Forests cover nearly a third of all land on Earth. Here are three main reasons why forests are so
important.

Firstly, they are home to various species, including millions of humans. Forests, especially tropical
rainforests, provide organic living habitats for nearly half of the world’s land-based species of animals,
plants, and insects. About three hundred million people live in forests worldwide, of whom about sixty
million depend almost entirely on native woodlands. Many millions more live along or near the forest
fringe.

Secondly, forests keep us cool. Trees create vital oases of shade on the ground and help buildings stay
cool. This reduces the need for electric fans or air conditioners. Large forests can regulate temperatures
in regions, including cities. Trees and forests also have another way to beat the heat: they remove much
of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This helps fight climate change.

Finally, they prevent flooding and soil erosion. Forests absorb much of rainwater and slow down its
fast flow. This helps prevent soil erosion as well as protect surrounding communities from landslides
and floods.

Question 36. What is the main idea of the text?

A. The ways forests provide us food B. The process of photosynthesis
C. The importance of forests D. The role of decomposers in the ecosystem
Question 37. What do forests provide for fifty percent of the world’s on land species?
A. animals and plants B. organic living habitats
C. plants and insects D. native woodland

Question 38. Which description below is closest in meaning to the word “fringe”?
A. a line around a forest B. the centre of a forest
C. an area surrounded by a forest D. an area which is very far from a forest

Question 39. How do forests contribute to fighting the heat?

A. By reducing the need for electric fans
B. By fighting climate change
C. By absorbing much of rainwater
D. By removing much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
