Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given under it.

Have you ever thought why should we plant and protect trees? Trees are very useful to us. They are called the ‘green gold’. Trees give us cool and refreshing shade. They give us fruits to eat and firewood to burn. We build houses and make furniture with the wood of trees. There are some medicinal plants which are used to prepare medicines. They also give us things like paper, rubber and oil etc. Moreover, they supply us two most important necessities of life: oxygen and food.

They protect our environment from getting polluted. Trees cause rainfall too. They make the air cool and this cool air makes the rain clouds produce rain. Trees prevent soil from being washed away and check the soil erosion. They check the free flow of water and their roots hold the soil together. They help to prevent sudden floods. They refresh our eyes and our minds.
