C- Reading
5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Every second, 1 hectare of the world's rainforest is destroyed. That's
equivalent to two football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost
This alanning rate of destruction has serious
consequences for the environment; scientists estimate, for example, that
137 species of plant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to
logging. In British Columbia, where, since 1990, thirteen rainforest
valleys have been clear-cut, 142 species of salmon have already become
extinct, and the habitats of grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures
are threatened. Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the
government and cheap products of all kinds for consumers, so the
- government is reluctant to restrict or control it.

paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way,
Canadian forests could be preserved.
