    [25 marks]

    Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

    In recent years, there has been a general awareness of the importance of trees. A series of

    discoveries pointed to the fact that it was trees that cleaned up atmospheric pollution and also

    helped to bring rain. At first, people took these discoveries lightly. But, a decade later people

    realised that either we planted more trees or we would have a tough time in future. Then the

    whole world started numerous campaigns until the message finally got through: If you want it to

    rain, then you plant trees or else ...

    2 Trees are indeed useful to us. Humans and animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon

    dioxide. On the other hand, trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. This

    process helps to balance the amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the air. Factories

    throughout the world caused more problems for the trees. When they pollute the air with

    too much carbon dioxide, the trees clean it up and return the oxygen to us. Then people

    started to be cruel to the trees. Throughout the world, they cut down more and more trees

    to make way for agriculture and development. Hence, industries kept on increasing. This

    meant that we were producing more

    carbon dioxide now because the trees which can neutralise the air, were getting15

    fewer and fewer.

    3 Scientists warned us about the danger of cutting down the trees unnecessarily but few

    listened. In time, governments realised that they had to act responsibly and started tounderstand the importance of trees. Everyone feared the time when there would not

    be enough trees to maintain the delicate balance in the air. 20

    4 Trees also play an important role in the water cycle. They are an important link in the

    process of evaporation. The sun absorbs the moisture from the ground, lakes, rivers

    and seas. Then the water vapour condenses and falls down as rain again. Here, the

    trees actually help to balance the water vapour in the air. This important ability could

    have created greater awareness of how important trees are to us. There was less rain 25

    in many parts of the world. And people began to realise that if they wanted rain, they

    had to leave the trees alone. A simple solution to the problem was: If you destroy one tree,you have to plant twenty saplings in order to balance the water vapour in the air.

    5 Almost two decades ago, Malaysia took tree-planting seriously. A nationwide

    campaign made people more aware of trees and their importance. Thousands of trees 30

    were planted all over the country and green lungs were established. Acts were passed

    to protect trees. One such act was, if a person cut down a tree, he could be prosecuted

    and fined. This act applied even if the tree belonged to you.

    6 One other way the government helped to save the trees was to make the first Sunday

    in November every yearas the Tree Planting Day. On this day, thousands of trees 35were planted throughout the country. Even politicians and community leaders tookthe lead in this tree-planting effort. At this time too, there was greater awareness of

    the usefulness of trees.

    7 The public was also educated. In schools, students learnt about theimportance oftrees to the eco-system. Advertisements and information through themass media too 40 helped spread the important message that treeshelped man. For example, when trees are cleared, there are noroots to hold the soil firmly. This causes flooding. Besides that,insects, birds and animals lose their habitat. This could lead to animbalance in the food chain.

    8 We have to save the trees which are part of our natural

    heritage for future 45

    generations. Every small effort to save them counts. It is not howmuch we do for the environment that is important but our attitudetowards the environment that really matters.

    Again it came a throatless, inhuman shriek, sharp and short, very clear andcold. The note itself possessed a minor, metallic-quality that he had never heard before.

    Klausner looked around him, searching instinctively for the source of the noise. The

    woman next door was the only living thing in sight. He saw her reach down, take a rose

    stem in the fingers of one hand and snip the stem with a pair of scissors. Again he heard

    the scream.

    It came at the exact moment when the rose stem was cut.

    At this point, the woman straightened up, put the scissors in the basket with the

    roses and turned to walk away.

    "Mrs Saunders!" Klausner shouted, his voice shrill with excitement. "Oh! Mrs

    Saunders!"And looking round, the woman saw her neighbour standing on his lawn a

    fantastic, arm-waving little person with a pair of earphones on his head calling to her

    in a voice so high and loud that she became alarmed.
