input:  Now, answer this question: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: I attended a birthday party in 1991. My teacher was then 59 years old. But her fellow teacher said that we were celebrating her 39thbirthday! We were all surprised and puzzled. After the party I was told by the fellow teacher that American women have a special saying about birthdays. If a woman is over 40, or even if she is 80, her birthday is always the 39th. If she is in her thirties, her birthday will be the 29th. And in her twenties, it's the 19th. They usually have their "real" birthday when they are below 20. This shows that American women, especially elderly women, are very sensitive  about their ages. But my teacher always says, "We want to be younger," so about the age of Western women, my advice is that if you don't know it, don't ask about it; if you really know it, don't mention it. Question: The writer felt the birthday party he attended was   _  . Answer:
A:
output: very strange

input:  Now, answer this question: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: What would we do without humour? How would we enjoy speaking with others if we did not use humour to invite a smile or a laugh? And how would we manage in times when we feel sad and lonely?     Using humour we lighten up each day, and we find common ground with others. We build healthy relationships with others by knowing what to say and what to do. When our use of humour is successful, we build trust and cooperation. We discover that we are not alone, we learn to accept our mistakes, and we look for the good in others and in ourselves. Most importantly, we create common ground, as humour is an essential skill needed to communicate well with others. A few well-chosen words get the attention of others and make a serious point without their getting defensive  . Whether we prefer to be the centre of attention or to be shy and quiet, humour can be adjusted   to suit our personality.      However, when we lose our sense of humour, we often get critical or defensive, and we blame others or ourselves for what was said, and how it was said.      To ensure that our humour is welcomed by others, we need to combine our humour with speaking clearly and listening effectively.     Have you ever noticed that successful individuals often use self-depreciating humour to humble   themselves, without putting themselves down? These individuals understand that every person has strengths and weaknesses and that self-depreciating humour invites others to feel more confident and equal. In this way, humour is the shortest distance between two people.      Humour is the spice of life, as it brings happiness, numbs pain and it makes us speak and listen well. Question: Successful individuals often use self-depreciating humour to humble themselves, because they think   _  . Answer:
A:
output: humour can draw people closer together

input:  Now, answer this question: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Editor: Today our topic is part-time job. Are they good for school children or not? Headmaster: Certainly not. Children have got two full-time jobs already: growing up and going to school. Part-time jobs make them so tired that they fall asleep in class. Mrs. White: I agree. I know school hours are short, but there's homework as well, and children need a lot of sleep. Mr. White: Young children, perhaps some boys, stay at school until they're eighteen or nineteen. A part-time job can't harm them. In fact, it's good for them. They earn their pocket money instead of asking their parents for it. And they see something of the world outside school. Businessman: You're quite right. Boys learn a lot from a part-time job. And we mustn't forget that some families need the extra money. If the pupils didn't take part-time jobs, they couldn't stay at school. Editor: Well, we have got two for, and two against. What do our readers think? Question: Who have the same opinion? Answer:
