It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat . It was also reported that MSG excited a person's brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders . In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn't want to eat the food including MSG.\nToday many food companies \"hide\" MSG on food labels by using different names. If you see \"natural flavorings\", \"hydrolyzed protein\" and \"spices\" in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to \"report\" MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.\nTo protect people's health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.\n\n<question>:\nMonosodium Glutamate is _ .\n\n<options>:\nA a food\nB an additive\nC a factory\nD a country\n\n<answer>:\n",

When this happens, a parent tries to help the child to do the right thing. When this does not work, the parent usually punishes the child.\nThere are many things that a parent can do. One thing that people have done is to spank the child. When a parent spanks a child, they will use their hand or a hard object to hit them on their bottom. This is meant to show the child that they have done something wrong.\nOne parent remembers being spanked when he was a child. His parents used a stick. When he spanked his own children with his hand, he saw that he put a red mark on his child's leg. He never did that again.\nOne problem with spanking is that it teaches the child to hit someone when they do not like what the other person is doing. Another problem with spanking is that the parent is usually angry and can hit the child too hard. Sometimes parents will use spanking for everything and not try other ways to get the child to do the right thing.\nMany parents are not sure of what to do instead of spanking. Some people think that their religion tells them that spanking is okay. Some think that the law lets them do it. The courts say that parents have the right to teach their children how to do things right.\nOther things should be tried before a parent decides to spank a child. Telling the child clearly what is wanted from them can be one thing. Giving a child more than one choice is another thing that can be tried. Getting down to the child's level and trying a more child- friendly way can help as well.\n\n<question>:\nAccording to the passage, when children do something wrong, one thing that parents usually do to punish them is to _ .\n\n<options>:\nA hit them on the bottom\nB try to help them do the right thing\nC teach them what to do\nD take them to count\n\n<answer>:\n",

But in the earthquake places of the world - Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey - rats will soon be man's new best friends.\nWhat happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.\nHow does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.\nAlthough there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, \" 'Robot' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.\" Rats can also see in the dark.

The rat has smelled that person.\nAlthough there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, \" 'Robot' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.\" Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity.\nThe \" rat project\" is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, \" It would be fantastic. A rat would get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.\" Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building ( but only after an earthquake, of course.)\n\n<question>:\nAfter reading the passage we can know _ .\n\n<options>:\nA rats have taken the place of dogs in search for people.\nB the \" rat project\" has been completed\nC people are now happy to see a rat in a building\nD now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescue\n\n<answer>:\n",

Those all-important little nozzles have about 1,000 options for you, everything from mists to smells.\nSeats in the theatre are movable as well. When a car crash happens on the screen, it can also feel like it's happening in your chair. Large fans set around the theatre can make you feel like you're caught in a windstorm, and a lot of lights set around the cinema can be used to create huge flashes like you might see in a lightning storm.\nWatching movies in a 4D cinema can offer you an amazing and unusual experience. You can not only see the movie, but also feel and smell it.\n\n<question>:\nThe nozzles in a 4D cinema can let out _ .\n\n<options>:\nA street racing or war\nB a mist of gunpowder\nC the smell of water\nD everything from mists to smells.\n\n<answer>:\n",
