Question

【题目】 Tired of seeing so much garbage along the bank of River Schie in Rotterdam Dutch artist Tommy Kleyn decided to step up and do something about it. He alone organized a cleanup of the entire bank without leaving any garbage, proving that anyone can indeed make a difference if they want to.

Kleyn would cycle past a part of the Rotterdam riverway and see so much garbage along the bank. The situation troubled him, so he decided to spend 30 minutes every day cleaning the place up, filling one garbage bag a time.

The challenge has attracted people in countries The people came from as far as China to respond with their own photos and stories!"

“I want to show how easy it is to remove rubbish," he added. “Hopefully there will come a time when makers are thoughtful and their goods are no longer wrapped in layers of plastic."

Local officials praised Kleyn's work on the riverbank and helped him raise money for future projects as well. “People can sign up to help me one day a year.

The challenge has attracted people in countries. The people came from as far as China to respond with their own photos and stories!"”（ 克莱恩的行动在网上得到了很大的支持，他已经成功地把它变成了一个小运动。他建立了一个Facebook页面，通过这个页面，他向人们发出挑战，让他们每年花30分钟把一个垃圾袋装满垃圾。“感觉很好，你会有很大的不同，”他写道。“人们可以自由地在页面上分享他们‘之前’和‘之后’的照片。这个挑战吸引了很多国家的人甚至远自中国的人也分享他们的照片和故事!”）由此可以推断出，Kleyn的行动影响了很多人。结合选项，故选A。
