A

My name is Janine and I live in the middle of the rainforest, in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. In my mind, it is the most beautiful place. When I was 9 years old, my friend and I decided to make something to sell in order to make some pocket money. So we set up a stand near the road. Within just a few days, we knew that we should use the money to do something much more important－start saving the rainforest.

Ever since we were little children, we have learned that the rainforest is the home of many kinds of animals. It is also the home of other living things, such as trees, plants and insects. The rainforest is a great place and we want to do anything we can to save it. It is very important to save it, otherwise, the next generation(代) can’t see the rainforest. If it goes, our planet will go, too.

I believe that you can understand my meaning and you will support me. Join us and do your part in saving the rainforest, and the world! ( )50. Why did Janine set up a stand at first?

A. To get more pocket money. B. To save the planet.

C. To save the rainforest. D. To ask more children to join them
