READING (5 points)

Read the text below and answer the questions.

For each question, choose the correct letter A, B, C or D .

Earth Day
We celebrated Earth Day in my city last week. The idea of this special day began in the 1960s
when life was very different. Few people talked, or even thought, about the environment. Most
people had no idea how dirty our air and water were. This attitude bothered Gaylord Nelson,
who was a senator in the US government, and he had an idea. If people around the world knew
the planet was in danger, they might work harder to save it, so he just needed to get their
attention. The first Earth Day was just in the United States but it led to events every year all
around the world on April 22 or the nearest weekend, depending on where you are.

In my town, last Saturday afternoon lots of people rode their bikes from the park, around the
town together and back to the park, taking as much time as they possibly could, so that the cars
had to wait. Then we talked to all the drivers in cars which just had one person in them, to
explain how wasteful that is and how much pollution it causes. The idea was to make people
think about how much they use their cars. In other places, people collected plastic bags for a
week and then made a pile of them in the town square. You can do anything as long as it makes
people of all ages come together for a few hours and talk about the environment. Last year we
had a big music event for young people. Some people said it was a waste of time, but there was
information for people to read and announcements between the bands about how to help
protect the environment.

1. What is the writer trying to do?

A. encourage people to take part in this year's Earth Day

A. people had started to worry about damage to the environment.
B. different governments decided it was a good idea.

3. What happened on Earth Day this year in the writer's city?

A. Cars were not allowed in the city centre.
B. People cycled slowly through the streets.
C. There was a talk about the pollution made by cars.
D. Cars had to have more than one person in them.

4. What does the writer think is the most important thing about Earth Day events?
A. that people should become involved in them
B. that they should attract young people
C. that there should be some music
