TREES FOR LIFE

Trees are amongst the biggest and longest-living things on Earth, some dating back longer than the oldest buildings. But as well as being nice to look at, trees also play an important role in improving the quality of our lives.

On a worldwide 6.1sizearearangescale, forests help to slow down the effects of global warming by using up the gas known as carbon dioxide and giving 6.2outawayinup the oxygen we need to breathe. At local neighborhood level, trees also bring important environmental benefits. They 6.3offercontainincludeapply shade and shelter, which in turn reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool nearby buildings; at the same time, they also remove other impurities from the air we breathe.

Urban trees are especially important 6.4even thoughbutalthoughbecause for many people they provide the only daily contact with the natural world. What's more, urban trees also provide a home for birds, small animals, and butterflies. Without the trees, we would lose the pleasure of seeing these creatures in our cities. Regrettably, however, trees in cities are now coming under 6.5riskdangerthreatwarning. There is a limit to the level of pollution they can put up with and, down at street level, their roots are being seriously disturbed by the digging needed to make way for modern telephone, television, and other cables.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

There are a lot of myths about the human brain. We are going to tell you a little about these myths, and we are also going to give you the truth.

One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of that myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we will be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it is absolutely not true. The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function. Modern scientists call the “10 percent myth” ridiculous.

The other most popular myth is about being “right-brained” or “left-brained”. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains tend to be more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains tend to be better at maths and science. This myth is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it is also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally.

It is true that we use different parts of our brains for different things: We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more.

We have talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It is also the fattest organ in your body. Another interesting fact about the brain is that around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.

This article is mainly about _____.

What did the study at the American university say?

What percentage of the brain is composed of water?
