[填空题]Environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water—in fact everything that can affect us in any way. And environment differs in different parts of the world.
Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other on the local environment. Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance. But if a creature dies out or an alien (相异的) species is introduced, then the ecology of this area will be upset.
