Read the following text to answer questions 23 to 26.

The petroleum we obtain today was formed under the ground for many millions of
years. In the past, small animals living in the sea sank to the sea bed when they died. Layers
of these creatures built up over millions of years, and the actions of heat, pressure and
bacteria turned their bodies into petroleum. The petroleum spread through porous rocks until
it came to impervious rocks. In this way, pockets of petroleum were formed beneath the
ground. Over many thousands of years, this land rose above the sea, and deposits of oil are
now found on or near land.
Oil companies employ scientists to study rocks and discover where oil is likely to be
found. If it seems likely that oil exists beneath their feet, they will drill a narrow hole to find
out whether there is any oil. They may be unsuccessful; if a new field is being explored, there
is one chance in nine of discovering petrroleum.

New Species Found in Papua

An international team of scientists says it has found a “lost world” in the Indonesian
jungle that is the home to dozens of new animals and plant species. “It’s a close to the Garden
of Eden as you’re going to find on Earth.” Said Bruce Beehler, co-leader of the group.
The group of Indonesian, American and Australian researchers trekked through an
area in the mist – shrouded Foja Mountains of north-western Papua. After being dropped off
by helicopter, the researchers spent nearly a month in the area, detailing the wildlife and
plantlife from the lower hills to near the summit of the Foja range, which reaches more than
2.000 m in elevation.
The team found four species of butterflies, twenty new species of frogs and a whole
series of remarkable plants including five new palms and a giant rhododendron flower. The
survey also found a honey-eater bird that was previously unknown to science and the first
new bird species discovered on the island of New Guinea since 1939. They also found the
breeding grounds of “lost” bird of paradise. The six-wired bird of paradise was first seen in
the late 19th century but hadn’t been found again since. The team took the first photographs of
the golden fronted bower bird displaying its plunge. Besides, the team also recorded a golden
mantled tree kangaroo, which was not known to be in this area and is near extinction in other
