Frank couldn’t wait for September when school would start. It was early August,and he was at the same summer camp for the fifth times. His dad went to the camp when he was boy and loved it, so Frank didn’t want to disappointed (使失望) his dad by telling him that he didn’t even like it.

By the middle of August, Frank had had more than enough. He had had enough of the horses, enough of the baseball games, and enough of the camp food.

He asked his mom to pick him up early, but he didn’t want his mom to tell his dad “I can’t do that, I’m always honest with your dad." his mom said.

Frank still worried about disappointing his dad. So he decided to stay. At the same time he asked his mom if she would make his favorite meal when he finished the camp. His mom agreed.

After that whenever he ate at the camp, he was thinking he was eating his mom’s cooking. All of a sudden, the food didn’t taste as bad as before. Frank decided to be honest with his camp coaches. He told the horseback coach that he wasn’t comfortable with the horse. The coach changed one for him and he started to like horseback riding. He also told the coach why he never liked playing baseball. The coach asked him to play catcher.

When Frank’s parents came to pick him from the camp, he said to them. “This was the best summer at camp” He even wanted to stay for another week or two.

What is the life in an ecosystem(生态系统)? You’re in the forest. From your place on the hill, you can see a pond below you and the sun shining above you. A pond is an area of water smaller than lake. A frog sings noisily through your binoculars(双筒望远镜), you see the cattails (香蒲）shaking in the wind. You close in on the dragonflies(蜻蜓) resting on them.

Look at a family of ducks swimming along noisily. The brothers and sisters at the end of the line hurry to keep up. At the other side of the pond, a long-legged bird, heron(苍鹭)waits patently in the reeds. Reeds are grass-liked plants in wet places. You watch carefully as the heron drops his head down into the water, when it pulls suddenly back up, you see the fish in in mouth. You may not realize it, but you are watching a great system(系统) in action.

What is a system?

A system is made up of many parts working together for a purpose(目的). But scientists divide them into two main parts, they are living and nonliving parts. Every part of system is important, if any part of system is lost, the whole system does not work.

Let’s take another look. The ducks and the herons are birds, the frog is an amphibian, which can live both on land and in water. The dragonflies are insects(昆虫)and the cattails are plants. They are all alive. What nonliving parts can you think of?Air, water sunlight, and land forms are all nonliving parts. All of these parts system are working together.
