"How could he be the CEO?" the others asked. Then the CEO said, "One year ago, I gave you all boiled seeds. It was impossible for them to grow. The young man was the only one with the honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Remember everyone, if you plant honesty, you will get trust."

We sometimes say the tiger is "the king of the jungle" because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt better. The tiger is the highest animal in the land food chain(食物链). In the sea, the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most 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 world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt best.

People's inventions are useful, 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 it was seriously destroyed(毁坏) by the rabbits.

Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves.

(  )38. Why does the writer describe(描述） the tiger and the shark in the first paragraph?

A. To lead into the topic of the food chain.

B. To show they are dangerous animals.

C. To show how they hunt food.

D. To explain the differences between them.

(  )39. Why are people at the top of the world’s food chain?

A. Because they can use guns.

B. Because they're the biggest.

C. Because they're the cleverest.

D. Because they can drive cars.

(  )40. Who are at the top of the food chain on the grassland in Inner Mongolia?

A. The wild rabbits.     B. The sheep.

C. The cows.      D. The wild wolves.

(  )41. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Food Chain     B. The King of the Jungle

C. The Dangerous Animal   D. The Most Helpful Invention

D

It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:

Reduce

If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely(明智地).A larger number of trees are cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we will not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to use things wisely.

Reuse

You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. For example, you can give your clothes you do not wear any more to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

Recycle

Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example, Coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat(压平)and melted(融化)and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.

Recover(恢复)

When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten(腐烂的)apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts. In the way, you are recovering the eatable(能吃的) parts of food.

Repair

If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

(    )42.The“reduce”rule mainly wants us ___________________.

A. to use things wisely             B. to cut down many trees

C. to use a lot of paper            D. to throw away your old things

(    )43. What’s the right order of recycling Coke cans?

1. collect the used cans         b. melt them  

 c. smash them flat             d. send them to a factory

A. a b c d          B. a d c b           C. d b c a        D. c a b d

(    )44.The “recover”rule mainly wants us __________________

A.to throw waste things away.        B.to cover waste things with earth.

C.to get back the useful parts        D.to throw the whole things away.
