Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions.

The tropical rain forests are a delight to people who love nature. The forests are beautiful

woodlands which receive plenty of rain. Many natural resources can be derived from tropical rain

forests. Such natural resources are fruits, vegetables and rare herbs. Sometimes, the rain forests are

cleared for valuable timber. Hardwood like teak, mahogany and rosewood are some of the popular

timbers that are exported. These woods are then used to make houses and furniture.

Nowadays, tropical rain forests are in danger of extinction. Each year millions of acres of rains

forests are cleared to make way for population growth and agriculture. This results in the destruction of

millions of plants. In turn, this destruction causes some types of animals to lose their natural habitat.

Because of

this, many species of plants and animals are becoming extinct. It is important for us to save

the tropical rain forests. Once a tropical rain forest is destroyed, it will take hundreds of years before the

forest can be re-established.
