D. Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
The Amazon rainforest is home to millions of different kinds of animals, plants, and birds.
Most of the world's fresh water is there and the forest plants clean the air every day.
Chico was born near the Amazon town, Brazil, in 1944 and started working when he was
young. Like the rest of his family, the boy got the money by taking a little rubber from the trees in
the forest. (The trees are not hurt when the rubber is taken.) The forest and the people lived
together comfortably and peacefully.
But some people thought too much about themselves and never thought about the future. In
1980, the forest was burnt to build roads, houses and factories. Chico was angry. He wanted to
save the forest! He talked to the government workers, but they didn't listen to him. They were still
clearing the rainforest to make quick, easy money. "Many voices are stronger than one," he
thought. So Chico held group meetings. He discovered that hundreds of people agreed with him.
His hope grew. More people came together to try to stop the forest workers. Large areas of the
forest were saved. Later he travelled to many other countries for international help. People soon
became interested in this brave Brazilian. In the next few years Chico's name became famous all
over the world. The government of Brazil started making plans to protect the large area of the
Amazon rainforest.
But as Chico's dreams started coming true, someone stopped him in the only possible way.
The famous forest fighter was murdered right outside his home on December 22, 1988. Chico's
life was cut short, but his brave new ideas continued in other people. One man changed the world's
i d e a s . A f t e r h i s
death, people around the world donated money to help Chico's work.
