All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain (食物链). Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears. All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are "factories". They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air. Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun"s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly. What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat rice, vegetables, and fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas polluted, when these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them can not be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases. Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger. | ||||

I hate being overweight. My husband said he didn"t mind, but I knew he still hoped I had a beautiful body. Everything from my waist (腰部) to my legs was overweight. Finally, just after Christmas last year, I decided that something had to be done. I met Dr. Wallace, and she told me I had to stop eating fast foods. It was very hard for me because I was eating them three of four times a week: pizza, hamburgers, whatever I could get. But I said to myself at the start that I would try my best to do it-and I did. I even gave up the booze-something I used to have two glasses of it with dinner. My best friend, Rachel Waterman, said I had to walk 10,000 steps every day. That was very hard for me at the beginning. I was used to driving everywhere, but I started to walk everywhere instead. I walked in the morning before work, and I usually took a walk in the park with my husband after work. Now I never go to bed until I"ve done my 10,000 steps. Six months has passed, and I made it. Last week, my husband bought me an MP4 as a gift. the weight is wonderful-I feel like a different person now, and I can buy my favorite clothes in the shops. I am so proud of myself because everyone thought I wouldn"t be able to make it including myself. I love my new body, and I"ll never let myself go back into my old ways. | ||||
