Read the following text. Then answer the questions.
The Importance of Rainforests
Rainforests are one of the most complicated environments on Earth. They are recognized
worldwide as containing the richest source of plants and animals and believed to contain nearly
three-quarters of all the varieties of life on Earth. This is remarkable because rainforests cover
only about six per cent of Earths land surface.
Rainforest are the oldest major ecosystem, having survived climate changes for more
than one million years. They provide habitats for more species of plants, animals, insects and
birds than any other environment found on our planet. Scientists estimate that between 60 and 90
per cent of all species of life are to be found in rain forests. Unfortunately, the widespread
destruction of many of the worlds rainforests has caused a significant decline in the number of
plant and animal species on earth.
Rainforests in influence both our local and global climates. For example, between 50 and
80 per cent of the moisture in the air above rainforests comes from the rainforests trees. If large
liii
areas of these lush rainforests are cleared, the average rainfall in the area will drop. Eventually,
the areas climate will get hotter and drier. This process could convert rainforests into a sparse
grassland or desert.
Rainforests are also able to absorb over 90 per cent of the rainfall in their leaves and
mosses. By doing this, they are able to slow down water run-off by gradually releasing the water
over time into streams and drivers. This helps to control soil erosion and flooding.
Rainforests are vital to the Earth in helping to recycle carbon and oxygen. Carbon dioxide
(CO2) is the gas put into the air globally by humans, mainly by the burning of fossil fuels (for
example in cars and factories ). Rainforests are able to remove carbon dioxide from the air and
return oxygen in its place. This is why our global rainforests are often called the Earths lungs.
Rainforests are major producers of the Earths oxygen. In fact, scientists believe that
nearly 50 per cent of the Earths oxygen is produced by rainforests in the Amazon region alone.
Nearly 40 per cent of the worlds carbon is contained in the trees of the rainforests. As
rainforests are cut down and burned, carbon dioxide is released into the Earths atmosphere.
Eventually, as this gas builds up the atmosphere, leading to what scientists call the enhanced
greenhouse effect.
To sum up, the role of the rainforest is essential for human life. It creates equilibrium in
our environment and its resources are significant for human beings survival.

APPENDIX 3
INSTRUMENT TEST (Post-Test before testing validity)
Read the following text. Then answer the questions.
Rainforests as Economic Reserves
We discovered previously that rainforests are essential to our life on Earth. They also
provide a rich variety of economic resources that are used all over the world. This presents
countries with a serious dilemma. Rainforests are used a number of economic purposes, ranging
from agricultural to urban and industrial use. The dilemma facing many rainforest-rich countries,
including Australia, is that, as these economic demands grow, the planers rainforests are placed
under increasing threat of destruction. The economic resources enormous. Here are just some of
the more important ones.
Foods
Nearly 50 percent of the worlds food supplies originate in rainforest areas. Items that we
commonly buy from the supermarket, such as bananas, pineapples, mangoes, peanuts,
macadamia nuts and cashews, all originated in rainforests. Many popular foods like rice, corn
and maize also come from the rainforests, as do tea, coffee, cocoa and sugar.
Recreation
Rainforests are becoming increasingly popular places for people to visit because they are
seen as areas of wilderness and natural beauty. People take part in activities such as fishing,
bushwalking, rock climbing and four-wheel driving. The overuse of rainforests for tourist
activities has led governments to pass laws restricting activities in these forests. The Daintree
region in northern Queensland is one area where the government has passed laws regulating
rainforest activities.
Medicines and drugs
Many medicines and drugs sold by the local pharmacist come from plants that grow in
rainforests. For example, medicines used for travel sickness, headaches, stomach upsets, skin
diseases and leukemia all come from the rainforest. In fact, nearly 40 per cent of all medicines
sold in chemists.
lxii
Industrial and building products
Rainforests provide many products used by the community for urban development. These
include timber converted into building materials for house forming furniture, fencing, panel
products and flooring. Rainforests also supply wood chip used in making cardboard, toilet tissue
and the pulp used for same papers.
Many industrial products also originate from the rainforests. Spices, rubber, oils, waves,
dyes and gums are just some examples. Even everyday products such as toothpaste, cosmetics,
treys, paints and deodorants are produced from plants growing in rainforest areas.
Sustainable development
Scientists believe that over 200 000 square kilometers of rainforest are being destroyed
each year for economic purpose. Most people would acknowledge the economic importance of
the worlds rainforests. However, there needs to be a balance between the way we are currently
using our rainforests and the future availability of these resources. This is now commonly being
referred to as ecologically sustainable development.
For example, conservationists, governments and industry groups believe that timber
should be harvested from forests in a sustainable way. This should be done without permanently
damaging the home of other plants and animals, the soil or rivers and creeks. This is a very
complex task. It involves ensuring trees that are removed from the forest are replaced by
seedlings that will form of the new forest.

