--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question I: Read the following passage and answer the following questions. (1point) National Parks National park systems were started in the U.S. and Canada to protect places of great beauty, of scientific interest, or with unusual plants or animals. In 1872, the United States government passed a law naming Yell National Park, in Wyoming, as the first park to belong to all the people in the country. It is an area with geysers, hot springs, waterfalls and lakes. A few years later, Canada named Banff, in Alberta, its first national park. This park protects magnificent lakes, mountains, and forests. Both countries continued to add parks to their national park systems Lat some areas were named as national parks because they contained remains of Indian societies. Other parks protect areas that were important in the exploration and history of the two countries. Even though the North of Canada did not develop as fast as the South, more and more people realised it was important to save the large populations of wildlife before it was too late. Today national parks protect scenic and historical areas from Hawaii to Newfoundland. The parks cover millions of hectares in the mountains, the deserts, the forests, and along the coasts. Other countries have developed national park systems, too. People everywhere in the world can enjoy the natural beauty of their countries and know it is protected. And they know the parks will be there for the enjoyment of their children's children. 1.What were national park systerms started in the U.S and Canada for?  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.When was the first national park in the United States?  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.What does Canada's first national park. protect?  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.With national parks, What can people everywhere in the world do?  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question II: Circle the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following passage: (1,25 points) Books are written to provide knowledge and good books enrich the mind.
