Reading
Read the passage.
Many thousands of years ago, much of the world's land area was
covered in forests. Then, people have needed to clear the forests
by cutting down the trees in order to make rooms for their farms
and cities. Today, forests are still being cleared. There are many
reasons to preserve forests. One reason is that the trees inside the
forests help to remove carbon dioxide from the air and put
oxygen into the air. Too much carbon dioxide in the air might be
causing the world's temperature to increase quickly. Another
reason is to maintain many different species of plants and
animals. The forests are the home of a huge variety of plants and
animals, which will become extinct if the forests are destroyed.
For example, doctors believe that many diseases might be
treated by chemicals that are obtained from forest plants.
