A baby shower is a party where a pregnant woman is \"showered\" with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will also hold a baby shower for her.\nThe baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant. _ the date of a baby's birth isn't always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someone's home or outside, like in a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However, more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.\nLike a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register a wish list of things she wants at one or several stores. This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes, diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there aren't repeat items, like 30 bottles when a new mom only needed 15.\nAt a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom. Most of these cards also include money or gift cards to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she needs for the baby. Sometimes there are games as well. In one game everyone guesses the date of the baby. Another game lets people taste baby food and guess the flavor.\n\n<question>:\nWho was only invited to a baby shower traditionally?\n\n<options>:\nA Men.\nB Children.\nC Women.\nD Pregnant women.\n\n<answer>:\n",

He has led a group of college student volunteers since last year. They help children at a primary school with their studies and daily lives.\n\"When I was a small child\", Zhang said, \"I knew March 5 was a day for people to learn from Lei Feng and help others, but I didn't know the real meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng. Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped, I deeply understand Lei Feng. Helping others makes me happy.\"\nLei Feng (1940-1962) is one of the most famous soldiers in Chinese history. He lost his parents when he was very young. His neighbors brought him up. He died in an accident at 22. He did many good deeds in his short life. For example, he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier. And bought tickets for a woman he didn't know without telling her his name.\nOn March 5, 1963, Chairman Mao called on people to \"Learn from Lei Feng\" and made the day \"Lei Feng Day\".\nToday almost 50 years has passed since Lei's death. Some people say that the spirit of Lei Feng is outdated .\nBut many people think we need to promote that spirit again. There have been many reports about the coldness of people toward strangers. This has made many Chinese people think deeply about themselves.\n\"The most important thing is that we must be ready to help others and make it a habit.\" said Huang Tianze, a student from Jianlan High School in Zhejiang.\n\n<question>:\nWhat's the most important thing Zhang Kai wants to tell us ?\n\n<options>:\nA Lei Feng is Zhang's role model.\nB The Lei Feng spirit is outdated.\nC Helping others is a good thing..\nD We must be ready to help others.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Over one hundred years ago, there was very little reliance(dependence)on modern technology. There were no landing mats , no stopwatches and no photo finishes. In fact, cameras and stopwatches were not used until the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the USA.\nToday technology has completely revolutionized(changed) sports. Take sports equipment for example. Starting blocks are now equipped with electronic pressure sensors , which provide exactly correct race time and also help to catch runners who \"jump the gun\". As athletes cross the finishing line, special digital cameras can also easily decide the winner. The clays of \" _ \" are gone.\nAthletes have also benefited from technological developments. Body-hug-ging suits, which reduce wind drag, can help cut up to one-tenth of a second from runners' race times. Top athletes are even provided with tailor-made sports shoes. These shoes are made to fit the athlete exactly--and there are even air compartments in the shoes that can be filled to meet each runner's individual needs.\nTechnology has also changed the way that many sports are performed. Take one example--the pole vault . The inclusion of a landing mat obviously made a big difference to the vaulting style as athletes no longer needed to worry about hurting themselves as they fell. Without these worries, athletes could obviously jump higher. These days, polevaulters do not even need to worry about the crossbar as the uprights are now fitted with light-emitting diodes(LEDs) that measure how high the athlete vaulted. Technology has even been to the advantage of swimmers. New pools have been designed to reduce wave interference and sports scientists have even developed a new style of swimming that increases buoyancy and reduces drag in the water.\nThe increasing importance of these technological developments has led many sportsmen to suggest that the \"Olympic spirit\" is being lost in a rush to break records and win medals. Many developing countries say that technology has become too important in sport and that athletes from developing countries that cannot afford such technology are disadvantaged. There are no easy answers but one thing is sure--we cannot turn back time. Technology cannot go backwards.\n\n<question>:\nThe purpose of the writer in writing this article is _ .\n\n<options>:\nA to suggest we should keep up with the times\nB to show us the future of modern Olympics\nC to prove that the athletes have done better\nD to introduce high-tech sports equipment\n\n<answer>:\n",

Many students would simply reply: \"To get good result in the college entrance examination .\" For several years, many have spoken out against the exams. Some say they have turned children into studying machines. Others think that one exam cannot possibly _ a student's true level of knowledge. So, should the exams be canceled?\nMinister of Education Yuan Guiren doesn't think so. \"Officials and the rich might take advantage if the college entrance examination were called off . And life would be more difficult for poor children. However, we do need to change the exams,\" Yuan said on March 7. He has put an exam reforms at the center of his fourth year in office. \"I think the exam is a fair way to choose talented people. But it should pay more attention to all-around personal qualities, not just grades,\" said Cui Shangyu, a Senior 3 student in Sichuan. The college entrance examination was restored in 1977.

You may think it's because you're tired. Or perhaps you've been told sleep is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.\nUntil the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes each, sleepers' eyes made rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM sleep, for Rapid Eye Movement. Periods when sleepers' eyes did not move he called non-REM sleep.\nWhenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements showed that sleepers' pulses went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, REM sleep is a time when the body is hard at work. Scientists still don't know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier.

It's a SW 705 model, and it's about five years old. Here's my problem: The light metre was fine when I bought the camera, but now it isn't working and my pictures are coming out too dark. I checked the batteries, and they are still good. I took the camera to some repair shops, but they said they couldn't repair it because the model is too old and they don't have the necessary part.\nDo you have the parts for this model in stock? If so, could I send you the camera for repairs? How much would the repairs cost? I'm going to buy your new SW800 model in about six months, but I would still like to fix this old one.\nThank you very much.\nSincerely yours\nSarah H, McDaniel\n\n<question>:\nWhat does the Relex Company make?\n\n<options>:\nA Lights.\nB Cameras.\nC Batteries.\nD Lamps.\n\n<answer>:\n",
