Australia is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmaniaand numerous smaller islands. It is the world’s sixth-largest country by total area. Australia’s capital isCanberra, and its largest urban area is Sydney.
For about 50000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia wasinhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages classifiable into roughly 250 groups. After theEuropean discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Autralia’s eastern half was claimed byGreat Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New Wouth Walesfrom 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades, and by the 1850smost of thecontinent had been explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established. On 1 January1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Australia has since maintained astable liberal democratic political system. The population of 24 milion is highly urbanized and heavilyconcentrated on the eastern seaboard.Australia has the world’s 13th-largest economy and ninth-highest per capita income (IMF). With thesecond-highest human development index globally, the country ranks highly in quality of life, health,education, economic freedom, and civil liberties and political right

A forest is a special place. In the forest, surrounded by tall trees, you are cut off from the would around you, and filled with the sights and sounds of nature. Many fairy tales and legends are set in forests, which have been thought to hold magic and mystery. Today we know that these are only stories, but the forest is still a place that holds many of the world's most valuable resources.
Forest has always been important to people. In the past, many people got food by hunting forest animals and gathering wild plants. With the advance of civilization, fewer people now live in forests, but forest are more valuable than ever. Forests have an important economic value because they provide us with resources such as timber. Forests are vital to the environment because they clean the air we breathe. Forests are also treasured for their beauty

Without plants, there could be not life on earth. Man could not live without air of food and so he could not live without plants. The oxygen in the air we breathe comes from plants. The food we eat also comes from plants or from animals that eat plants. We build houses and make many(49) products from lumber cut from trees.

Almost all kinds of plants stay in one place, but nearly all species of animals move about under their own power. Most plants make their own food from air, sunglight, and water. Animals cannot make their own food. The basic units of all life, called cells, are also different in plants and animals. Most plants have thick wall that(55) a material called cellulost. Animal cells dl not have this material.

We live in a dynamic world, and habitats are always undergoing changes at all sorts of levels. However, natural changes usually occur at a slow pace so that impacts on individual species tend to be slight - at least in the short term
When the pace of change is greatly accelerated, there may be no time for individual species to react to new circumstances, and the effects can be disastrous. Briefly, this is the reason that rapid habitat loss is regarded as the chief cause of species endangerment, and there is no force more powerful in this regard than human beings. To some extent, every part of the earth has been affected by human activities, especially during this past century. This applies on virtually every scale, from the loss of microbes in soils that once supported tropical forests, to the extinction of fish and other aquatic species in polluted freshwater habitats, to changes in global climate caused by the release of greenhouse gases. From the perspective of an individual human lifetime, such changes may be hard to detect and their effects on individual species may be hard to predict. But the lesson is clear enough. For example, although many countries have had plans to grow many tropical forests, they are highly susceptible to destruction because the soils in which they grow are poor in available nutrients. Centuries may be required to bring back a forest that was cut down or burnt out in the space of a few years. Many of the world's severely threatened animals and plants live in such forests, and it is certain that huge numbers of them will disappear if present rates of forest loss continue. Habitats in the world are unchangeable and fixedly exist.
