Read the passage and answer the question. The Beatles–still going strong. All over the world, teenagers know the tunes, and often some of the words too, of the Beatles’ most famous songs. Yesterday, Penny Lane, Hey Jude and When I am Sixty Four are among the best known. In Britain, the Beatles are still a big tourist attraction. Thousands of people go to Liverpool every year, to see where it all began. In Liverpool, they can visit the Beatles’ museum, take a “Beatles’ Tour” of the city (seeing places like Penny Lane), or visit the house where Paul MacCartney lived as a teenager. So why did the Beatles become so popular in the sixties, and why are they still so popular today? They became popular because they caught the spirit of a generation. Sixties teenagers were very different from fifties teenagers, they wanted to change things, and escape from the rather dull fifties. The Beatles came along, offering a new type of music, with new instruments (electric guitars). They were not the only group, of course; but they were the best, the most original. At first they copied rock ‘n’ roll songs from America. These were not well-known in England at the time, but it was easy to get rock ‘n’ roll records in Liverpool, a busy port city at the time. Sailors brought the most popular records from America, and these became popular with young musicians in Liverpool. Then the Beatles began writing their own songs and people liked them. When they became popular, they did not stop doing new things; instead, they pushed back the frontiers of pop/rock music in all directions. And where they went, others followed. Today people are still following them; and probably they will continue following for a long time to come. Question: People are attracted by the Beatles’

Graffiti. You can travel almost anywhere in the world, and you will probably see graffiti. Although graffiti is more common in big cities, today you may find it in almost any region or district, big or small. It's everywhere: on trains, walls, bridges and buildings. Love it or hate it but graffiti is part of the everyday urban world. Some people consider it art while others think it's vandalism. However, few of them really know how old graffiti is. The word graffiti itself probably comes from the old Greek verb. Writings on walls already existed in ancient Rome. The Romans cut graffiti on walls and monuments. It showed phrases of love, political ideas, simple thoughts, magic spells, alphabets, and famous quotations from literature. Modern graffiti dates back to the US of the 1960s. At that time for young people it was a form of self-expression and a political protest. Teenage groups in New York, for example, painted graffiti to mark their territory. Later, there started competitions between different groups. That meant that the quality of graffiti became more important than just the amount of it. Today graffiti has travelled all over the world. However, it is still an illegal art. It has been always painted on private or public property, like cars, trains, fences and house walls. As a result many people see it as vandalism. Besides, it's rather hard to clean graffiti paints, and cities spend millions every year on it. So, in most countries graffiti is forbidden. Based on the passage, people can notice this art in any ___

a)

farms

b)

sides

c)

items

d)

areas
