When Mr. Brown entered the classroom that Friday morning, he stopped at the blackboard.  For there, on the blackboard, were words in huge red letters: BROWN IS STUPID!
Mr. Brown thought for a moment. This could only have been the work of one of the four boys who had been kept in after school the day before.
Mr. Brown turned the blackboard around so that the words could not be seen. Half an hour later,Mr. Brown wrote four names on the board: Gerald, Alex, Michael and Laurie. Then he said, "I want these four to stay in the classroom. The rest of you may go to the playground."
The four boys came to the blackboard. "One of you has written a most impolite remark on the blackboard," he stared  at them and _ , "which one of you did it?"
The four boys gathered closer together, afraid of what was to come.
"Was it you, Gerald?"
Gerald shook his head. "No, it was not me, Sir," he gave the teacher a most sincere look in his wide eyes.
"What do you have to say, Alex?"
"I don't know anything about it, Sir," said Alex, and his ears turned red.
Michael had a bright idea. "Perhaps someone broke in during the night," he said. "And when he saw the lovely red chalk lying there, he wrote something on the blackboard."
"Is that the best you can think so, Michael?" asked the teacher.
"I only thought ..."
"And what about you, Laurie?"
Laurie said in a rather low voice, "I didn't do it, Sir. I don't even know what it says on the blackboard."
"You really don't know what's written there?" Mr. Brown asked. "And I don't think dear Gerald knows either."
"No, Sir. No idea."
"Michael, Alex, can either of you tell me what it says on the blackboard?"
"No, Sir!" the two boys answered together. Brown walked forward and his fingers seized  a schoolboy. He said in his kindest and softest voice to the other three boys, "Very well. I only punish the one who has been telling lies, and you three may go to the playground!"

<question>:

<passage>:
Though the ways of teaching have come a long way, the ways of communicating between teachers and students are almost the same. But now, a European country is trying to change that by building schools that have no classrooms, no subject lessons and best of all, no grades.
The idea behind the special school is that children are creative. And researchers also think that kids' learning and ideas are as important as those of the CEO of Google, so why not give them a similar environment? Kids may be successful in such an environment.
To make kids more creative, the schools are built with special learning areas instead of traditional classrooms. And even the lessons are taught in a special way, with mobile phones and computers.
There is no "right" or "wrong" kind of education. The school believes that everything is a learning experience, whether it is about a serious science project or making a movie inside the school's recording studio.
One of the special schools opened in August, 2011. It has five learning areas. The Cave is a secluded place where students fix their attention on individual   projects without being bothered  . The Lab is a place where students can do all kinds of experiments and test their ideas. Kids can work in groups in the same projects in The Camp Fire. The Show Off is where kids can show their inventions. And if the kids need a rest, they can visit The Watering Hole, which has all kinds of fun activities.
Sounds great? And the coolest thing is that the school is free! I hope more schools like this will appear in the world!

<question>:
What is the idea behind the special school?

<options>:
A The children are creative.
B All the students need to be taught.
C All the students must be successful.
D All the students must have high grades.

<passage>:
You change the channels for the fourth time and realize that once again there's nothing on television that gets your attention. Not a problem! Throw on some running shoes and comfortable clothes and go for a run.
One of the coolest things about the sport of running is that you don't need expensive equipment . All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But just because you don't need much equipment don't be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.
Running makes your heart, lungs, and muscles stronger. It makes you know more about your body. Running also gives you energy by increasing your oxygen  intake, so you don't get sick easily. It can even help you keep your mind on school work because exercise helps you to think more clearly.
How do you take part in the sport if you don't know much about it? Most schools offer cross-country and track programs, but there are also running clubs open to all ages. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set realistic goals and take care of their bodies.
Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you'll see people cheering for all the runners, from the first place finisher to the last place finisher. Running isn't always about how fast you are or how far you're going. It's about getting out there and doing it. Taking part is more important than competition, and effort is recognized over gift.
If you're looking for more than just a sport, running may be the perfect choice for you.

According to a recent worldwide survey of Internet users, one out of four says they made their most recent purchase  online and six out of ten say friends' social media posts influence their online purchases. Those statistics  have now given some users of the "Moments"  function on WeChat the idea of turning their "friends" into customers.
The "Moments" function on WeChat is closed system that allows you to send photos and messages only to your friends. It ensures more privacy  and it helps you avoid receiving spam  from sellers. But some users were quick to see the business opportunities of "Moments" and have turned it into a mini-marketplace. They are recommending   products to their friends and offering to either sell the products directly or act as a middleman  for the purchases.
One woman told the Shanxi Evening News that she makes money as a middleman, or purchasing agent. She added a few sellers of fake  handbags to her friends list and posts pictures of the handbags. When a friend is interested in buying a bag, they pay her the money and she has the sellers send the goods. "There are zero costs for storage and logistics ," she says, "and I make money simply from the price difference." It's a nice business model, but the woman didn't seem to know that she was doing something against the law by selling fakes to her friends.
Another woman was connected with even more dishonest business. She sold facial masks  that had "magical" effects to make women's skin beautiful. Unluckily, the masks caused the faces of some of her "friends" to break out in red spots and pimples , and when they asked for _ , the woman magically disappeared.
Social media is easier to stay connected with friends and to share your experiences with them. And it's OK to "recommend" something or try to make money from your friends. Turning your friends into customers is a sure way to lose those friends.

People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie stars make money in this way.

We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before, advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most interesting thing about advertising.
