"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>:\nDo you or someone you know use a mobile phone? In today's world, many people use a mobile phone especially businessmen and businesswomen. These people are an important part of the business world and help our economies develop. In fact in some countries even children and the elderly use mobile phones to keep in touch with family and friends. We know how useful it is to have a mobile phone, but do we know how safe these phones are? Some scientists say that mobile phones could be a risk to our health. So, money is being given to scientific research to find out if mobile phones may be harmful in any way.\nWhat does the future look like? Is a hands - free phone the answer? The idea behind hands - free sets is simple and maybe they are a safer way for people to communicate. The hands - free set has a piece in your ear and a microphone near your mouth which is connected to a wire that goes into your phone. Some scientists think this is a much safer way to use a phone. Some scientists have proved that a mobile phone 10 centimeters from your head is far safer than if the headset is right against your ear. Some reports say that hands - free sets have 95% less radiation exposure, while other reports say that hands - free sets expose you to more radiation. Governments and the mobile phone industry are researching the effects, including:\n* the effects of radio waves on blood pressure and the brain, such as the abilities to concentrate, remember and learn the connections between mobile phone use and brain cancer long - term effects of mobile phone use, looking at health histories of people who have used mobiles since the 1980s. They will be looking at both current mobile phones and the new generation of 4G phones. The results from these studies will help us understand more about the world beyond mobile communications. Wouldn't it be strange if scientists discovered that mobile phones were too dangerous and we had to stop using them and go back to writing letter and using the normal telephone?\n\n<question>:\nFrom the passage we can know _ .\n\n<options>:\nA wearing headsets is a safer way when we communicate with mobile phones\nB nobody can tell exactly which the safer way to use a mobile phone is\nC we'd better stop using hands - free sets while scientists are looking at them\nD there is some connections between mobile phone use and some illness\n\n<answer>:\n",

One day, I asked her why she practiced so much. She said, \"I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship . I like basketball and I want to be the best player in college.

She told me that her coach said she was too short to be a good basketball player, so she should stop dreaming about going to college. She was heartbroken and it made me feel bad, too. Then she smiled and told me her father said to her, \"If you really want to play for the scholarship of a good college, nothing but yourself can stop your dream.\" The next year, she and her team went to a big game she was seen by a coach of a famous college team and was offered a scholarship to the women's basketball team of their college.

No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called Goreader has created a \"school bag\" which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 2.5kg. The Goreader has a colour screen and can \"hold\" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in \"The Asian Age\" newspaper.\nThe company plans to work closely with the publishers of test books so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to download their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.\nAt present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the newspaper, and the smell of the black ink?\n\n<question>:\nWhat would Indians do to solve this problem?\n\n<options>:\nA They would reduce the textbooks.\nB They would tell the parents to help students.\nC They would tell the teachers to help students.\nD They would take students to school by bus.\n\n<answer>:\n",

But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called \"Internet of things\".\nThe Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that four years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it's a remote control or a washing machine.\nSo, how do household objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.\nAn Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has an infrared sensor , so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.\nBut according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked. Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2015.\nSo, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable.

In 2005, astronomer Warren Brown found one of these space oddities . It was located on the outer edge of the Milky Way, the galaxy we live in. The star was speeding away like nothing he'd ever seen. \"It seemed unbelievable. No star in the galaxy has a speed like that,\" Brown remembers. \"I thought, oh my goodness, I have something kind of special here.\"\nNo one had ever seen a star like this one. What does a scientist do when the results don't make sense?\nBrown didn't give up. Instead, he kept looking. And he kept finding more of these strange and speedy stars, called _ stars. Hyper means \"above\" and velocity has to do with speed. He and his team just found six more of these \"above speed\" stars, bringing to the total of 16. And, he says, he's found even more, and is just waiting for the scientific community to confirm them.\n\n<question>:\nIn 2005, astronomer Warren Brown found _ .\n\n<options>:\nA a star was speeding away very fast.\nB a stars was moving away very slowly.\nC some stars were not real.\nD some stars were not in the Milky Way.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Some pieces of his heart were removed and some pieces from other people were put in, but they didn't fit quite right. So there were several jagged edges. In fact, there were stil some holes in his heart where the pieces were missing.\nThe young man laughed,\"Comparing yours with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess.\"\n\"Yes,\"said the old man. \"But, every scar shows that I took out a piece of my heart and gave it to a person, and often he gave me a piece of his heart in return.\"\n\"Why do you have some jagged edges in your heart?\"asked the young man.\"Because the shapes of the pieces weren't the same.\"\"Then the holes?\"\"Sometimes I gave pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't given back a piece of his, so ... but I don't care.\"\"How come?\"\"They remind me of the love we shared.\"\nThe young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man, took a piece of his heart out and gave it to the old man.\nThe old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fitted, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.\nThe young man looked at his heart, not perfect any more but more beautiful than ever.\nHow sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!\n\n<question>:\nWe can get more beautiful hearts by sharing _\n\n<options>:\nA ideas\nB scars\nC love\nD beauty\n\n<answer>:\n",
