It is also possible thatsome of these ideas will be mistaken.首句引入主题:Rainforesto For example后不用看。
看到末句,出现It is also possible that观点句型，J=L伴有also,说明最后两句是并列的观点句：1. Children hold ideas about rainforests2. They are mistaken.固本文主题或问题就是儿童关于热带雨林看法的对错Many studies haveshownthatchildren harbour misconceptions about 'pure； curriculum scienee.These misconceptions do not remain isolated but become incorporated into a multifaceted, but organized, con ceptual framework, making it and the comp orient ideas, some of which are erroneous, more robust but also accessible to modification. These ideas may be developed by children absorbing ideas through the popular media. Sometimes this informmtion may be erroneous. It seems schools may not be providi ng an opport unity for childre n to express their ideas and so have them tested and refined by teachers and their peers・Despite the extensive coverage in the popular media of the destructi on of rainf orests, little formal in formation is available about children's ideas in this area. The aim of the present study is to start to provide such information, to help teachers design their educational strategies to build upon correct ideas and to displace misconceptions and to plan programmes in environmental studies in their schools.第二段Literature Reviewo第-句话就是观点句，说明以前的研究说明儿童对 于热带雨林的知识是错误的第三段调查研究开始(做问卷调查)。
调查过程(五个问题)The studysurveys children，s scientific knowledge and attitudes to rainforests.Sec on dary school children were asked to complete a questionnaire containing five open・fo「m questions.The most frequent resp on ses tot he first questi on were descripti ons which are self・evident from the term 'rainforest'. Some children described them as damp, wet or hot.The second questionconcerned the geographical location of rainforests. The comm on est responses were continent or countries: Africa (given by 43% of children), South America(30%),Brazil(25%). Some children also gave more general locations, such as being near the Equator.Responses toquestion threeconcerned the importance of rainforests. The dominant idea, raised by 64% of the pupils, was that「ainforests provide animals with habitats・ Fewer students responded that rainforests provide plant habitats, and even fewer mentioned the indigenous populations of rainforests・ More girls (70%) and boys (60%) raised the idea of rminforest as animal habitats.Similarly, but at a lower level, more girls (13%) than boys (5%) said that rainforests provided human habitats. These observations are gen erally con siste nt with our previous studies of pupils' views about the use and conservation of rainforests, in which girls were shown to be more sympathetic to animals and expressed views which seem to place an intrinsic value on non-human animal life・The fourth questionconcerned the causes of the destruction of rainforests. Perhaps encouragingly, more than half of the pupils(59%) identified that it is human activities which are destroying rainforests, some personalizing the responsibility by the use of terms such as *we are5. About 18% of the pupils referred specifically to logging activity. One misconception, expressed by some 1 0% of the pupils, was that acid rain is responsible for rainforest destruction; a similar proportion said that pollution is destroying rainforests. Here, children are confusing rainforest destruction with damage to the forests ofWestern Europeby these factors・ While two fifths of the students provided the informmtion that the rainforests provide oxygen, in some cases this response also embraced the misconception that rainforest destruction would reduce atmospheric oxygen, making the atmospherein compatible with huma n life on Earth.In answer tot he final quest ionabout the importance of rainforest conservation, the majority of children simply said that we need rainforests to survive. Only a few of the pupils (6%) mentioned that rainforest destruction may contribute to global warming. This is surprising considering the high level of media coverage on this issue・ Some children expressed the idea that the conservation of rainforests is not important.找到这些并列的问题就可以了分析综合结果：The results of this studysuggestthat certain ideas predom in ate in the thinking of children about rainforests. Pupils5 responsesindicatesom。
