"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>:\nDolphins are our friends. They can use tools to solve problems although they don't have hands. For example, scientists have ever found that a dolphin can make a shy eel come out of its hole with a dead fish.\nDolphins use different sounds to exchange information with each other. Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins, and the results are amazing. They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of individual words, but also understand the importance of word order in a sentence.\nMost animals enjoy playing -- but dolphins seem to like making their games as challenging as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the \"game\" and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour.\nDolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our \"IQ tests\" . For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise. They do this because they will get a fish as a prize.\nThere is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers, but it is certain that watching a dolphin show is fun.\n,. (5)\n\n<question>:\nWhy do the dolphins jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise?\n\n<options>:\nA Because they want to get a fish as a prize.\nB Because they enjoy playing on the water.\nC Because they want to play with other dolphins.\nD Because the dolphin keepers want them to come out.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Some families go to fast food restaurants. But in the past people went to diners. Do you want to know the story of the first American diner?\nIn 1872, a man named Walter Scott had the first \"diner\". It was not really a diner. It was only a simple food cart . People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. The cart served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Messer Jones built the first big enough diner to allow customers to come inside. However, they had no chairs to sit down. Three years later, people built diners with counters and stools and people sat down while they were eating.\nBefore long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The earliest menu which only included sandwiches and coffee became bigger. Soup and dishes were added to the menu, and a breakfast menu appeared, too. In addition, diners were no longer carts on wheels.\nDiners today are usually buildings with large windows, shining counters and stools, tables and chairs, where people can eat all three meals.\n\n<question>:\nWhy do many people like to eat out?\n\n<options>:\nA Because they can eat quickly.\nB Because the food outside is more delicious.\nC Because these people feel bored at home.\nD Because these people like to be with their friends.\n\n<answer>:\n",

They write their own poems, say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day.\nHowever, many parents are worried about these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk last weekend and how they don't like studying. They are using language that is surprising to their parents. Besides hearing from their friends, teen bloggers also get messages from strangers. Most of the time, it's older men asking to meet teenage girls. \"These strange men are dangerous for my kids. They sometimes teach my kids bad words,\" said Cara Cabral, a mother of two.\nMany teenagers and young adults know it's not safe to use blogs on the Internet. They know they are putting information about themselves in a place they can be seen by anyone. But teenagers are unwilling to give up these new communication tools that have become a way of life for many of them.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following is NOT true according to the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA It's easy for teenagers to give up blogging.\nB Many teenagers know it's not safe to use the blog on the Internet.\nC A blogger's information about himself can be seen by anyone on the Internet.\nD Most of today's teenagers aren't afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Taking a cool bath or a shower can feel really good on a hot day.\nIt is also important for us to drink water. If you feel thirsty, you should drink water immediately. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day, so many doctors advise that you should try to drink at least that much every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.\nThe food we eat also makes a difference in how we feel in the heat. Cold food, such as ice cream and drinks with some ice, can cool down our bodies. However, eating spicy food makes our bodies even warmer.\nThe clothes we wear can help us feel cooler as well. Light-coloured, light-weight clothes feel cooler in the sun than dark, heavy clothing. Loose clothes are more comfortable in the heat than tight ones.\nEven though it is not healthy to run around during the hottest time of the day, that doesn't mean a hot day is not fun! You can read stories in your room. You can also paint or draw without moving your body too much. These are just some of many cool things to do on a hot day.\n\n<question>:\nWhat kind of clothes can help us feel cooler on a hot day?\n\n<options>:\nA Loose clothes.\nB Dark clothes.\nC Tight clothes.\nD Heavy clothes.\n\n<answer>:\n",
