Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out ? Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable ? In the earth’s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to degree of success – and died out In the long, lonf future there will be many new and different forms of life Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early That is Nature’s proven method of operation The rule of selection – “ the survival of the fittest” – is the one by which man has himself arrived on the scene He, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most Some creatures, certain small animals, insects and birds, will almost certainly outlast man, for they seem even more adaptable You may take it as another rule that when, at last man shows signs of dying out, no other creature will extend a paw to postpone his departure On the contrary, he will be hurried out: for Nature, though fair , is hard – heart mistress She has no favourites Life seems to have grown to tough for black robins I leave you to judge whether we should try to anything about it The black robin is dying out mainly because a people have been very careless about its survival b Its only food is becoming exhausted on Little Mangere c The other birds on the island have destroyed it d The appeal for money has become at the wrong time The success of other small birds on Little Mangere shows that _ a the island cannot have very much food left b Something has to die out, they can’t be all winners c The big birds have all been attacking the black robin d The black robin has failed to meet the challenges of life As regards selection and survival, the decisive factor seems to be _ a the ability to adapt to changed or changing conditions b The number of wildlife reserves that are available c The concern and generosity of the public d The side of the home, or the amount of space one has to live in The evidence seems to suggest that _ a it is disaster for everyone when one kind of bird dies out b All creatures are concerned about the survival of others c Nature expects and accepts the dying out of weeker breeds d Man is to blame when such
