Trees should only be prune when there is a good and clear reason for doing so
and,
2 fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away
of
3 overgrown and wanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged
by
4 the thought that more damage results in doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the
tree
5 to grow in its own way.
6 Firstly, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desire shape or size.
The
7 object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth
of
8 small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a specially shape.
Secondly,
9 pruning maybe done to help the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead
wood,
10 or branches rubbing with each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree

III. Read the passage and answer the questions 86-96 and do the tasks as directed.
A. Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable
resource: trees. Unlike the minerals and oil used to make plastic and metal, trees are replaceable.
Paper is also biodegradable, so it doesn’t pose as much threat to the environment when it is
discarded. While 45 out of every 100 tons of wood fibres used to make paper in Australia comes
from waste paper, the rest come directly from virgin fibres from forests and plantation. By world
standard this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33 percent waste paper.
Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time,
the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the
way for even greater utilization of used fibres. As a result, industry’s use of recycled fibres is
expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin fibres over the coming years.
B. Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packing and advances in
technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in
newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also
contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; For example, stationery
may be less white and of a rougher texture. There also needs to be supports from the community
for waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to
collectors but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted contaminants such as
staples, paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items.
C. There are technical limitations to the amount of paper which can be recycled and some
paper products cannot be collected for re-use. This includes paper in the forms of books and
permanent records, photographic paper and paper which is badly contaminated. The four most
common sources of paper for recycling are factories and retail stores which gather large amounts
of packing material in which goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted business
documents and computer output, paper converters and printers, and lastly households which
discard newspapers and packaging material. The paper manufacturer pays a price for the paper
and may also incur the collection cost.
