To solve the problem, we need to skim-read the article on the worksheet and extract the required information for each question. Since the actual article is not provided in the image, I will outline how you can approach solving this type of task step by step.

Steps to Solve:

1. Skim-Read the Article: Quickly scan through the article to identify key sections or paragraphs that address each question.
2. Locate Relevant Information: Focus on finding specific numbers, percentages, or details related to each question.
3. Record the Answers: Write down the answers in the spaces provided next to each question.

General Guidelines for Each Question:

Here’s a breakdown of what you should look for in the article:

#### 1. The percentage of global greenhouse gases caused by deforestation.
- Look for a section discussing the sources of greenhouse gases and their contributions.
- Identify the percentage attributed specifically to deforestation.

#### 2. The percentage of global greenhouse gases caused by transport and industry.
- Find a section discussing emissions from different sectors.
- Identify the combined percentage of greenhouse gases from transport and industry.

#### 3. The number of people who would produce the same amount of CO2 by flying from the UK to New York as one day of deforestation.
- Search for a comparison between CO2 emissions from air travel and deforestation.
- Note the number of people equivalent to one day of deforestation emissions.

#### 4. The two countries which emit the largest amount of greenhouse gases.
- Locate a section discussing global greenhouse gas emissions by country.
- Identify the top two emitting countries.

#### 5. The number of tons of CO2 entering the atmosphere every year from deforestation.
- Find data on annual CO2 emissions from deforestation.
- Note the total tons of CO2 emitted annually.

#### 6. The percentage of life on Earth present in tropical forests.
- Look for information about biodiversity in tropical forests.
- Identify the percentage of Earth's species found in these forests.

#### 7. The amount of the Earth's surface covered by tropical forests.
- Search for statistics on the geographical coverage of tropical forests.
- Note the percentage or area (e.g., square kilometers) covered.

#### 8. The number of people dependent on the tropical forests for food.
- Find a section discussing the role of tropical forests in human livelihoods.
- Identify the number of people relying on these forests for food.

Example Solution Format:

If the article provided the following information:
- Deforestation causes 15% of global greenhouse gases.
- Transport and industry together cause 50% of global greenhouse gases.
- One day of deforestation is equivalent to the CO2 emissions of 1 million people flying from the UK to New York.
- The top two emitting countries are China and the United States.
- Deforestation emits 10 billion tons of CO2 annually.
- Tropical forests host 50% of Earth's species.
- Tropical forests cover 7% of the Earth's surface.
- 1 billion people depend on tropical forests for food.

The answers would be filled in as follows:
1. 15%
2. 50%
3. 1 million
4. China and the United States
5. 10 billion tons
6. 50%
7. 7%
8. 1 billion

Final Answer:

\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
1. & 15\% \\
2. & 50\% \\
3. & 1 \text{ million} \\
4. & \text{China and the United States} \\
5. & 10 \text{ billion tons} \\
6. & 50\% \\
7. & 7\% \\
8. & 1 \text{ billion} \\
\end{array}
