Manic depression is a psychiatric illness that mainly affects the mood. A patient suffering from this disease will alternate between periods of manic excitement and extreme depression, with or without normal periods in between.

In the period of manic excitement, the mood elevation can become so intense that it can result in extended insomnia, extreme irritability, and heightened aggressiveness.

The rate at which the deforestation of the world is proceeding is alarming. In 1950 approximately 25 percent of the earth’s land surface had been covered with forests, and less than 25 years later the amount of forest land was reduced to 20 percent. This decrease from 25 percent to 20 percent from 1950 to 1973 represents an astounding loss of 20 million square kilometers of forests. Predictions are made that an additional 20 million square kilometers of forest land will be lost by 2020.
The majority of deforestation is occurring in tropical forests in developing countries, fueled by the developing countries’ need for increased agricultural land and the desire on the part of developed countries to import wood and wood products. More than 90 percent of the plywood used in the United States, for example, is imported from developing countries with tropical forests. Solutions to this expanding problem were being sought, in the form of attempts to establish an international regulatory organization to oversee the use of tropical forests. However, though deforestation rates have slowed a bit in recent years, financial realities make this unlikely to occur.
- The main purpose in this passage is to ______.
(B)explain where deforestation is occurring
(C)make the readers aware of a worsening world problem
(D)blame developing countries for deforestation
- Which of the following best describes the tone of the passage?
