"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>:\nThe shock of the recent earthquake in Pakistan has brought another shock: the rise of a small, mysterious island, coming out from the water.\nIn the aftershock of the earthquake, people living in Gawadar, near the southwest coast, began to see a strange sight. They looked out into the Arabian Sea and saw a mountain-like shape coming out of the water. \"I could see this gray, dome-shaped body in the distance, like a giant whale,\" Bahram Baloch, a local journalist, told the BBC. \"Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in disbelief .\"\nSo what happened? The earthquake measured 7.7 in magnitude . The force was so strong that it moved the sea floor, releasing gas. This gas pushed the seabed, mostly rock and sand, upward and out of the water. This is how mud volcanoes are formed. The island that measures about 20 meters high, 30 meters long and 90 meters wide is actually the tip of the mud volcano.\nIs it safe? Although people have visited this new island, scientists have found dangerous gas coming from the newly formed island. \"Our team found bubbles rising from the surface of the island, which caught fire when a match was lit,\" said Mohammad Danish, a scientist, to Universe Today.\nThese mud volcanoes are not rare. But it's striking because this one has popped up in a populated area, and not far out in the sea. However, it's not expected to last very long. Most of these mud volcanoes are swept back under the sea within one year.\n\n<question>:\nAccording to Mohammad Danish, _ .\n\n<options>:\nA it is safe to visit mud volcanoes\nB it is a bad time to do research\nC gas from the newly formed island was dangerous\nD some places on the island were on fire\n\n<answer>:\n",

My father and mother took me to Hong Kong, where we had to say goodbye. When we were saying goodbye, I suddenly felt afraid that I had never had before.\nThis was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away my tears, I realized that, from that moment on, I would have to do everything by myself.\nAfter my arrival in _ , my teacher, Ms. Lang, showed me around my new school. A few days later, I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class. Only math, science, social studies and English were _ , and students could choose other subjects for themselves, I chose music, Japanese and health.\nIn New Zealand, students are very active in class. And teachers are not as serious. They often let us play games in class. We can sit with anyone we like, and the teacher can sit at her own desk or at a student's desk. The school had an easy manner, with few rules.\nBecause there was no homework, we could join clubs or do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school, where I found a lot of books to help with my studies.\nStudying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand, students depend on the library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do.\nTime went fast. The two months flew by after I arrived. Then a week of exams began. I did not have to take these exams, because I had only been at the school for a short time. However, my math teacher encouraged me to take the math exam, as she thought I could do well.\nThough there wasn't much pressure on me, I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pain means no gain.\nWhen the day of the exam came, I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later, my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark: It was me! I got 94 percent.\nAll my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life.\n\n<question>:\nWhen she was wiping away her tears, the writer realized that _ .\n\n<options>:\nA she had already arrived in New Zealand\nB she could no longer see her parents in Hong Kong\nC she had to say goodbye to her parents\nD she would start a new life in New Zealand all by herself\n\n<answer>:\n",

After a day of hard work, most of them feel like they're going through school a second time when they sit down with their children each night to help with their homework. And a recent survey found that 46 percent of parents feel like they don't spend enough quality time with their children, because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework. And another 29 percent of parents have arguments with their kids often when they have different answers to the same question.\nNow several education scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping. They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time. At the same time, the number of homework - connected arguments will be less at home. Katy Smith, an education scientist, says, \" You don't have to know everything. Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents. Use your resources - online teachers, or even your neighborhood - just ask.\"\n\n<question>:\nHow long do the kids spend doing homework?\n\n<options>:\nA About six hours a day.\nB About six hours a week.\nC About six hours a month\nD About six hours a year\n\n<answer>:\n",
