What (how?) does the writer feel about Zheng Jie's recent victory?
This is an extract from the exercise given by an tutorial centre teaching English.
"Based on the information of the above article, what does the writer feel about Zheng Jie's recent victory?"
1. Should we say "given in the above article" or "from the above article" instead of "of the above article"?
2. Should we ask "How does the writer feel" instead of "What does the writer feel"?

Hi, Hongkie.
"Based on the information of the above article, what does the writer feel about Zheng Jie's recent victory?"
1. Should we say "given in the above article" or "from the above article" instead of "of the above article"? No. We should say : "...given in the article above". But, "given in the above article" is also possible I guess.
2. Should we ask "How do

I would rewrite thus:
Based on the information in the article above, how does the writer feel about Zheng Jie's recent victory?
Asking what someone feels is also possible, however.

Thank you.
When I was in high school, my teacher told us that "How do you feel?" means "What kind of feeling are you having?"
"What do you feel?" means "What kind of thing are you feeling (e.g. by way of touching)?"

Hongkiemy teacher told us ...Those are good guidelines to follow. But not every English speaker differentiates these so carefully, and you will hear the version with what when howis really intended.

Hi guys,
If you ask my friend Tom how his girlfriend Mary feels, he might say 'She feels happy', but he might also say 'She feels soft and warm'.
In other words, the verb 'feel' can be understood in more than one way, so much depends on the context of the question.
