阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Alex Lin, a 21-year-old, started to clear the world of e-waste as an ordinary boy. One day, Lin was just reading the newspaper when he noticed something about e-waste and began to realize how harmful the chemicals in it are to the environment. And so Lin decided to take action.
At 11 years old, he and his friends from Rhode Island thought up Project WIN (Westerly Innovations Network). To get started, Lin got help from community services to spread the message about e-waste. That’s when Lin and his team decided to save the parts of old computers to create new ones for kids in developing countries. That way, they could help recycle (回收) computers while helping other children from poorer countries experience technology! They ended up transforming 300,000 pounds of e-waste into new computers for developing countries!
And yet, Alex Lin had a bigger goal to achieve. He realized that the only way to make recycling e-waste a habit was to make a law stopping people dumping (倾倒) e-waste. Then Lin met with Arthur Handy, the state representative (议员), discussing the e-waste bill for Rhode Island. Unfortunately the bill did not pass. “We felt so sad,” says Brodie, a friend of Lin’s.
But Lin and his team didn’t give up. They wrote articles for newspapers and even made speeches in public. Soon, local media got Lin’s story and helped spread the word to millions of people in the area. Finally, the House and Senate of Rhode Island passed the bill after seeing the 400 names on the petition (请愿书) Lin and his team had collected. They were excited. They had finally made it!
After the huge success, Lin decided that he could do even more for the world. And with that, his local WIN organization grew into the global WIN Network, encouraging other countries to take action on e-waste.
1. What led Lin to start to clear e-waste?
A. A news report on the topic.
B. The influence from his community.

A. They made it into new electronics.
B. They sold it to the developing world.
C. They taught people how to use electronics.
D. They tried to make a law forbidding e-waste dumping.
3. How did the work of getting the bill passed go?
A. It went as well as expected.
B. It was slowed by the local media.
C. It was difficult but it was worth it.
D. It was fruitless and let people down.
