He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962, long after he had received his Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Oregon State College in 1922. He had chosen to study this major because he could get a good job with it.\n He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 \"for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substances\". His interest in the \"behavior\" of molecules led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry, especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts, the amino acids , which are called the \"building blocks of life\". In 1950, he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule, a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell. \n During World War II, Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security, for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However, the use of the atomic bomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules, he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures. \n From then on, Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts, The Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones, came into effect on October 10, 1963, the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following things did Pauling pay much attention to at first?\n\n<options>:\nA The \"behavior\" of molecules.\nB Physical chemistry.\nC Biological chemistry.\nD The human body.\n\n<answer>:\n",

The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is, of course, somewhat terrifying.)Nevertheless, such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement. A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o'clock has the whole afternoon from one to five ruined for him already.

"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>:\nWHY do we sometimes struggle with moral dilemmas? Why is it a crime to take certain drugs but it's acceptable to take others? Why is it wrong to create human embryos to cure diseases suffered by millions? Often, we follow rules that bring little benefit and can even be positively harmful. But the rules are not set in stone, so there is nothing to stop us getting rid of those that don't work and putting better ones in their place. Now an experiment suggests that morality isn't entirely about benefits to individuals. We also tend to make and obey arbitrary moral rules, probably as a way of promoting social consolidation .\nA classic psychology experiment called \"trolley experiment\" suggests that our minds have two moral systems, and they don't always agree. In the trolley experiment, participants are told that an out-of-control trolley could kill five people on the tracks. They must decide whether to turn it onto a second track with only one person on it. Almost everyone does it, sacrificing one to save five. But if instead you have to push one person off a bridge onto the track to stop the trolley, most people say no. That suggests most of us have a strict rule against killing people directly, even for the greater good.\nHow are such rules formed? Although people with morality appear to _ the act of killing in the bridge experiment, most moral behavior in animals appears focused on outcomes--the death of an individual, say--rather than the death of the majority. When an animal experiences harm to help a , biologists view this as increasing the chances that the animal's genes will survive. Many psychologists think that human moral rules are an extension of this \"kin selection\".\nKurzban of the University of Pennsylvania did the experiment further. Kurzban's team gave volunteers changes of the bridge situation. Volunteers were asked what they would do and whether their actions were morally right. 85% of them said it would be morally wrong to push one person off to save five, whether these people are brothers or strangers, confirming the idea that there is a rule against killing. However, despite thinking it wrong, 28% said they would still push a stranger off to save five, while 47% said they would push a brother off to save five brothers. \"They're more likely to do this 'less moral1thing if it's to save a ,\" Kurzban says, suggesting kin selection is at work as well as the basic \"moral rule\" against killing. The experiment shows we have at least two parallel systems for deciding right and wrong: one that says some actions, like killing, are bad, and another that tells us to protect kin. So how is this helpful?\nScience has made great steps in explaining morality. No longer is it seen as something handed down from on high. Sacrificing yourself so as to protect your kin, for example, can benefit your family genes. Social consolidation demands we have rules, regardless of what they are, to help settle disputes quickly and peacefully.\n\n<question>:\nOur moral dilemmas lie in the fact that moral rules _ .\n\n<options>:\nA can hardly be changed once set\nB are against individual benefits\nC can be harmful as well as beneficial\nD are promoting social consolidation\n\n<answer>:\n",

