  We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the jungle(丛林)” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt(捕猎) the best. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. 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? People 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 the fastest. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.

  People's 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 wild rabbits. But in recent(近来的) 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(竞争) 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.

A few of years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane after the meeting ended(结束). The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert(沙漠),    1   
The first day was a lot of fun as we were excited and laughing at each other's stupid(愚蠢的) jokes. By the third day of driving in the seemingly endless(无边的) desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when in the distance(在远处) Chris found some kangaroos(袋鼠). We were both excited and decided to get a closer(更近) look.  2  .We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per(每) hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!
Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a larger kangaroo lying completely still on the ground.   3  He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then, he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together.  4  While I was focusing(聚焦) the camera, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up(醒来), looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.
I started laughing(笑) but Chris looked very serious(严肃).   5   I started laughing even harder(更厉害). I stopped laughing, however, when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket!

A. Chris speeded up(加速) to catch up with the kangaroos.
B. He said his wallet and passport(护照) were in the jacket.
C. In order to (为了)get there in three days, we drove very fast.
D. so we had to take food, water, and extra (额外的)gas with us.
E(AB). Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head.
F(CD). I was still surprised, but I took out my camera.
