Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he’d 17 a horse ranch (牧場). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.
He put a great deal of his into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” a note that read, “See me after class.”
The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an ‘F’?”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic (不現(xiàn)實的) dream for a young boy like you. Your family is not rich. Having a horse ranch needs a lot of . You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “ you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I’ll reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. But I think it is a very important for you.”
Finally, after thinking about it for several days, the boy handed in the same paper, making changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the ‘F’ and I’ll keep my dream.”

As we know, all living things have to eat food. For a man, a tiger, a fish, a bird, or even a worm, food is necessary. Generally speaking, all living things are sure to die without food. In every part of the world, many different kinds of animals share living places and live in communities (群落) together. They are connected in a food chain (鏈).
Within a food chain, some living things are producers and some are consumers (消費者). Plants are producers because they use sunlight, soil and other things to make their own food. Animals are consumers because they have to eat other animals or plants.
There are four different kinds of consumers in the animal kingdom. A carnivore is an animal that only eats other animals. An herbivore is an animal that only eats plants. An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and animals. A scavenger is an animal that eats dead animals.
Look at the picture. It is an example of a food chain. The food chain shows the order that animals eat each other in a community. In the picture, you can see what animal or plant is food for another animal. See? A leaf is food for a grasshopper, which then becomes food for a hungry mouse. The mouse is food for a snake. The snake is eaten by an eagle. In this way, all of these animals are connected.
根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容判斷正 ( T ) 誤( F )
1.The main idea of the passage is “Four kinds of consumers”.
2.The underlined word “scavenger” means in Chinese “腐生動物”.
3.The food for a mouse according to the picture is a grasshopper.
4.All kinds of animals share their living places with others.
