The Amazon rainforest is in South America. It is the world’s biggest rainforest. It covers 5.5 million square kilometers, about half the size of China! According to a new study, the Amazon rainforest may become grassland in a few years. Climate (气候) changes and human activities make it “sick”. Usually, the rainforest can get better by itself. But now, it feels too “tired” to get better. The trees may die and the rainforest could turn into a hot, dry grassland.

① ________

The Amazon is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, three droughts (干旱) have hit the rainforest. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire.

On top of this, people cut down rainforest trees for wood. They burn the forest to make farmland. They clear trees to find minerals (矿产). All these activities have caused about 17 percent of the rainforest to disappear.

② ________

The Amazon is like the lungs (肺) of our planet. The rich plants there take carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the air and make oxygen (氧气). They make more than 20 percent of the planet’s oxygen. If the Amazon “dies”, there will be more carbon dioxide and our Earth will become even hotter.

The Amazon is also home to over 3 million animals and plants. Many of them can’t live anywhere else. We would probably just disappear.

A．Because it is the biggest rainforest in the world.

B．Because people cut down rainforest trees for money.

C．Because the trees in the rainforest can easily catch fire.

D．Because climate changes and people do badly to the rainforest heavily.

A．To grow better.	B．To have more plants.
C．To become impossible to see.	D．To be more comfortable to live in.

3. Match the title with each paragraph.
