III. READING (2.5 points)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Steve Irwin was an Australian television host, wildlife conservationist and zookeeper. Born on 22nd February 1962, in Australia, Steve dedicated his life to the preservation and promotion of wildlife.

Steve's passion for wildlife began at a young age when he helped his parents protect Australia's wild reptiles. They started their business by building Beerwah Reptile Park on 1.6 hectares of land in Queensland. Then, they tried to catch and relocate endangered kinds of reptiles like lizards, snakes and crocodiles to their park. As Steve grew older, his passion for reptiles and other animals deepened, leading him to pursue a career as a nature conservationist.

It was the TV series 'The Crocodile Hunter' that helped Steve become internationally famous. His show documented his thrilling encounters with crocodiles, snakes, spiders and countless other creatures. In some scenes, Steve got so close to a venomous snake that he got bitten, but he was well-prepared for that kind of accident and got the antidote instantly. With his strong enthusiasm and close approach to wild animals, he took his job seriously and successfully captured the viewers' attention, raising their awareness of conservation.

He had hosted other TV shows before he expanded Beerwah Reptile Park and renamed it the Australia Zoo. The zoo became an ideal place for Steve to educate and inspire others about the importance of the natural world. Moreover, he was a passionate supporter of wildlife conservation and helped carry out other conservation projects.

Tragically, on 4th September 2006, Steve was filming a documentary underwater in Australia's Great Barrier Reef when he was stabbed in the heart by a stingray. His untimely death shocked the world's conservation community. However, Steve's legacy of wildlife conservation continued to inspire later generations.
