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 needed. We know all living things are sure to die without food. In every part of the world, different kinds of animals share living places and live in communities (群落) together. They are connected(联系) in a food chain.
In a food chain, some living things are producers and some are consumers. 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 world. 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 plants and animals. A scavenger is an animal that eats dead animal.
Here is a picture of a food chain. The food chain shows how animal eat each other in a community. In the picture, you can see what animal or plant is food for another animal. See? The grass is food for a rabbit(兔子), which then becomes food for a hungry tiger. In this way, all of these animals are connected.

Remember we used to see many fireflies(萤火虫) shining in the grass on summer evenings? Now we are lucky if we see one. Fireflies have become fewer and fewer all over the world because the lights at night keep them away and because there is too little land for them to live on. To bring these little flying friends back into our lives, we can: 1. Keep the grass taller and grow more plants. Fireflies like to live over tall grass or near the high points of plants. 2. Leave dry leaves or dead plants in the garden. Small animals like slugs, snails, and worms live under them. They are fireflies' favorite food. 3. Turn off lights in the garden or by the window. When it is too bright, fireflies don't know if the light is from other fireflies or from lamps. So it is difficult for them to find each other. 4. Build a pond in the yard and keep the water clean. Fireflies like to live around clean water. Let us know if you have any questions. The National Science Center: 123-4567.
