A broad definition of wetlands (1)_______ ecosystems such as lakes and rivers, underground aquifers, swamps, coral reefs, and many others; but also human-made artificial sites (2)_______ fishponds or reservoirs. Though they cover only around 6 per cent of the Earth’s land surface, 40 per cent of all plant and animal species live in or breed in them. Wetlands are also vital for human well-being and security.

According to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), these ecosystems are also the unsung heroes of the climate crisis. In fact, they (3)_______ more carbon than any other ecosystem, with peatlands alone storing twice (4)_______ all the world’s forests. Inland wetland ecosystems absorb excess water and help prevent floods and drought, something critical to help communities adapt to a changing climate.

The theme for the very first World Day is “Wetlands Action for People and Nature”.

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

For birds to survive, they must learn to live with and off humans, and those birds, like crows, sparrows, and mynahs, who do this to perfection, continue to thrive as our cities grow, whereas the purely wild birds, who depend on forests for life, are rapidly disappearing because forests are disappearing. If you have just a bit of garden and perhaps a guava tree, you will be visited by innumerable bulbuls, mynahs, tailor birds, parrots, etc. Or, if you own an old house, you will have to share it with pigeons and sparrows. And, if you have neither a garden nor a rooftop, you will still be visited by the crows.

Where man goes, the crow follows. He has learned to perfect the art of living off of humans. He will, I am sure, be the first bird on the moon, scavenging among the paper bags and cartons left behind by untidy astronauts. Crows favour the densest areas of the human population, and there must be one for every human. Many crows seem to have been humans in their previous lives; they possess all the cunning and sense of self preservation of man. At the same time, there are many humans who have obviously been crows, we haven't lost their thieving instincts.

Watch a crow sidling along the garden wall with an eye at the kitchen door and any attendant humans. He waits in the background till his chance comes, and then he pounces! I have even known a crow to make off with an egg from the breakfast table. The mynah, however, is more of a gentleman. He prefers fruit on the tree to scraps from the kitchen and visits the garden in expectation of handouts. He is quite handsome, too, with his bright orange bill. Although the blue jay is quite capable of making his living in the forest, he seems to show a preference for human haunts. He would rather perch on a telegraph wire because he finds it a better launching pad for his sudden rocket flights and aerial acrobatics!

Question:

What is the theme of the passage?

Option 1: Receding forests

Option 2: Survival of the birds in cities

Option 3: Alarming crow population

Option 4: Migration of birds

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

This year, I celebrated twenty-five years with a Seeing Eye dog. When I came to "The Seeing Eye' in 1983, I had no idea how much my canine partner would do for me. I can well remember walking down a country road independently, with a light step and joy in my heart, knowing that Novel- my first Seeing Eye dog- would keep me safe.

Since that glorious beginning, my dogs have seen me through two university degrees while living in four different cities in Canada and the United States. These competent and loving guides have shown me amazing skills - keeping me safe from traffic, fallen trees, new places and a host of unseen dangers. I have acquired self-confidence and a faith that anything is possible with my dog at my side. Over the years, my dogs have always been a source of pride and pleasure for me, and I brag about them to my family and friends.

Today, the way young Rambo manoeuvres me through the rush-hour traffic is wonderful. But it is all those little things like finding a table at a restaurant, finding empty cubicles at the physical therapy clinic where I work, that can mean so much more. Rambo is my sixth guide who arrived in June 2008 after Ruskin left me. He has already established himself in my heart. He is guiding me through another chapter in my life. I wish to thank all my friends at 'The Seeing Eye' for the support they have offered me over the years. I also thank them for being like family, most importantly, being there to train these furry soul-mates so well!
