I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money. Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months. "We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of 'spreading love and culture with seeds' after many tests and lots of hard work," said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company. Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds. With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management. "They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job" said Senior 1 Qian Yifei. The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions. As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently  as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies. makes the company...

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: About twenty years ago I had the pleasure of teaching a disabled young woman. Not only was she good at math and science, but she was also extremely talented in art. She could draw and paint beautifully. When Audrey graduated from university she got two degrees, one in fine arts and one in chemistry. Not too many people do well in two such different areas of study.     Just before her high school graduation, Audrey gave me a wonderful gift. It was a watercolor1 painting of a mother and her baby. A tear fell from the mother's eye as she looked lovingly at her child. Beneath the painting Audrey had written these words: "The deep love from Mother, through me, touches another." What a beautiful gift! I had the piece of art framed(...) and hung in my office. Years passed with many moves from one office to another and I lost the painting. Last year, after about eight years of not knowing where it was, I received a phone from a former colleague who said she had something of mine. It was the picture Audrey had painted for me 18 years ealier. When cleaning out a storage room she had discovered my gift. I was struck that the precious gift came back. I knew Audrey very well. When she was four years old Audrey had a serious disease. What's worse, her father left the house. It was her mother who brought her up with much trouble. She survived the disease but was disabled. To any other it is just a painting, but to me it shows how a mother's love has helped develop a talent and how its power pushes me ahead. Question: Why does the author value the painting so much? Options: A: It was painted by her most talented student. B: The painting can be worth a lot of money. C: The art value of the painting is immeasurable . D: The painting encourages her to advance .

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A mouse looked through a crack  in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap! Running to the farmyard, the mouse shouted, warning everyone, "There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house." The chicken, with her head high, glared at the mouse and said, "Shut up. Little Ugly. This is a great concern to you, but it has nothing to do with me; I can't be troubled by it. The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house." "I am so sorry, Mr. Mouse," said the pig sympathetically, "but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; you are always in my prayers." The mouse turned to the cow, who relied, " A mouse trap, am I in great danger, huh?" Now the mouse had to face the farmer's mouse trap alone. The very night a sound was heard through the house, like that of a mouse trap catching its . The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a big poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. It is said that drinking fresh chicken soup will help treat fever, so the farmer took his sharp knife to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient. His wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow killed to provide for all of them to eat. So next time when someone is facing a problem, don't say that it has nothing to do with you. Remember: when the least of us is threatened, we all might be at risk.
