READING . Read this text and do Task A and B 5 x 0.2= 1 mark

A
Humans are the principal cause of plants and animals becoming endangered or extinct. An
endangered species has so few members that the species may die out. Unless something is done
to protect an endangered species, they will be gone forever. We will not have any more of that
kind of plant or animal on Earth.

B
The most dangerous thing humans do to endangered animals is destroy their habitats. This is
usually because we do not pay very close attention. When there is an area of land we want to
use for different purposes, we don’t notice or see what is already living there.

C
Thousands of acres of tropical forest, or rainforest, have been destroyed by humans. People
wanted the land and wood for building projects. A lot of plants and animals have been lost in
this one habitat alone. Many of the organisms that live in the tropical rainforest do not live
anywhere else. We are just beginning to discover medicines and other resources there. We may
lose that knowledge if more species die out.

D
Most of us don’t live near a tropical rainforest. However, that does not mean we are far away
from habitat destruction. When a town expands, more houses and businesses are built. The town
pushes the local wildlife farther from its natural habitat. Wetlands and grasslands are unique
habitats that are especially in danger. Thankfully, people are more aware of the problem. This is
the first step toward protecting habitats.
