TEXT’S TONE and AUTHOR’S ATTITUDE & CAUSATIVE 10

Passage 1
Up to now, confessions that have been obtained from defendants in a hypnotic state have not been
admitted into evidence by courts in the United States. Experts in the field of hypnosis have found that such
confessions are not completely reliable. Subjects in a hypnotic state may confess to crimes they did not commit
for one of two reasons. Either they fantasize that they committed the crime or they believe that others want
them to confess.
A landmark case concerning confession obtained under hypnosis went all the way to the US Supreme
Court. In the case of Layra vs Denno, a suspect was hypnotized by a psychiatrist for the district attorney; in a
post-hypnotic state the suspect signed three separate confessions to a murder. The Supreme Court ruled that
the confessions were invalid because the confessions had been the only evidence against him.

Passage 2
The rate at which the deforestation of the world is proceeding is alarming. In 1950, approximately 25
of the earth’s land surface had been covered with forests, and less than twenty five years later the amount
of forest land was reduced to 20%. This decrease from 25bpercent to 20 percent from 1950 to 1973 represents
an outstanding 20 million square kilometres of forests. Predictions are that an additional 20 million square
kilometres will be lost by 2025.
The majority of the deforestation is occurring in tropical forests in developing countries, fuelled
by the developing countries ‘ need for increased agricultural land and desire of the part of the developed
countries to import wood and wood products. More than 90% of the plywood used in the United States,
for example, is imported from developing countries with tropical rain forests. By the mid-1980s, solutions to
this problem were being sought, in the form of attempts to establish an international regulatory organization to oversee
the use of tropical forests.
