Выпишите из текста 2 предложения с модальными глаголами и их эквивалентами. forests are important components of geographic environment and biosphere. they can be useful in many ways. forests give us wood and other valuable raw materials and they are a vital part of the biosphere. forests regulate the water balance, the climate, the chemical composition of the air, the hydrological conditions in rivers, protect against soil erosion. approximately 50 to 200 liters of water may be stored under one square meter of forest soil. huge quantities of water are retained by vast mountainous forests where precipitation is high, thus preventing erosion and flood damage. forest trees filter dust and soot out of the polluted air. the air in the forest therefore contains 200 to 1000 times less pollutants than are found over industrial cities. trees, moreover, produce oxygen. twenty mature trees furnish the oxygen needed by one single human being. spruce trees especially absorb the toxic sulfur dioxide. their large needle and branch surfaces filter the poison out of the air. this is detrimental if poison concentrations are too high. trees start declining, growth slows down, and they finally die. protective forest planting is of great importance on agricultural land. it helps to raise crop yields and prevent soil erosion. besides, the forest offers opportunity for pleasure and rest for both young and old. the crown canopy prevents extremes of temperature, and therefore on hot summer days and during extremely cold winter nights temperatures are mitigated considerably.

                                              Unlucky or Dumb?

A young man decided to rob a car repair shop. He entered the shop around 8 in the morning, wearing a mask and carrying a gun. When he demanded money, one of the employees told him that all the money was locked in a safe that only the shop manager could open. But the manager hadn't come to work yet.

So the criminal left two phone numbers for them to call him back when the manager came. He threatened to come back to the shop and shoot all the employees if they didn't call him.

And they did call him back... but only after the police had arrived. The dumb criminal was arrested.

Один молодой человек решил ограбить авторемонтную мастерскую. Он вошел в мастерскую около 8 утра, в маске и с пистолетом. Когда он потребовал деньги, один из сотрудников сказал ему, что все деньги были заперты в сейфе, который мог открыть только менеджер мастерской. Но менеджер еще не пришел на работу.

Тогда преступник оставил два телефонных номера, чтобы ему позвонили, когда придёт менеджер. Он пригрозил вернуться в магазин и расстрелять всех сотрудников, если они не позвонят ему.

И они позвонили ... но только после того, как приехала полиция. Глупый преступник был арестован.
