How to stay alive in the Sahara Desert?Marco Rivera,our survival expert,has some tips.

Rain falls almost every day.Hundreds of mosses (grow and cover everything like a soft,green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way.They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground.The air is very damp,so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain.They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests.For example,tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys.They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do.Frogs have suckers (on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily.Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover,aren't they? Cloud forests are important to people.They give us healthy food crops,such as wild beans,tomatoes,potatoes and strawberries.Besides,they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily,the beautiful forests are in danger now.Why?Firstly,the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live where it's cool.It's difficult for them to find a suitable place to live in.Secondly,people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows.The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone,there must be a huge loss to humans.Save the cloud forests before it's too late! ()13.What does the underlined word "damp"mean in Paragraph 2? A.Dry. B.Sunny. C.Wet.
