Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
Trees are Nature's wonders and a great gift to mankind as well as to all those
who depend on them. While some dependants stay on the trees, others come
to them to rest or to feed. Still others use them to raise their offsprings. Humans
have used almost any and every tree to their benefit.
It is very sad that the same humans are destroying trees all over the world in
the name of ‘development’. This can be to create factories, new townships,
wider roads, railways, entertainment centres and so on. They do not realise
that they are making a big mistake. More trees would mean better rains, cooler
climates, and decreased use of air-conditioners and refrigerators. This would
lead to the reversal of global warming. What a wonderful thing to happen!
1. Why are trees considered as 'Nature's wonders'?
2. How does ‘development’ affect trees?
3. What do ‘more trees’ bring to us?
4. What a wonderful thing to happen!' What is the wonderful thing referred
to here?
5. Pick out the sentence that suggest ‘the selfish attitude of human beings’
from the passage.
