Problem: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Few people would defend the Victorian attitude on children, but if you were a parent in those days, at least you knew where you stood: children were to be seen and not heard. Freud and his colleagues did away with all that and parents have been puzzled ever since. The child's happiness is all- important, they say, but what about the parents' happiness? Modern child-rearing manuals would never permit cruelty to children .The trouble is you are not allowed even to shout. Who knows what deep psychological wounds you might cause? The poor child may never recover from the dreadful experience. So it is the parents that bend over backwards to avoid giving their children complex which a hundred years ago hadn't even been heard of. Certainly, a child needs love, and a lot of it. But the excessive permissive  of modern parents is surely doing more harm than good. Psychologists  have succeeded in weakening parents confidence in their own authority. And it hasn't taken children long to get wind of the fact. In addition to the great modern classics on child care, there are countless articles in magazines and newspapers. With so much advice flying about, mum and dad just don't know what to do any more. In the end, they do nothing at all. So, from early childhood, the kids are in charge and parents' lives are regulated according to the needs of their kids. When the little dears develop into teenagers, they take complete control. Lack of authority over the years makes teenagers rebellion against parents all the more violent. If the young people are going to have a party, for example, parents are asked to leave the house. Their presence merely spoils the fun. What else can the poor parents do but obey? Options: A are bombarded with excessive amounts of child-care literature. B draw a distinction between permissiveness and carelessness. C are only towards children from happy home backgrounds. D weigh their children's knowledge rather than intelligence. Answer: A are bombarded with excessive amounts of child-care literature. Question:

A: The author says that today's parents   _  .
Problem: Given the question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love. The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner. His tail has long ago been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch. Ugly would have been a dark grey tabby, striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY cat!!" All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their home or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing frantically and bump his head against their hand begging for their love. If you ever picked him up, he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earring whatever he could find. One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly attacked. From my apartment I could hear his scream and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was obvious Ugly's sad life was almost at an end. Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home,... Options: A Because he loved Ugly so deeply B Because the Ugly taught him to love totally and truly C Because he hated it that his neighbors were so cruel D Because he found some similarities between them Answer: B Because the Ugly taught him to love totally and truly Question:

The answer is:
Why did the writer say he would try to be Ugly?
[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: The old man fished alone in a small rowboat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy's patents had told him that the old man was now bad luck, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and he always went down to help him carry in the fishing lines or take down the old, patched sail. "Santiago," the boy said to him as they dragged up the boat to the sand. "I could go with you again. I've made some money." the old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. "No," the old man said. "You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them. You must obey your father." "We can be lucky again too. Remember when we didn't catch a fish for 10 days, then caught a big one each day for a month?" said the boy. "Can I offer you a beer on the balcony and then we'll take the stuff home," said the boy. "Why not?" the old man said. "Santiago," the boy said as they sat on the balcony, "If I cannot fish with you, I would like to serve in some way." "You bought me a beer," the old man said, lifting the bottle to his mouth. "Do you remember the first time I took you out to fish?" the old man asked. "I was five. I remember the tail of a huge fish slapping against the boat, the noise of you clubbing him and the sweet blood smell. I remember everything from when we first went together," the boy said. The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, loving eyes. "May I get some sardines for tomorrow? Let me get four fresh ones," said the boy. "One," the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone. But now they were freshening like a sea breeze. "Two," the boy said. "Thank you," the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained modesty. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride.
