I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: It was a hot afternoon. I had a quarrel with the airport staff  and then was asked to have a drug test .I missed the flight home later because of bad weather. Now my flight home was full and running late. I felt sorry and unlucky. At that moment,I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother watching me. He left his mother and slowly walked towards me."Great!"I thought sadly,"Now I have to take care of a 5-year-old child. My day is now complete." As he came closer,I found it was my hat that he was after. I wanted to tell him not to touch my things,but I was curious to know what he would do with my hat. With wide eyes,he gently touched my hat. He looked up at me,smiling,but saying nothing. I asked him if he wanted to wear my hat,he excitedly nodded,still smiling. I placed my hat on his head,but it fell down around his ears. He didn't mind and held it up with both hands. He ran to show his mother,then back to me,still smiling. With much respect,he slowly took off my hat with both hands and gave it to me. I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. Holding the card carefully with both hands,he looked up at me and said,"Mister,you sure are lucky.""Yes,I sure am,"I said. I admired the wisdom of a 5-year-old boy,as I got the last seat on that flight home. Question: What did the writer feel when he watched the boy walking towards him? Options: A: Unhappy.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over. In two weeks' time Bergqvist's ice creation  will be nothing more than a pool of water. "We don't see it as a big problem," he says. "We just look forward to replacing it." Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. "The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door," he says. After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0degC, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing  hotel break. "It's great fun," Bergqvist explains, "As well as a good start in survival training." The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. "You can get a lot of people in," explains Bergqvist. "The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time." Question: According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is   _  . Options: A: to gather a pool of water B: to prepare a wooden base C: to cover the ground with ice D: to pile a large amount of snow
