READING

I. Read the article and choose the correct answer, a, b or c.

One of the famous registered charity is Beautiful Britain. BB, as it is better known, was formed in 2002 by the journalist Graham Hawkins and his actress wife.
BB has three areas of operations. Its first aim is to clean up Britain. BB argues that there is more waste ground and rubbish dumps in Britain than parks and playgrounds for children. We don’t need so many areas for rubbish. The problem is that we are not very organised at getting rid of rubbish and the government doesn’t like to spend money on cutting down on rubbish. BB hopes to clean up these rubbish areas and turn them into clean land for families and children.
Its second aim is to provide homes for the many dogs and cats that live on the streets. BB provides a service that takes pets off the streets, cleans them, feeds them and finds them new owners in new homes. Last year, 700 dogs and 500 cats were given new homes. The hardest time is always just after Christmas and the New Year. They say ‘Many people buy little dogs or cats as presents and then get bored or tired of looking after them. It’s our job to make sure they are not lost on the streets.’
Graham Hawkins and his wife are very media-friendly. They can be seen on chat shows and programmes, talking about the environment. BB also makes its own documentaries about the environment.
