We sometimes say the lion is "the king of the jungle", because it is stronger and more dangerous than many other animals. Most other animals in the jungle run more slowly than the lion, so it can hunt better. The lion is the top animal in the land food chain.
In the sea, the shark is at the top of the food chain. Most other sea animals swim much more slowly than it does. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest! We could not catch up with most animals, so we invented cars, planes, trains and so on. Now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.
People's inventions help a lot, but they can be dangerous too. For example, many years ago in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves.
The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller.
The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland turned into desert because the rabbits destroyed (毁坏) it seriously.
Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves. Luckily, people have paid much attention to such problems. We will do more things to keep the balance of the ecosystem in the future.
Food Chain
The food chain of land animals: The lion can run 1 most other animals.
The food chain of sea animals: 2 stands at the top of the sea food chain.
The world’s food chain: People’s inventions are 3 but dangerous.

The balance of the food chain: While the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller, the number of wild rabbits is getting 4.
What to do: Do more things to 5 of the ecosystem.

Ⅱ.阅读短文,回答问题
A forest is like a football team. It sounds unusual, but it's true. Each player does an im-
portant job, but they can't win by themselves, so
they work together. The same is true of all plants
and animals in a forest. They depend on each
other to live. We call this an ecosystem.
There are three jobs in an ecosystem: the
producer, the consumer and the decomposer.
The trees in the forest produce food by them-
selves. Giraffes themselves can't make their own
food, so they consume or eat the trees' leaves.
But sometimes hungry lions or other animals eat
giraffes. When animals die, their bodies become
part of the soil to help the forest grow. So the
ecosystem can keep on going.

Ecosystems come in lots of kinds and sizes.
A backyard or even a big sea can be an ecosys-
tem. The key thing is that an ecosystem has to
be balanced. If there weren't animals to eat gi-
raffes, giraffes would eat too many leaves. This
wouldn't be good for the trees, and this would
make it difficult for giraffes to find food. Differ-
ent weather and natural disasters can change the
ecosystems. Human activities like cutting down
the trees and hunting can also bring problems.
Ecosystems are everywhere. They play an
important role in our life. It is necessary for us
to do what we can to keep them working well.
1. What are the three roles in an ecosystem?
2. What's the most important thing in an ecosys-
tem?
3. What may cause an ecosystem to change?
