Can someone verify the answers by reading the passage?

Choosing aTheme Park
These days there are many new theme parks worldwide. Shenzen in China has its cultural villages and Los Angeles has Universal Studios. There are now Disney theme parks in France, Japan, Hong Kong, Florida, and California. There are theme parks for people who want to see cartoon characters. There are theme parks for people who want to learn about history. There are theme parks for everyone.

But is every theme park right for you? Think about these questions before you choose a park.

Who is going with you? Theme parks with cartoon characters are better for small children. Parks with exciting rides, like huge roller coasters, appeal to teenagers.

Why do you want to visit a theme park? Is it for a birthday or a graduation? Are you having a family reunion? Choose a theme park that fits your purpose
.
What kind of attractions do you enjoy? Do you prefer water slides or 3-D movies? Do you like rides better than shopping?

Finally, when will you visit the theme park? You should avoid hurricane season in Florida and the cloudy winter season near Paris. It's no fun to go to a theme park and stay inside all day because it's raining or cold.
Wherever you go, do some research first. You have a right to expect good food, polite employees, and safe rides. Check the park's safety record. There should be no risk in visiting a theme park. Each theme park is unique. You can find one that's perfect for you.

In this article, the word* attraction* refers to ________.


(A)pulling something out of a situation


(B) something fun to see or do


(C) a romantic interest in a person

(D)the force from a magnet

Ans-B.

Dear Adrienne,

I'm sorry I took so long to reply to your last letter. I'm terribly busy with my new job, and I don't have time for anything else. I really miss the days when we shared a room in the dorm. College life was so much easier than working is!

Things aren't going very well at work. I'm so confused about what to do. My job is to collect sales information to put into monthly sales reports. There are eight different salespeople who send the information to me, but they all have different ideas about how I should write the reports. There are two salespeople in particular who are driving me crazy--Jeff and Charles. They don't like each other very much and they don't talk to each other. Jeff tells me to organize the reports one way, and after I'm done Charles tells me to do it differently. Last week I had to rewrite four reports on the night before they were due because Charles wanted them to be completely changed. I didn't leave the office until almost 10:30! And the next morning, Jeff was upset about all the changes in the reports. Sometimes I think Charles is requesting just to make Jeff angry.

I wish Jeff and Charles would just talk it over and decide which way the report should be done, but they won't even say "Good morning" to each other. I feel like I'm caught in the middle. What do you think I should do? I tried talking to my supervisor, but she just told me to work it out with the salespeople.

I wish this letter could be more cheerful. I feel pretty low right now.

Love,
Lisa
