"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>:\nYou've probably seen it before-two elderly people walking hand in hand down the street and looking very much like each other. They look so much alike that they could be brother and sister.\nDo you believe that people who live together for many years would look alike? It's strange. but scientists say it's true.\nHow scientists proved it? In a study, scientists found young couples only showed similarity by chance. However, elder couples were very likely to look like each other. The similarity could be very subtle and could be found in wrinkles or furrows, etc. Besides, some couples look far more alike than other couples.\nThe scientists thought of several possible reasons:\n1. Diet. \"We are what we eat.\" As couples usually share the same diet, will they probably look alike? For example, if both partners eat a high fat diet, their faces will tend to look fat. However, the scientists ruled this out using another small study.\n2. Environment. Will elderly couples show similarity because they live together in the same area for a long time? The environmental factors such as sunshine and wind affect the skin in similar ways. The scientists ruled this possibility out as well.\n3. Empathy . This is the theory the scientists believe in. Couples grow to look similar because they are empathizing with each other. They copy each other's facial expressions. For example, if one partner often smiles in a certain way, the other is likely to copy it. In this way, their faces share similar wrinkles and furrows.\n\n<question>:\nThe old couples look _ than the young couples.\n\n<options>:\nA much more alike\nB more different\nC less alike\nD 1ess different\n\n<answer>:\n",

One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money . In western countries , people did not use paper money until the 15th century . However , people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century .\nA Chinese man called CaiLun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood . He took the wood from trees and made it into paper . He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book .\nNow paper still comes from trees . We use a lot of paper every day ! If we keep on wasting so much paper , there will not be any trees on the earth . If there are no trees , there will be no paper . Every day , people throw away about 2800 tons of paper in our city . It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper . This means that we are cutting nearly 48000 trees every day . Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow , we must start using less paper now . If we don't , we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper .\nSo how can we save paper ? We can use both sides of every piece of paper , especially when we are making notes .We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets . We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones . When we go shopping , we can use fewer paper bags . If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later .\nEveryone can help to save paper . If we all think carefully , we can help protect trees . But we should do it now , before it is too late .\n\n<question>:\nWhen he was in China , Marco polo _ .\n\n<options>:\nA discovered CaiLun invented paper\nB learned to make paper\nC saw many wonderful things\nD told people about it\n\n<answer>:\n",

If we keep on wasting so much paper , there will not be any trees on the earth . If there are no trees , there will be no paper . Every day , people throw away about 2800 tons of paper in our city . It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper . This means that we are cutting nearly 48000 trees every day . Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow , we must start using less paper now . If we don't , we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper .\nSo how can we save paper ? We can use both sides of every piece of paper , especially when we are making notes .We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets . We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones . When we go shopping , we can use fewer paper bags . If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later .\nEveryone can help to save paper . If we all think carefully , we can help protect trees .

Even though you don't know what time it is, your body does.\nInside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a 24- hour cycle. Everyone is unique, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early.\nRegularly staying up late can make kids do worse on tests and quizzes. And working shifts at night leads to higher rates of heart disease.\n\"There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,\" says Steven Shea, Director of the Sleep Disorders Research Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.\n\"During the night, we are prepared to sleep,\" Shea says. \"During the day, we are prepared to eat and move around, If you reverse ( ) what you are doing, everything is out of phase. That can have adverse consequences.\n\n<question>:\n\"Everything is out of phase.\" means _ .\n\n<options>:\nA everything is out of order\nB everything is bad\nC everything is good\nD everything is not controlled\n\n<answer>:\n",

After all, we're brought up to be kind and polite.\nSo, what exactly are you supposed to say when \"thank you\" is only the 20thmost popular way to express gratitude ? According to a recent report, 19 other ways of expressing gratitude finished ahead of \"thank you\" in a poll of 3,000 people.\nPollsters found almost half those asked preferred the more informal \"cheers\", while others liked to use such expressions as \"ta\", \"great\" and \"nice one\".\nSo, just what is the right form of words to express your thanks?\nLuckily, the answer is in the language itself. \"Cheers\" is considered an informal way to say thank you. For example, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a \"cheers\" by way of thanks is not only acceptable to the situation, it is also culturally _ .\n\"Ta\" was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as \"nice one\", and \"wonderful\".\nInterestingly, one word that didn't make it into the top 20 was \"thanks\". But \"thanks\" can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between \"thank you\" and the downright relaxed \"cheers\".\nCertain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. For example, words like \"awesome\", \"brilliant\" and \"you star\" can tell both your pleasure at someone's action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a \"new\" thank you, you can reply with a simple \"no problem\", or \"sure\".\nOf course, a simple wave, nod or smile may be all right. For example, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand is enough to show that you are thankful for the driver's consideration.\nSometimes, formality is necessary, and \"thank you\" is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.\nMany people in western countries are worried that good manners are in decline . People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without any feedback. So don't think that your \"thank you\" was useless or too formal.
