The Sun's Family

　　The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets(行星), fellow members of the sun's family.

　　Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these made travelling bodies move around in the sky in definite(一定的) paths.

　　We know that every little bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. There exists(存在) a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon travelling in its orbit(軌道) around our planet, the earth. The gravity(重力) holds you to its surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth, but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

　　Now remember that large bodies exert (施加) a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain(含有) less material (原料，材料). But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree(某種程度).

1．According to the passage, there are ________ fellow members besides the earth in the sun's family.

[　　]

B．seven other

D．over ten other

3．What holds the nine planets in their paths?

A．The sun's energy(能量).
B．The earth.
C．The universe.

4．Why the moon travels around the earth is ________ .

[　　]

A．that the sun pulls upon the moon

B．that the earth pulls upon the moon

C．that the earth and the moon pull upon each other

D．that the other eight planets pull upon the moon

B．a(chǎn) large body pulls on a small one less than a small body pulls on a large one

C．a(chǎn) small body does not pull on a large one

D．the pull between two bodies is always equal(相等)

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(食物鏈).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 wheat, rice, vegetables, 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 dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot 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. 
【小題1】How does every living thing on the earth live?
A. Each plant can live alone.
B. Each animal can live alone.
C. Every living thing on the earth cannot live without others.
【小題2】Which living things can use the sun’s energy directly?
A. Animals      B. Plants         C. All living things
【小題3】Who often break up the food chains?
