About one percent of all the rainforests in the world are lost every year. We know this because satellites give us true pictures of the rainforests. Satellite pictures tell us, for example, that between 1978 and 1988, 170,000 square kilometers of the rainforests in the Amazon were lost.
When roads are made through the rainforests, people start to destroy the forests. Look at the satellite picture taken in 1976.You can see the new road going through the rainforest. The second picture shows the same forest in 1981.The rainforest in this part of Brazil has been destroyed very quickly.
Without the trees to protect the ground, the heavy rain quickly washes away the soil beside the roads.
The rainforests are rich in trees and animals, but the soil is not rich; it is very poor because it is very old and because the trees and plants contain all the good things that were once in the soil. Without the trees, the rain washes away the soil and nothing can grow there again.
Look at the picture of Madagascar. Thousands of trees once covered these mountains, and thousands of animals lived there. Nothing can grow there now, and no animals can live there.
Are we going to destroy all the rainforests of the world? Perhaps one day you will travel to a rainforest country, but will you see the wonderful plants and animals of the rainforests?

Some people like to get up late, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true.
Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising people had less disease than late rising people, and early rising people also looked healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh air. But air is never as fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work^ such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit of early rising. They have to make an effort (努力）to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise•”

1.People don't always agree on whether to e»et up early.

3. Early rising makes people happier according to the passage.
