Passage 6

In January 1985, when the Siena city council passed Regulation 375, a by-law which does not permit the use of private motor vehicles from the historic centre of this beautiful Tascan city, public opinion was extremely divided .

The new by-law was greeted enthusiastically by a number of interest groups. Environmentalists, worried about the polluting effects of cars ; lovers of the city’s medieval and Renaissance architecture, angered by the constant damage done to the priceless monuments of the centre; and ordinary people, tired of the noise and danger caused by cars andmotorL7ikes dashing through the narrow lanes, all rejoiced.

Not everyone was so happy, however. Shopkeepers were convinced that their trade would suffer. Fewer people would come into the centre, they believed, if they had to rely on public transport. They argued that deliveries would be more difficult and that the city would lose its character and become a museum without a heart.

In response to the shopkeepers’ concerns, The Siena Chamber of Commerce organized a protest demonstration. The local newspaper( part-owned by a large department store in the centre of the city)carried articles criticizing the decision while some people wrote to the city council, asking it to change its decision. Candidates standing for the elections to the city council which were to be held in December 1985 focused on a single issue: to change or maintain Regulation 375 .

The elections were won by the Social Democrats, a party which had run Its election campaign largely on the issue of the maintenance of the new by-law. The law stayed in force and the use of the motor car and motor-bike was not to return to the city centre.

A survey carried out in 1987 showed that traders’ earnings in the historic centre of Siena had increased by 15 percent in real terms since the new law had come into force. The local paper, which had been so hostile to Regulation 375, now proudly boasts that the centre of Siena has the safest, cleanest and quietest streets in Italy. Why, they asked in a recent newspaper article, don’t the backward citizens of Rome and Florence pass the same enlightened laws?

58 . The ordinary people supported the law because ______.

A. the air would be clean

B. they would be safer

C. they liked thc beauty of the old architecture

D. they would like to shop elsewhere
