Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Would the voice of Amanda Holden saying "your city had talent" encourage you to use a litter bin? Or maybe former Monty Python star Michael Palin telling you no one had expected "the Spanish bin-quisition"? Organizers of a plan persuading celebrities to lend their voices to "talking bins"believe it can make a real difference to keeping Britain tidy. They hope that by using humor, they will succeed where fines and warnings have failed in keeping streets and parks clean. A similar experiment in Sweden found a talking bin received nearly three times as much rubbish as an ordinary one because people were attracted by its quality of being new and unusual value. Twenty-five specially adapted bins to be installed in the streets of London and Liverpool next month will use a sound card to play a themed message when litter is placed inside. For example,one near the Royal Opera House will play a "thank-you" message sung by Janis Kelly to the tune of Nessun Dorina. Bins installed in Liverpool will play Beatles-themed messages. For others,Britain's Got Talent judge Holden is expected to record the message:"This is Amanda, and this city's got talent." The campaign,entitled Bin Thinking, is being organized by art group Sing London. If successful,talking bins could become a familiar feature on Britain's streets. Colette Hiller, director of Sing London, said, " The idea is to reward people in a small way for changing their behavior and raise awareness through a sense of fun." Question: What is the plan persuading celebrities to lend their voices to "talking bins" aimed at? - Attracting passers'-by attention on celebrities. - Encouraging people to use the litter bins to keep Britain tidy. - Making fun of those who won't keep the streets and parks clean. - Thanking people for cleaning the litter bins through a sense of fun.

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: The Bronte sisters were three sisters who became famous novelists. Their lives and works are connected with the lonely moors of Yorkshire, England, where they lived. Patrick Bronte, the sisters' father, was a poor Irishman who became the parish clergyman of the small, isolated town of Haworth, Yorkshire. Bronte was somewhat strange and tended to be strict. His wife died in 1821 and her sister brought up the family out of duty, but with little love or understanding. The sisters went to several boarding schools where they received a better education than usual for girls at that time, but in a bad atmosphere. Few jobs were available for women at that time, and the Bronte sisters, except for occasional jobs as governesses or schoolteachers, lived their entire lives at home. They were shy, poor, and lonely, and occupied themselves with music, drawing, reading and ---above all---writing. Their isolation led to the early development of their imaginations. In 1846, under the male pen names of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, the sisters published a joint volume of poems.Although only two copies were sold, all three sisters soon had their first novels published. Charlotte Bronte's most famous novel Jane Eyre (1847) is largely _ . Through the heroine, Charlotte relived her hated boarding school life and her experiences as a governess in a large house. Rochester, the hero and master of the house, is fictional. Jane Eyre was enormously successful, but many readers were shocked that Rochester, who tried to make Jane his mistress, should be rewarded by marrying her. Some readers were also shocked because Jane wanted to be regarded as a thinking and independent person, rather than as a weak female. Charlotte Bronte wrote three other novels. The first one, The Professor, was not published until 1857, after her death. Shirley (1849) is set among the labour riots of the early 1800s. Villette (1853) the most popular of the three, is based on Charlotte's unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels. Question: We can infer from the passage that _ . - the three sisters were badly treated by their step-mother - The three Bronte sisters were brought up in Ireland - Haworth was suffering high unemployment at the time of the three Bronte sisters - writing was not intended for women in the 19th century in Britain
writing was not intended for women in the 19th century in Britain