Clearly, they never looked closely at ants. A new study suggests that ant colonies avoid irrational decisions that people and other animals often make.\nConsider the following scenario: You want to buy a house with a big kitchen and a big yard, but there are only two homes on the market---one with a big kitchen and a small yard and the other with a small kitchen and a big yard. Studies show you'd be about 50% likely to choose either house---and either one would be a rational choice. But now, a new home comes on the market, this one with a large kitchen and no yard. This time, studies show, you'll make an irrational decision: Even though nothing has changed with the first two houses, you'll now favor the house with the big kitchen and small yard over the one with the small kitchen and big yard. Overall, scientists have found, people and other animals will often change their original preferences when presented with a third choice.\nNot so with ants. These insects also shop for homes but not quite in the way that humans do. Solitary worker ants spread out, looking for two main features: a small entrance and a dark inside. If an ant finds an outstanding hole---such as the inside of an acorn or a rock crevice---it brings another worker ant to check it out. As more ants like the site, the number of workers in the new hole grows. Once the crowd reaches a critical mass, the ants race back to the old nest and start carrying the queen and larvae to move the entire colony.\nTo test ant rationality, Stephen Pratt, a behavioral ecologist at Arizona State University in Tempe, and a colleague designed a series of possible nests for 26 ant colonies. The duo cut rectangular holes in balsa wood and covered them with glass microscope slides. The researchers then drilled holes of various sizes into the glass slides and slipped plastic light filters under the glass to vary the features ants care about most. At first, the colonies only had two options, A and B. A was dark but had a large opening, whereas B was bright with a small opening. As with humans, the ants preferred both options equally: The researchers found no difference between the number of colonies that picked A versus B.\nThen the scientists added a third option, called a decoy , that was similar to either A or B in one characteristic but clearly worse than both in the other (a very bright nest with a small opening, for example). Unlike humans, the ants were not tricked by the decoy, the team reports online today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Although a few colonies picked the third nest, the other colonies did not start favoring A or B and still split evenly between the two.\nPratt speculates that ant colonies avoid making the irrational decision because, unlike humans, each ant doesn't evaluate all options before making a choice. When the scouts find a nest, they're unaware of what else is out there, and either they pick the nest or they don't. \"The group may do better precisely because the individuals are ignorant,\" Pratt says.\nMelissa Bateson, an ethnologist at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, believes the findings could have \"really interesting implications for the benefits of collective decision-making, which we could learn something from.\" Many grant-review boards, for example, behave like ants: Reviewers see only a subset of the total grant applications and thus have to make a decision without seeing every option.\n\n<question>:\nThe survey of house buying is mentioned to _ .\n\n<options>:\nA reveal the serious housing problems of modern society.\nB explain how to make a more reasonable choice when buying houses.\nC show that in fact humans are not so rational as known when making choices.\nD criticize the selfishness of human nature.\n\n<answer>:\n",

It would be like a hug for them,\" Levine explained.\nLevine started the project about a year ago. \"I think it's just really fun to do, and it keeps me busy,\" said Levine, now 13.\nOnce she got started, Levine realized that her project could be much bigger than the goods she was able to produce with just her own hands. So she sent emails to her school and communities , asking for knitted donations to the project she named \"Hannah's Warm Hugs\". She also posted advertisements at Starbucks and other locations in her area. The warm goods began to _ .\n\"It was amazing; more strangers than people she knew started dropping donations at our door,\" said Levine's mother, Laura Levine. \"We ended up with this huge box of items she was donating.\"\nThe knitted items numbered in the hundreds. Levine made her first round of donations around Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December) and later received thank-you letters from the organizations. Levine is still knitting, and she said the project will continue.\n\"It has turned into a bigger thing than she had thought,\" her mom said. \"It made her feel pretty good; it made us feel pretty good.\"\n\n<question>:\nWhat would be the best title for the text?\n\n<options>:\nA Be ready to lend a helping hand\nB Start a project to show your support\nC Teen turns knitting hobby into heartwarming project\nD 13-year-old girl becomes US best knitter\n\n<answer>:\n",

