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.

When you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope (羚羊) can run away from a strong lion. In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protect himself. Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies.
Over millions of years, plants have developed their own defense system (防卫系统). Chemicals(化学物) are fantastically used by plants to survive . By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.
One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree's leaves, the amount (数量) of poison increases in the other leaves. "It's like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together against the enemy", he said.
The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees' leaves, he will die.
Every kind of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. Herbivores, like rabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be poisoned by its neighbor.
In this way, plants have not only developed their own defense system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.
1.From the first 2 paragraphs, we can learn that_______.
A. plants can do nothing against their enemies
B. chemicals are quite useful for plants to survive
C. an antelope can always run away from a strong lion
D. leaves, roots, flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous
2.The underlined word "herbivores" in the 5th paragraph probably means animals which_______.
A. produce poison B. live on small animals
C. like to eat rabbits D. feed on plants or grass
3.The last paragraph of the passage suggests that this kind of defense system is_______.
A. bad for animals B. good for forests
C. helpful to some animals D. harmful to forests
4.The passage is mainly about_____________________.
A. the examples of protecting forests
B.the balance between animals and plants
C. the ways of plants fighting against enemies
D. the relationship between lions and antelopes
