The sun is a huge, hot and bright star.

题目：

The sun is a huge, hot and bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on the earth. The sun gives us light and heat.

All living things depend on the sun for their growth. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. But we human beings cannot make food by our own bodies from the sun. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain(链) . And the food chain starts with the sun . For example.

sun —→ potatoes  —→ chips

sun  —→ corn  —→ hens  —→ eggs

sun—→ wheat  —→ bread

Animals need sunlight, too. Just like us, their food comes from plants in food chain, which begins with the sun. For example,

Sun → leaf → caterpilllar(毛虫) → bird

Sun → seaweed(海藻) → small fish → whale(鲸)

With the help of sunlight, we can see things during the day. Even when the sky is cloudy, the sunlight is very strong and it shines through the clouds. If there was no sun, it would be dark all the time.
