"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>:\n\"Everything happens for the best,\" my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. \"If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.\"\nAfter graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer . I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn't want to accept inexperienced persons. \"Go to the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a chance,\" she said.\nI returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied . The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom's words came to my mind: \"Everything happens for the best.\" Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.\nAs I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, \"How can a man become a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?\"\nI was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, \"What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?\" Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday's game!\nOn my way home, I thought of my mother's words again: \"Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.\"\n\n<question>:\nThe passage mainly tells us that _ .\n\n<options>:\nA it is hard to find a job\nB mother's help is necessary\nC we should hope for the best\nD life is full of disappointment\n\n<answer>:\n",

You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report.\nWho studies hardest?\nChinese students spend the most time studying.

About 45% of them said they sometimes _ in class. In South Korea, it's 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China.\nSouth Korean students don't like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, much fewer than in Japan (93%), China (90%) and the US (89%).\nWho is the most distracted ?\nAmerican students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted: 64.2% said they chat with friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated books in class.\nWhat do they do after school?\nIn their free time, most Chinese students study or surf the Internet.

If someone says or does something that we don't like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.\nWhy is Assertiveness important?\nIf you don't know how to be assertive, you might experience:\n*Depression - Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life.\n*Resentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you.\n*Frustration - Why did I allow that to happen?\nMost people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others!\nBut before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live\nwith the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive\nresponse ,some people might react differently.\nHow to be effectively assertive:\n*Use \"I\" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you're having. \"I'd like to be able to tell my stories without interruption.\" instead of \"You're always interrupting my stories ! \"\n*Use facts, not opinions. \"Did you know that shirt has a hole?\" instead of \"You're not going out looking like THAT, are you?\"\n*Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. \"I get angry when he breaks his promises. \" instead of \"He makes me angry. \"\n* Make clear and direct requirements. Don't invite the person to say no. \"Will you please?\" instead of 'Would you mind...?\" or \"Why don't you...?\"\n*Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don't try to explain yourself.\n\n<question>:\nThe writer probably agrees that _ .\n\n<options>:\nA you should consider others' response before you act assertively\nB you should be assertive if you want to get good marks\nC assertiveness is the ability to infringe others' rights.\nD assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings\n\n<answer>:\n",

As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters . People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.\nAt present, China is trying to help pupils and teachers to improve their writing with the help of information technology. With the technology, it is hoped that teachers can write their teaching contents on the blackboard and students can _ by writing, too.\nThe Chinese character test shows that nowadays, many college students' handwriting has become worse. Many college students do not know how to compose words or sentences in Chinese character in the right way. Not only kids, many adults also have met the same problem. They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character. However, if you ask them to spell out the character in detail , they can't. On the other hand, they can easily type out the character on a computer.\nIn the national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the use of certain technologies. Actually, apart from technology, there is a lot that we can do. For example, we may ask students to finish their homework by writing with hands instead of typing.\n\n<question>:\nPeople often make a lot of mistakes in writing Chinese characters because _ .\n\n<options>:\nA they use computers too often and many people have forgotten how to write them\nB Chinese characters are too difficult to write\nC they are using too much English\nD the country forgets to stress the importance of the Chinese writing\n\n<answer>:\n",