The Importance of Rainforests
Rainforests are one of the most complicated environments on Earth. They are recognized
worldwide as containing the richest source of plants and animals and believed to contain nearly
three-quarters of all the varieties of life on Earth. This is remarkable because rainforests cover
only about six per cent of Earths land surface.
Rainforest are the oldest major ecosystem, having survived climate changes for more
than one million years. They provide habitats for more species of plants, animals, insects and
birds than any other environment found on our planet. Scientists estimate that between 60 and 90
lxx
per cent of all species of life are to be found in rain forests. Unfortunately, the widespread
destruction of many of the worlds rainforests has caused a significant decline in the number of
plant and animal species on earth.
Rainforests in influence both our local and global climates. For example, between 50 and
80 per cent of the moisture in the air above rainforests comes from the rainforests trees. If large
areas of these lush rainforests are cleared, the average rainfall in the area will drop. Eventually,
the areas climate will get hotter and drier. This process could convert rainforests into a sparse
grassland or desert.
Rainforests are also able to absorb over 90 per cent of the rainfall in their leaves and
mosses. By doing this, they are able to slow down water run-off by gradually releasing the water
over time into streams and drivers. This helps to control soil erosion and flooding.
Rainforests are vital to the Earth in helping to recycle carbon and oxygen. Carbon dioxide
(CO2) is the gas put into the air globally by humans, mainly by the burning of fossil fuels (for
example in cars and factories ). Rainforests are able to remove carbon dioxide from the air and
return oxygen in its place. This is why our global rainforests are often called the Earths lungs.
Rainforests are major producers of the Earths oxygen. In fact, scientists believe that
nearly 50 per cent of the Earths oxygen is produced by rainforests in the Amazon region alone.
Nearly 40 per cent of the worlds carbon is contained in the trees of the rainforests. As
rainforests are cut down and burned, carbon dioxide is released into the Earths atmosphere.
Eventually, as this gas builds up the atmosphere, leading to what scientists call the enhanced
greenhouse effect.
To sum up, the role of the rainforest is essential for human life. It creates equilibrium in
our environment and its resources are significant for human beings survival.

Rainforests as Economic Reserves
We discovered previously that rainforests are essential to our life on Earth. They also
provide a rich variety of economic resources that are used all over the world. This presents
countries with a serious dilemma. Rainforests are used a number of economic purposes, ranging
from agricultural to urban and industrial use. The dilemma facing many rainforest-rich countries,
including Australia, is that, as these economic demands grow, the planers rainforests are placed
under increasing threat of destruction. The economic resources enormous. Here are just some of
the more important ones.
Foods
Nearly 50 percent of the worlds food supplies originate in rainforest areas. Items that we
commonly buy from the supermarket, such as bananas, pineapples, mangoes, peanuts,
macadamia nuts and cashews, all originated in rainforests. Many popular foods like rice, corn
and maize also come from the rainforests, as do tea, coffee, cocoa and sugar.
Recreation
Rainforests are becoming increasingly popular places for people to visit because they are
seen as areas of wilderness and natural beauty. People take part in activities such as fishing,
bushwalking, rock climbing and four-wheel driving. The overuse of rainforests for tourist
activities has led governments to pass laws restricting activities in these forests. The Daintree
region in northern Queensland is one area where the government has passed laws regulating
rainforest activities.
Medicines and drugs
Many medicines and drugs sold by the local pharmacist come from plants that grow in
rainforests. For example, medicines used for travel sickness, headaches, stomach upsets, skin
diseases and leukemia all come from the rainforest. In fact, nearly 40 per cent of all medicines
sold in chemists.
Industrial and building products
lxxvii
Rainforests provide many products used by the community for urban development. These
include timber converted into building materials for house forming furniture, fencing, panel
products and flooring. Rainforests also supply wood chip used in making cardboard, toilet tissue
and the pulp used for same papers.
Many industrial products also originate from the rainforests. Spices, rubber, oils, waves,
dyes and gums are just some examples. Even everyday products such as toothpaste, cosmetics,
treys, paints and deodorants are produced from plants growing in rainforest areas.
Sustainable development
Scientists believe that over 200 000 square kilometers of rainforest are being destroyed
each year for economic purpose. Most people would acknowledge the economic importance of
the worlds rainforests. However, there needs to be a balance between the way we are currently
using our rainforests and the future availability of these resources. This is now commonly being
referred to as ecologically sustainable development.
For example, conservationists, governments and industry groups believe that timber
should be harvested from forests in a sustainable way. This should be done without permanently
damaging the home of other plants and animals, the soil or rivers and creeks. This is a very
complex task. It involves ensuring trees that are removed from the forest are replaced by
seedlings that will form of the new forest.
Part I
Still in pairs, state whether each of these statements is true of false (T-F)
51. Rainforests are unimportant to our life on Earth.
