General
classification
Tree
is woody plant with a distinct main stem or trunk. At maturity, trees are
usually the tallest of plants and their height and single main stem differentiate
them from shrubs, which are shorter and have many stems.
Description
Perhaps
the most important ecological function of trees is protecting the land againts
erotion, the wearing away of topsoil due to wind and water. The trunks and
branches of trees provide protection from the wind, and trees roots help
solidify soil in times of heavy rain. In addition, trees and forests store
water reserves that act as buffers for the ecosystem during periods of drought.
In many areas the removal of forests has resulted in costly floods and
subsequent droughts. Trees and forests also provide habitat, protection, and
food for many plant and animal species. Then, they play an important role in
global climate and atmosphere regulation, the leaves of trees absorb carbon
dioxide in the air and produce oxigen that is necessary for life.
Description
Chemical
materials produced by trees are used in tanning leather and in the manufacture
of inks, medicines, dyes, and wood alcohol. Furthermore, trees are used in
landscaping homes, parks, and highway. In regions with extreme
climates, they serve as windbreaks or as shade against the sun.

Task 2
Text 2
Read the text below carefully and then answer
the questions!
Bird is animal with feathers and wings. Birds
are the only animals with feathers although some other animals, such as insects
and bats also have wings. Nearly all birds can fly and even flightless birds,
such as ostriches and penguins, evolved from flying ancestors.
Birds are members of group of animals called
vertebrates which possess a spinal column or backbone. Other vertebrates are
fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Many characteristics and behaviors of
birds are distinct from all other animals, but there are some simiralities. Like
mammals, birds have four chamber hearts and are warm blooded having a
relatively constant body temperature that enables them to live in a wide
variety of environtments. Like reptiles, birds develop from embryos in eggs
outside of the mother’s body
Highly developed animals, birds are sensitive
and responsive, colorful and graceful, with habits that excite interest and
inquiry. People have long been fascinated by birds, in part because birds are
found in a great abundance and variety in the sme habitats in which humans
thrive, and like people, most species of birds are active during the daylight
hours. Humans find inspiration in birds capacity for flight and in their
musical calls. Humans also find birds useful their flesh and eggs for food,
their feathers for warmth and their companionship. Perhaps a key basis for our
rapport with birds is the similarity of our sensory worlds, both birds and
humans rely more heavily on hearing and color vision than on smell. Birds are
useful indicators of the quality of the environtment, because the health of
birds populations, mirrors the health of our environment. The rapid decline in
bird populations and the accelerating extinction rates of birds in the world’s
forest, grasslands, wetlands, and islands are therefore reasons for great
concern.
