We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the jungle” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the 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. 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 and 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 became desert because the rabbits destroyed (毁坏) it seriously.
Remember that we are a part of the food chain, 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 ecosystem in the future.

One day,I took my daughter to the park.As soon as we got there,my daughter (81) (run) to the swing (秋千)and asked for a push.When I was helping my daughter,I noticed another girl trying to make her own swing (82) (go) high by herself.Her old grandmother was
sitting on the chair nearby and smiling at us.Gradually,my daughter (83) (push) higher and higher by me.
Then I walked towards the little girl.I asked if I (84) (give) a big push to her.She smiled and said"Yes".For the next hour,I pushed the swings,and played with my daughter and the little girl.When we went home,I (85) (be) tired but very happy.
One day two years later,after a day's work,I went to pick up my daughter before going home.
While I (86) (wait) outside the school gate,a little girl smiled sweetly at me and gave me a big hug.As I watched her (87) (run) away,I realized that she was the girl whom I gave a big push in the park.
So far,I (88) (not forget) her sweet smile and the warm hug that she gave me.
In fact,if we give love to others,love (89) (find) its way back to us.It may travel from heart to heart or it may blossom (开花)in the heart.The love we share,the kindness we (90) (give),and the happiness we create will come back to us with a pleasant surprise.
Clothing(服装)is a language.We can look at traditional clothing to know more about culture.
Africa has a long history and a rich culture,and this is shown in traditional dress.The three colours一red,gold and green,are often used in the clothing.The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second,rich resources of the African earth; and the third,the grassland of home.
Because clothing has strong social meanings,people are very careful in choosing what to wear.It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes,or to dress in the wrong way.For example,in Ghana,a woman should wear her waistband (腰带)differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life.African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing.The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night,so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.
Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes especially in big cities in Africa,traditional African dress is still quite valuable.This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
