Question

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don‘t know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.

Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.

           Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.

(Rừng mưa cung cấp cho chúng ta nhiều thứ. Trên thực tể rừng Amazon được gọi là “lá phối của hành tinh chúng ta” vì nó tạo ra 20% lượng oxy trên thế giới. Một phần năm lượng nước ngọt của hành tinh cũng được tìm thấy ở rừng mưa Amazon. Hơn nữa, một nửa số loài động vật, thực vật và côn trùng trên thế giới sống ở các khu rừng mưa trên Trái Đất. 80% thực phẩm chúng ta ăn có nguồn gốc ban đầu từ các khu rừng này. Ví dụ, dứa, chuối, cà chua, bắp, khoai tây, sô cô la, cà phê và đường đều đến từ rừng mưa nhiệt đới. 25% các loại thuốc chúng ta đang sử dụng khi bị ốm được làm từ các loài cây chỉ mọc ở đó. Một số loại thuốc này còn được sử dụng để chữa bệnh ung thư).