Although they lived mostly with their mother, they spent a lot of time with us. Over the years, we all learned to become more comfortable with each other. However, I continued to feel somewhat like an outsider. \nWhen the children moved to a town five hours away, my husband was understandably destroyed. In order to keep in touch with the kids, we set up an e-mail and chat-line service.\nIronically , this technology can make us feel out of touch and more in need of real human contact. If a computer message came addressed to \"Dad\", I'd feel forgotten. If my name appeared along with his, it would brighten my day. _ not just over the telephone wires.\nLate one evening, as my husband was snoozing , I was catching up on my e-mail, an \"instant message\" appeared on the screen. It was Margo, my oldest stepdaughter, also up late in front of her computer. We sent several messages back and forth, exchanging the latest news. When we \"chatted\" like that, she wouldn't necessarily know if it was me or her dad unless she asked. That night she didn't ask and I didn't tell her it was me either. After hearing the latest volleyball scores and the details about a coming dance at her school, I said that it was late and I should go to sleep. Her return message read, \"Okay, talk to you later! Love you!\"\nAt this, a wave of sadness ran through me and I realized that she must have thought she was writing to her father the whole time. She and I would never have openly exchange such words of love. Feeling guilty for not telling her the truth, yet not wanting to embarrass her, I simply replied, \"Love you too! Have a good sleep!\"\nI thought again of their family circle and I felt again the sharp ache of emptiness and \"otherness\". Then, just as my fingers reached for the keys to return the screen to black, Margo's final message appeared. It read, \"Tell Dad good night for me too.\" With tear-filled eyes, I turned the machine off.\n\n<question>:\nHow was the experience of the author as a stepmother that night?\n\n<options>:\nA Heart-warming.\nB Full of sadness.\nC Heart-breaking.\nD Disappointing.\n\n<answer>:\n",

There have been so many tests that I've prepared for the night before, gotten an A, but not remember anything later. I've changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!\nWhile drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, they are also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they would never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. If you have \"fun\" and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you are applying for college. The \"friends\" who say you are a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It's hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don't follow their footsteps. Follow your own path in life and make your own decisions.\n\n<question>:\nThe passage is probably written for _ .\n\n<options>:\nA high school students\nB high school teachers\nC college students\nD sports players\n\n<answer>:\n",

It is a group of networked server computers that let users connect and pass their messages among the networked servers in almost real time. In other words, it is a big chatting server, once you join a group, you are able to talk in an open forum type environment or just one on one.\n What IRC Networks are out there? There are about fifty really mainstream IRC networks (groups of servers) you can connect to. The most common ones found are typically, 'EF-Net', 'Under-Net', and 'DAL-Net'.\n What is a Channel? A channel is the name for the 'group' you are joining, or the 'forum' in which you want to talk. On IRC, channels are denoted as # Channel Name. For instance, say if you are interested in MP3 music, you may want to go to # MP3.\n How do I get on IRC? To get on IRC, you will need to get a client program. I personally suggest using 'mIRC', if you are in the windows environment. I have used the program for many years faithfully. It is a shareware program that doesn't disable after a given time period.\n What are the basic commands once I am on? Join # channel -- this will make you enter a channel. Part # channel -- this will make you exit a channel you are in. Nick new name -- this will change your current screen name.\nA note as a warning about IRC. IRC is a wonderful forum for idea exchange, and a fun place to chat and learn. However you must keep in mind that you don't know who is on the other end. That someone says they are 16 doesn't mean they aren't 45. Keep an eye on yourself and make sure not to give out any personal information on IRC before you know those on the other end of the line thoroughly. Attention! Safe IRCing everyone!\n\n<question>:\nAccording to the passage, 'EF-Net', 'Under-Net', and 'DAL-Net' stand for _ .\n\n<options>:\nA chatting groups\nB group channels\nC computer massages\nD chatting networks\n\n<answer>:\n",

It is a group of networked server computers that let users connect and pass their messages among the networked servers in almost real time. In other words, it is a big chatting server, once you join a group, you are able to talk in an open forum type environment or just one on one.\n What IRC Networks are out there? There are about fifty really mainstream IRC networks (groups of servers) you can connect to. The most common ones found are typically, 'EF-Net', 'Under-Net', and 'DAL-Net'.\n What is a Channel? A channel is the name for the 'group' you are joining, or the 'forum' in which you want to talk. On IRC, channels are denoted as # Channel Name. For instance, say if you are interested in MP3 music, you may want to go to # MP3.\n How do I get on IRC? To get on IRC, you will need to get a client program. I personally suggest using 'mIRC', if you are in the windows environment. I have used the program for many years faithfully. It is a shareware program that doesn't disable after a given time period.\n What are the basic commands once I am on? Join # channel -- this will make you enter a channel.
