6.Read the following passagecarefullyand answer the questions it contains.

Our planet is in danger. Our environment is threatened. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the seas we fish and the soil we cultivate, the forests, animals and plants that surround us are at risk. New terms and words describe these problems: acid rain, the greenhouse effect, global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, desertification and industrial pollution. We change our environment. More and more gases and waste are escaping from our factories. Garbage, oil silage and detergents damage our rivers and seas. Forests provide us with wood and paper, but their loss causes soil erosion and also endangers wildlife.

The richest countries in the world are primarily responsible for industrial pollution. This is where most of the commercial electricity is produced. In developing countries, poverty causes people to alter their environment, overgrazing pastures, cutting down trees for new land and firewood, and cultivating barren soils for food.

According to the United Nations Environmental Protection Agency, an area of ​​forest the size of Sierra Leone disappears every year. Trees are felled for wood used in construction, furniture, paper, and fuel. They are also destroyed to create land for animals to graze on and new villages and cities to build on. But trees have many other important uses. Trees protect the land from heavy rains and their roots help hold the soil together. Forests are also home to many creatures. The Amazon rainforest is home to one-fifth of all bird species in the world. There may be plants and animals in our forests that could help in the discovery of new herbal medicines.

In order to save and preserve our beautiful world, we must act cooperatively. Individuals, communities, nations and international associations all have responsibilities. By learning to protect the natural environment, we can preserve the earth's resources for generations to come.
