"Deep down almost every bookshop lover knows that picking a new book to read is, at times, a fairly superficial process. We're t

uned to judge books by their covers, despite the advice of cliches. But what happens when the tables are turned, and the covers are the ones judging us?
Thijs Biersteker, a Dutch artist, has created a book that uses facial recognition to decide whether you are worthy of reading it. The book scans your face, reading your emotional state; if it senses that you are either too excited or in a sour mood, it will lock itself shut, preventing you from reading in the wrong frame of mind.
First you align your face with the book's built-in screen which intentionally resembles the face of a robot out of the 1927 dystopian film Metropolis. If you're overly amped or skeptical of the book, it will not open. You need to maintain a very serious reading expression, demonstrating your intent to focus on the content of the book.
Biersteker explains that his thought process behind the book spoke to the anxiety he feels when searching out new literature. He adds that, in practice, the book garners an immediate, and interesting, emotional reaction from people.
"I think there is a lot of irony in a book that judges you on judgement by judging you. The playfulness in combination with the technology makes people smile the moment they see it."
1. What is the main idea behind the article?
A - Books can now judge their readers.
B - You shouldn't choose a book when you aren't in a good mood.
C - People should consider more than just the cover when choosing a book.
D - New technology can help us choose what books people should be reading.

I think the best answer for the question that is being presented above would be letter  C - People should consider more than just the cover when choosing a book. It would seem like the answer is A, but if you think about it, it is merely a step to 'judging more than the cover' when you pick a book.

Which assumption about George is most likely true based on the stage direction?
Artyom0805 [142]

At the beginning of act two, scene two, there is a conflict between George and Beneatha after they get home. They have dated many times before, and when they were out this time, he tells her that he expects to have a more physical relationship with her, revealing his thoughts about education, that he sees it only as a way to get money.


When he tried to kiss her at the couch while she was trying to have a conversation telling him about her dream of becoming a doctor, she moved away and refused to kiss him. George gets angry saying that "he expects women to appear sophisticated but not to express sophisticated opinions" (C) as she's been doing many times, calling her moody and her thoughts stupid. Beneatha resolves it by ending the relationship calling him a fool. He wouldn't take her seriously and she could not change his mind deciding he is not the man for her.
