[ { "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>:\nThis sad story happened on a cold winter evening. It was so cold and snow was falling so heavily that the roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. Being outside in such weather was very unwise. However, Peter Lee had to walk home from work. Peter walked with difficulty along a country road, the cold wind beating against his chest. He thought, \"If I wear my coat backwards, maybe, it will be a little bit warmer for me.\" He stopped walking, took off his coat, and put it on backwards. \"That's much better,\" he said to himself happily. Walking on through the thickly falling snow, he was thinking about drinking a cup of warm coffee by the burning fireplace.\nA few minutes later, a car knocked down Peter. The driver hadn't seen him soon enough. When he tried his best to put on the brakes , the car skidded on the icy road. The frightened driver got out of the car and ran to see how the poor man was.\nAfter a while, a police car arrived. A policeman went up to see Mr Lee who was lying on the ground. He told the driver, \"I'm afraid he's dead.\"\nThe driver was so surprised. \"This can't be the case, because I hardly touched him. Check my car carefully. There's not a mark on it.\"\nThe policeman said, \"I'm sure he's dead.\"\n\"It's impossible,\" the driver said anxiously. \"As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying on the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood.\"\n\"Did you touch him?\" the policeman asked.\n\"Yes, but only to turn his head around the right way,\" the driver answered.\n\n<question>:\nWhy did the writer say this story was a sad one?\n\n<options>:\nA It was rather cold that day.\nB Snow was falling heavily that day.\nC The man in the story was made dead by mistake.\nD An accident happened on the road.\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "C" } ]

[ { "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>:\nIf you are one of those who want to know how to increase your vocabulary, there are some ways you may find useful. In fact, it is not that difficult to learn new words, but to remember them for a lifetime seems not to be so easy.\nTo make it easier, you can try word associations . Try to find a connection between a new word and things or people you know. For example, if your neighbour is an unselfish person who cares about the needs of other people, think about this person every time you see the word, and very soon you'll start actively using it.\nTry to use the words you learn as often as possible. Perhaps you are not sure which situations they should be used in, or whether you pronounce them correctly, but practice is the best way to understand that. It is not enough to find out the meaning of a word. You should hammer it into your mind by using it in actual conversations in everyday life.\nAlso, it may be helpful to know the meaning of the word roots, prefixes and suffixes , especially if they have a Greek or Latin origin . Even if you meet a long unfamiliar word, it will be easy to know its meaning if you know the general meaning of its parts. For example, if you see the word \"philanthropy\", it won't be difficult to _ what it means if you know that \"anthropo\" means \"human\" and \"philo\" means \"loving\". Not only can ancient Greek and Latin be helpful, but a number of modern languages as well. So, if you speak French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese, guess the meaning of an unfamiliar English word if it sounds like a word from another language you know.\n\n<question>:\nwhat's the writer's purpose in writing the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA To tell us how he or she learnt English well.\nB To explain why it is not hard to learn new words.\nC To prove that learning new words can be really fun.\nD To tell us some good ways of remembering new words.\n\n<answer>:\n", "assistant": "D" } ]
