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 from 3 to 10.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from
anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals,
insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest,
but sometimes you don’t know it’s raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn’t always
reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent. They are found in
tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The
Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest
is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern
Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of
our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world’s oxygen. One fifth of the world’s fresh
water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals,
plants, and insects live in the Earth’srainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the
rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all
came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants
that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the
good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact,
1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to
make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless
valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of
rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent
language" of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to
say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the
United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be
firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on
the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about
two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get
uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans
touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the
other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding
something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-
up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one
hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you
are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index
