Is all this concern a waste of human effort?

The black robin (旅鸫) isone of the world's rarest birds. It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only onthe island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there wereabout fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten. (46)

Energetic steps are being taken to preserve theblack robin. (47) The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home, a"reserve", for threatened wild life, including black robins. Theorganizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked (重新准备) with the robin's food. Thousands of the required plants are atpresent being cultivated in New Zealand.

Is all this concern a waste of human effort?(48) Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?

In the earth's long, long past hundreds ofkinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of success and died out. Inthe long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Thosecreatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers willsurvive for a long time. (49) This is nature's proven method of operation.

The rule of selection--"the survival ofthe fittest"--is the one by which human beings have themselves arrived onthe scene. We, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yetproduced, may last longer than most. (50) You may take it as another rule thatwhen, at last, human beings show signs of dying out, no other creature willextend a paw (爪) to postpone our departure. On thecontrary, we will be hurried out.

Life seems to have grown too tough for blackrobins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do anything about it.

A Some creatures, certain small animals,insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast (比…长久)man, for they seem even more adaptable.

B Those that fail to meet the challenges willdisappear early.

C Detailed studies are going on, and a publicappeal for money has been made.

D Both represent orders in the classificationof life.

E Is it any business of ours whether the blackrobin survives or dies out?

F These are the only black robins left in theworld.
