We sometimes call the lion “the king of the jungle (丛林)” because it is stronger and more dangerous than other animals. It can run faster than many animals and it can hunt (捕猎) the best. It is the highest animal in the   1  food chain (食物链).

In the sea, the shark is one of the animals at the  2  of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals, and it can use its big teeth to eat them.

What is at the top of the world’s food chain?  3  are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the   4  We could not run faster than cheetahs (猎豹),  so we  5  cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not  6   better than lions, so we invented guns (枪). Now we can hunt the best.

People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people invented  7 , and now they make the air and rivers dirty. This can make   8  changes. Dirty rivers kill fish.  Then bears cannot eat the fish and the bears die. If we kill one part of the food chain,   9   also die. Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger too! If we protect animals, we are protecting   10  ! We should and we could do something for the world!

Three kids have been learning chemistry for only a few months. But they have already begun to challenge (挑战) a world famous scientist!

Li Weichi, Huang Runling, and Xiao Yan are from Zhongshan Huaqiao Middle School in Guangdong. They have just found a red cabbage that could be a new kind of acid-base indicator (酸碱指示剂). They want it to take the place of litmus (石蕊) paper.

"We've learnt to think of and ask questions about life by ourselves," said Li, "We work well with each other."

British scientist Robert Boyle discovered the use of litmus paper over 300 years ago. Now it is used widely in experiments all over the world.

But when the kids did some experiments in class last winter, they saw that the litmus paper didn’t turn very blue with base matter. It's hard to get a clear result.

Will there be a better indicator than litmus paper? The three kids decided to try and find out!

How? They went to collect over 40 plants in parks, gardens and markets. Then they ground (研磨) leaves, flowers and stems (茎) to get the pigments (色素) from them.

The kids mixed pigments with acid and base. They spent months watching carefully to see which paper showed the best color change. They decided it was the litmus paper!

"It's our first scientific journey, Huang said, "But it makes me want to try harder."
