1. Where are the rainforests?
    Rainforests cover six per cent of the Earth’s surface. There are rainforests in many parts of the world
but the biggest forests are in South America, Africa and South East Asia. There aren’t any rainforests in
Europe or North America.
2. What’s in the rainforests?
    About 75% of all the types of animals that we know come from rainforests. Thousands and thousands
of animals live in rainforests. There are many very beautiful birds, insects and reptiles. Many of them live
in the trees, more than 30 metres from the ground. There are also thousands of different plants-and lots of
tall trees! It is always hot in a rainforest and
the ground is always wet. It is also dark.
3. Why are the rainforests important?
    The rainforests are very important for us. We need them! The trees
and other plants in the forest help to make the air that we breathe. They
give us wood, rubber, fruits and many of our medicines.

4.__________________________   
    Unfortunately, in many places, the rainforests are in danger. For example, many years ago there was a
large rainforest in Java. There were thousands of different plants and animals in the forest, but now there
is nothing. People chopped down the trees because they wanted to grow rice. Many animals lived in the
rainforest. Some of them went to other parts of Java but many of them disappeared - forever. The same
thing is happening now in many other parts of the world. The rainforests are in danger.

閱讀理解。
     (1) Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we   make ourselves understood not 
just by words. 
 We send messages to the   people around us also by body movements. A smile and 
handshake(握手)show welcome.  Waving one's hand is to say "Goodbye".  Nodding   the head  
means agreement, while shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries,
 these body movements have the same meanings.       
     But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries.  For example,  nodding the head in some Asian countries means not "Yes" but "No".       
     When we speak a foreign language,  (2) to know the meanings of the body movements is important 
in the foreign countries.
  In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss (吻) each 
other when they meet.  Men don't kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, 
older people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. However, young people 
don't shake hands.  (3) In France, people shake hands in the office every morning.  French people kiss
 each other more often than English people when they meet or leave.
1. 將(1)處譯成漢語。
    ______________________________________________________
2. 將(2)處改寫句子,句意不變。
    ______________________________________________________
3. 將(3)處改為被動語態(tài)。
    ______________________________________________________
4. Do all body languages mean the same things in different countries?
    ______________________________________________________
5. Who kiss each other more often when they meet or leave, French people or English people?
    ______________________________________________________
