nC to protect the environment with other children\nD to make friends with the children around the world\n\n<answer>:\n",

But which one is\nbetter?\nThe rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be\nable to slow down enough to read directions carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does\nnot take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.\nThe slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something.

If you wish to\nbecome a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.\n1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or\nslowly.\n2. Some things should be read slowly throughout.

You must read such things slowly or\nremember each important step and understand each important idea.\n3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout.

Sandstorms usually happen in spring. They have happened in more than 10 provinces in northern China this year. People in southern China don't have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from the north of China. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don't get much rain. When there aren't many trees, the ground can't keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns into sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes loose. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky. Besides, in northeast China, there is some vast desert.\nSandstorms are bad for people's health. If people breathe in too much sand, they will cough or have serious illnesses. Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never come back home. The winds also tear the farmers' houses down.\nWhat can you do to stop sandstorms? Here's a piece of advice. Ask your parents to help you plant some trees in spring. If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following is NOT a way to stop sandstorms?\n\n<options>:\nA Plant more trees in spring.\nB Stop people to cut down too many trees\nC Don't stay outside when sandstorms happen.\nD Tell people about the dangers of sandstorms.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Some scientists believe that when we are bored or tired, we breathe more slowly. As our breathing slows down, we cannot get rid of enough carbon dioxide, our bodies will tell the brains to breathe deeply. The result is a big yawn.\nIn 2007, scientists suggested a new reason. They said that the reason why people yawned was to cool down their brains. These scientists found that people who were warmer than others yawned more often.\nScientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious.

Glasses are very important to many people. Do you know how they were invented and developed?\nGlasses took a long time to develop into what you can find in the glasses store today. The Chinese first used colored glasses as fashion. They thought that those glasses had magic, but they didn't think that glasses could help eyes to see clearly.\nIn 1262, the inventor, Roger Bacon, discovered the amazing function of lenses , and he thought that glasses could be used to help people to see. Twenty years later, in Florence, Italy, the inventor, Alessandro di Spina, made the first pair of glasses that could help people to see.\nAlthough these glasses worked, scientists didn't understand how glasses helped eyes to see. They thought that eyes sent out light onto whatever a person was looking at, and then the light came back to the eyes. Johannes Kepler finally found out how glasses worked.\nInventors continued to improve glasses. In 1784, Ben Franklin created glasses that had bifocal lenses. Many years later, in 1827, George Airy made circle-shaped glasses to correct _ , an eye problem that stops the eyes from seeing things clearly.\n\n<question>:\nWhen the Chinese first used colored glasses, they thought _ .\n\n<options>:\nA glasses could help eyes to see clearly\nB glasses were in style\nC eyes could send our light onto glasses\nD glasses could help with eye problem\n\n<answer>:\n",

Glasses are very important to many people. Do you know how they were invented and developed?\nGlasses took a long time to develop into what you can find in the glasses store today. The Chinese first used colored glasses as fashion. They thought that those glasses had magic, but they didn't think that glasses could help eyes to see clearly.\nIn 1262, the inventor, Roger Bacon, discovered the amazing function of lenses , and he thought that glasses could be used to help people to see. Twenty years later, in Florence, Italy, the inventor, Alessandro di Spina, made the first pair of glasses that could help people to see.\nAlthough these glasses worked, scientists didn't understand how glasses helped eyes to see. They thought that eyes sent out light onto whatever a person was looking at, and then the light came back to the eyes. Johannes Kepler finally found out how glasses worked.\nInventors continued to improve glasses. In 1784, Ben Franklin created glasses that had bifocal lenses. Many years later, in 1827, George Airy made circle-shaped glasses to correct _ , an eye problem that stops the eyes from seeing things clearly.\n\n<question>:\n_ made the first pair of glasses that could help people to see.\n\n<options>:\nA Alessandro di Spina\nB Johannes Kepler\nC Roger Bacon\nD George Airy\n\n<answer>:\n",
