Quiz 6	READING COMPREHENSION
R1.  Read the article. Add the missing sentences. Write the letters in the blanks.
Too much clutter? You asked me my “secret” for getting rid of clutter. Well, I found a great Web site called “Recycle-It”! You just go to the site and join the Recycle-It group in your city. Then, you can list anything you want to get rid of on the Web site. You can’t sell anything there. It’s only for things you want to donate or give away. You said you wanted to get rid of your old chair and make more room in your house. Well, go to the Web site and write a description of the chair. You might want to add a photo, too. Then, if someone wants the chair, they’ll e-mail you and ask for it. You decide who you want to give the chair to, and that person comes to pick it up. It’s really easy. I’ve gotten rid of all kinds of things-clothing, old computers, books – and it was much easier than selling them at a yard sales. I’m even thinking about getting rid of my old car, but I’m not sure yet. I’ve got to make up my mind about that. I have come advice for you if you decide to join. Everything on the Recycle-It site is free, and you’ll see a lot of great things that other people are giving away. You’d better not take anything, though. You’ll just have more clutter! Catch you later, Sara
Answer the questions. 1.  What is Sara writing to Mary about? ______________________________________________________  2.  What kind of things do people put on the Web site? __________________________________________  3.  Why does Mary want to relieve of her old chair? ______________________________________________ 4.  What advice does Sara give Mary about the site? _____________________________________________
