The world paused to remember the cultural giant.\nGarcia Marquez was born in Colombia, but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers, he was widely regarded as \"a giant of 20th- century literature.\" Garcia Marquez wrote in a style called \" magical realism .\" In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile , magical things happen to them.\nGarcia Marquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One hundred years of Solitude (<<>> ), which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and _ town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world- of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years. The story is a metaphor for the development of Colombia since the 19 century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said, Garcia Marquez wrote about \"the essence of the Latin American beings.\"\n\n<question>:\nThe writer quotes from the President to _ .\n\n<options>:\nA Praise Garcia Marquez for his achievement.\nB show the deep sadness of the President.\nC explain the writing style of Garcia Marquez.\nD describe the character of Garcia Marquez.\n\n<answer>:\n",

"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 animals have a culture? What do we mean by \"culture\"? Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.\nOur culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or \"culture\", can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.\n\n<question>:\nWhen we talk about \"culture\", we mean _ .\n\n<options>:\nA book language of behavior we learn\nB the patterns of behavior we learn\nC traditional ideas\nD people's habits\n\n<answer>:\n",

His two daughters, aged four and six, were with him.\nSuddenly, a sick man fell down on the platform . The man, 20-year-old Cameron Hollopeter, got up, but then fell again--this time, onto the track between the two rails . A train was coming into the station. It was a frightening moment.\nBut Mr Autrey wasn't frightened. He looked at the man and the space that the man was in. It was about half a meter deep. And he thought, \"The train is going to travel over this man. If he tries to get up, the train will kill him. But if he lies on the ground and doesn't move, he'll be OK.\" So he got an idea.\nHe jumped down and kept Mr Hollopeter down on the ground. The train driver saw them. He was terrified, but he couldn't stop in time. The train traveled over the two men before it stopped.\nThe people on the platform were surprised. When Mr Autrey heard them screaming, he shouted, \"We're OK down here, but I've got two daughters up there. Let them know their father is OK.\"\nIn an interview on a TV show, Mr Autrey said, \"The only thing that happened to me was my blue hat got dirty.\"\n\n<question>:\nWhy did Mr Hollopeter fall on the platform and then the track?\n\n<options>:\nA Because he was ill.\nB Because he walked so fast.\nC Because he was too old.\nD Because the subway station was so crowed.\n\n<answer>:\n",

Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny \"taste buds\" which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.\nWhat You Need:\n* a friend to help\n* small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, banana\n* small pieces of apple, raw potato, and onion\nWhat You Do:\nThere are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns to try them on each other.\nExperiment 1:\nHave your friend close her eyes and open her mouth.\nGive her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it.\nThen, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.\nExperiment 2:\nWhile your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of the raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but don't call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple!\nExperiment 3: (for the brave)\nTake a piece of raw onion. You don't have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.\nThe Science Secret\nYou already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other \"tastes\" are actually \"smells,\" and you need your nose to \"taste\" them. Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you don't like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won't \"taste\" it at all.\n\n<question>:\nAccording to this article, what could a reader know about food?\n\n<options>:\nA People hold their noses to eat onions.\nB If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.\nC People need a sense of smell to taste some food.\nD If you close your eyes, food will taste better.\n\n<answer>:\n",

"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 I ask you to shut your eyes and gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny \"taste buds\" which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.\nWhat You Need:\n* a friend to help\n* small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, banana\n* small pieces of apple, raw potato, and onion\nWhat You Do:\nThere are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns to try them on each other.\nExperiment 1:\nHave your friend close her eyes and open her mouth.\nGive her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it.\nThen, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.\nExperiment 2:\nWhile your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of the raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but don't call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple!\nExperiment 3: (for the brave)\nTake a piece of raw onion. You don't have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.\nThe Science Secret\nYou already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other \"tastes\" are actually \"smells,\" and you need your nose to \"taste\" them. Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you don't like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won't \"taste\" it at all.\n\n<question>:\nWhat's the best title of the passage?\n\n<options>:\nA Your Eyes Knows\nB Your Nose Knows\nC Your Mouth Knows\nD Your Tongue Knows\n\n<answer>:\n",
