Large animals that inhabit the desert have e`volved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat. One adaption is to be light in color, and to ref`lect rather than ab`sorb the Sun's rays.Desert mammals also
A`nother s`trategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be `fatal for non adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 `percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight. An equally important adaption is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to hydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxi`cation. The tolerance of water loss is of `obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when ext

Read the passage carefully then answer the questions below:
Every day of the year throughout the world, about twenty million paper bags and newspapers are screwed and thrown away. Making paper requires a lot of wood pulp and the work of millions of workers. Many countries have had plans to recycle waste paper to save money and labor. In countries where there is the cooperation of the public, paper mills recycle as much as sixty percent of waste paper. Their simple work is to take away the ink, crush it up and make it into pulp again. For every ton of recycled newsprint, twelve trees can be saved. We can insist that the more paper people save, the more trees are preserved.
1. How many paper bags and newspapers are thrown away every day?
2. What have many countries done to save money and labor in making paper?
3. What do paper mills do to reuse waste paper?
4. How many trees can be saved for every ton of recycled newsprint?
5. Is recycling waste paper important?

We are all destroying the Earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. There is so much smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of world’s cities. We have cut down so many trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world. As a result, farmers in parts of Africa can not grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice. Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For instance, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many. However, it isn’t enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us now. Save the Earth. This is too important to ignore.
