"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>:\nKatie was in big trouble.She was such a sweet kid; a third-grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies, she was never ever a discipline problem. I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.\nIt seemed that Katie had been spending money in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They wondered why but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.\nThe next day, I asked Katie to my office. \"Why are you buying lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?\" I asked. \"I lose it,\" she replied. \"I don't believe you, Katie. Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?\" I asked. \"No. I just lose it,\" she said.Well, there was nothing else I could do.\nThe problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad and scared. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said \"Katie\".\nNow I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child.\nKatie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.\n\n<question>:\nHow did Katie's parents feel when they knew the truth about the lunch?\n\n<options>:\nA They were very angry.\nB They were quite proud.\nC They were rather sad.\nD They were so scared.\n\n<answer>:\n",

A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.\nDo you think it impossible? Well, it is true. And this is how it happened.\nThe mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony of M auritius , a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to London. Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps.\nBefore the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England, a big dance was planned by the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces on the island. The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. Stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words \"Post Office\" instead of \"Post Paid\", two words seen on stamps at that time, on the several hundred that he printed.\nToday, there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left--- fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because there are so few Two-Penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for one of them.\n\n<question>:\nWhen a mistake is made in the printing of the stamp, the stamp _ .\n\n<options>:\nA will be thrown away\nB increases in value\nC is not worth buying\nD is worth no more than its face value\n\n<answer>:\n",

However, you will forget this feeling when the car gets old. But if you spend a week traveling, it's more possible that you'll remember the great experience, and you'll remember the feeling for a long time. A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on _ things.\nFor material things, it's possible that you'll care about every little thing. If you buy a nice pen, and someone else buys one with less money, it's possible that you may be unhappy because you spend so much money. When it comes to experiences like trips, you won't think like that. If the experience is generally good, you will be happy with the price.\nMaterial things can be compared more easily. If you buy an MP3 and then see a more suitable one, you may regret buying the first one. However, if you have a nice dinner at one restaurant, and then learn about another better restaurant, you'll not regret the first meal.\nMaterial things can cause jealousy .For example, if you buy a new toy and find that your friend has a better toy, you'll feel unhappy. Instead, if you travel to a beautiful place, then no matter where your friends have gone, it won't make the memory of your trip less happy.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following is WRONG according to the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA Spending money in a clever way makes people happy.\nB People like traveling more than buying material things.\nC Material things may cause jealousy.\nD People care about more things when they buy material things.\n\n<answer>:\n",
