I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch   in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs. The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable   to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school was continually interrupted  . One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up. "He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, 'See me after class.'  "The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, 'Why did I receive a low mark?'" "The teacher said, 'This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There's no way you could ever do it.' Then the teacher added, 'If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.' "The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, 'Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.' "Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, 'You can keep the low mark and I'll keep my dream.'" Question: The purpose of the text is to tell readers that   _  . Options: A: seeing is believing B: knowledge is power C: all roads lead to Rome D: where there is a will, there is a way

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Is it important for teenagers to own the latest cell-phone models? There are different ways of looking at this question. First, why do teenagers need to have the latest models? Often it's just to show off. The paradox is that there are many teenagers who own the latest cell-phone models but don't even know how to use them properly. This is true. They just want one because their friends have similar ones, or because they take very good videos and photos. On the other hand, if they do know how to use them, the latest cell phones are really good. They not only help teens to stay in touch with friends and family, but also help them to access the Internet and download pictures, videos or music they need when studying. These new phones are so powerful that having one is almost like having a whole library in your pocket. It's an instant   source of information that helps young people get the latest news. But many parents, thinking only of such positive sides, do not take into consideration the potential dangers. For example, children may constantly be distracted  during class by sending and receiving text messages. Each young generation loves the new technologies available --just think back to when you were a kid. But your job as a parent is to make sure your child gets the most out of this technology with the least possible harm. Question: What is the text mainly about? Options: A: Different ways to deal with teenagers' using the latest cell phones. B: That teenagers should not use the latest cell phones at school. C: Different views on teenagers' using the latest cell phones. D: That the latest cell phone models are becoming very popular with teenagers.

Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: A team of British scientists is preparing to create a digital model of Mount Rushmore using laser scanning  so that the iconic U.S. monument can be recreated if it were to be damaged.    The survey work is part of a project to accurately record the exact dimensions  of 500 of the most famous World Heritage Sites, including the Acropolis in Athens and the Great Wall of China.    The joint team, from the Glasgow School of Art and Historic Scotland, are currently surveying 10 World Heritage Sites in Britain before they aim their laser beams at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. There they will team up with members of the CyArk Foundation, a non-profit organization that has identified several "at risk" World heritage Sites. Mount Rushmore is on their list because of concerns over deterioration of the faces of four former presidents on the sculpture.    Laser scanning itself is not new but applying the technology to historic sites or buildings is a new approach. "At first, these laser scanners were produced for things like refineries where there are lots of pipes and things or atmosphere that are different for humans to actually tolerate," Chris McGregor of Historic Scotland told Reuters Television. "They hadn't really thought about the built heritage as being a market for such a machine but its use and the work that we are doing with it is really innovative and really exciting.    CyArk's goal is to create a huge database of detailed surveys of sites so that they can be maintained or even rebuilt if they should be damaged by a natural disaster, climate change or even war. They cited as an example the Buddhas or Bamiyan in Afghanistan, two monumental statues of standing Buddhas carved into the side of a cliffduring the sixth century that were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001. Despite offers from the governments of Japan and Switzerland, among others, to help rebuild the Buddhas, the team believe an accurate laser survey would have made the task more achievable.    Doug Pritchard from the Glasgow School of Art's... Question: Scientists create digital models of World Heritage Sites to   _  . Options: A: make more money. B: develop tour markets better. C: make these sites better known by people D: recreate these sites in case they are damaged.
