It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the highestanimal in the land food chain(食物链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swimfaster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.What is at the top of the worlds food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are thecleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented发( 明) cars. We could not fight better than a lion,so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the beasts.Peoples inventions are clever, 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 sheep. But in recent(近来) years, thenumber of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller andsmaller. The wild rabbits competed(竞争) for the grass with the sheep and the cows. Much of the grassland becamedesert because the grass was eaten up by the rabbits.Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we love animals, we are lovingourselves.19. Which is at the top of the food chain in the sea?A. The dolphin.B. The shark.C. Sea animals.D. Fish. 20. Why are people at the top of the worlds food chain?A. Because they can use guns.B. Because they are the biggest.D. Because they can drive cars.C. Because they are the cleverest.21. In what way do we say peoples inventions can be sometimes dangerous?A. They can kill a lot of wild wolves.C. They can destroy the grassland.22. What is the best title for the passage?A. Peoples inventions.B. They can destroy(毁坏) the food chain.D. They can make wild rabbits grow bigger and bigger.B. Lions and sharks.D. Desert.C Food chain.CDo you often have a headache(头痛) during a test? Are you worried about something that you cant sleep well atnight? If so, then you will know what pressure（压力） is. You will feelit when you are worried about something.This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad or afraid-all of them can make yourlife bad.There are different kinds of pressure. Some kinds of pressure are good and others are bad. Good pressure mightcome to you when your teacher asks you to answer questions in class or when you try to get good grades at school.This kind of pressure can help you to do things better.On the other hand, bad pressure will come if the pressure lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents aregetting on badly with each other, if a family member is sick, if youre having problems at school, or if anything elseoften makes you unhappy. That kind of pressure isnt going to help you. And it can really make you feel sick.The best way to face pressure is to make sure you keep these in mind: sleep, exercise and food. If you get enoughsleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, youll probably have an easier life.23. The underlined word “it” refers to（指的是）_A. worryB. pressureC. sleepD. test24.
