My mother read the little poem and cried. \"Buddy, it's a beautiful, beautiful poem!\" My mother poured out her praise.\n\"What time will Father be home?\" I asked. I could hardly wait to show him my poem. My father had begun his movie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate my poem even more than my mother. I confidently put the poem right on my father's plate on the dining table.\nMy mother said he would be home around 7. But My father got home an hour later than expected. He sat down at the table and noticed his plate. \"What is this?\" I heard him say.\n\"Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it's beautiful, so amazing!\" Mother said.\n\"If you don't mind, I'd like to decide that for myself,\" Father said.\nI kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. \"I think it's bad,\" my father said. I couldn't look up. My eyes were getting wet.\n\"Ben, sometimes I don't understand you,\" my mother was saying. \"This is just a little boy. He needs encouragement.\"\n\"I don't know why,\" _ \"Isn't there enough bad poetry in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.\"\nI ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.\nA few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite.\nAs I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, \"Buddy, it's wonderful!\" and a father who shook his head \"I think it's bad.\" Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact, all of us in life need both loving force.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following is right?\n\n<options>:\nA A few months later, the writer stopped writing.\nB After years the writer hated his father very much.\nC That day Father didn't come home until a quarter past eight.\nD The writer was confident that Father would praise his poem.\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "D" } ]

Since then, people have not only traveled to space, but also many of them have lived there in space stations for some time.\nThe Soviet Union sent the first space station into space in 1971.

The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations. At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab.\nAstronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time. However, it wasn't until the late 1980s when The Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in.\nLiving in space stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems. One of them is food. All the meals on space station are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle.

They are some Chinese people like you and me, but they aren't in China. Why do people call them like that?\nIf we call somebody an ABC person, we mean he or she is a Chinese but was born in America. Sometimes, people also call them \"banana persons\". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So if somebody is a \"banana person\", he or she is \"white\" inside and \"yellow\" outside. By saying that, we mean he or she has yellow skin but does things in an American way. \"Banana persons\" were born in America and they live in America for a long time, so they think like Americans and do things like Americans. However, these people still have Chinese blood . Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents are from China. They all have black eyes and black hair, so they look like us, Chinese people.\nThere are many famous \"banana persons\" in America. They do very well in America and they are really great in their own fields.\n\n<question>:\nThe best title for the passage is _ .\n\n<options>:\nA What Is a \"Banana Person\"\nB A Great Person's Name Is ABC\nC Great \"Banana Persons\"\nD Great Chinese People in America\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "A" } ]
