Conservation or wasted Effort?
The black robin(旅鸫)is one of the world’s rarest birds．It is a small，wild bird，and it lives
only on the island of Little Mangere，off the coast of New Zealand．In 1967 there were about
fifty black robins there；in 1977 there were fewer than ten．
Energetic steps are being taken to preserve the black robin．——(47)The idea is to
buy another island nearby as a special home，a“reserve”，for threatened wild life，including
black robins．The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked(重新准备)with
the robin’s food．Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New
Zealand．
Is all this concern a waste of human effort?
what is reasonable and what is unreasonable?
(48)Are we losing our sense of
In the earth’s long，long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved，risen to a degree
of success and died out．In the long，long 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．——(49)This is nature’s proven method of operation．
The rule of selection--“the survival of the fittest”—-is the one by which human beings have
themselves arrived on the scene．We，being ode of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet
produced，may last longer than most．——(SO)You may take it as another rule that when，
at last．human beings show signs of dying out，no other creature will extend a paw(爪)to
postpone our departure．On the contrary, we will be hurried out．
Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins．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 will disappear early．
C Detailed studies are going on，and a public appeal for money has been made．
D Both represent orders in the classification of life
E Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out?
F These are the only black robins left in the world

Unpopular Subjects?
Is there a place in today’s society for the study of useless subjects in our universities? Just
over 100 years ago Fitzgerald argued in a well-written letter (51)Nature that
“Universities must be allowed to study useless subjects- (52)they don’t，who
will?，，He went 0n to use the (53)of Maxwell’s electrodynamics_(电动力学)as one
case where a“useless subject” has been transformed to a useful subject．
Nowadays this argument is again very much (54)in many universities．Indeed
one suspects that it is one of those arguments that must be (55)anew(重新)by
each generation．But now there is an added twist ~)--subjects must not only be useful，they
must also be (56)enough that students will flock(蜂拥)to d0 them，and even flock
to pay to do them．
As universities become commercial operations，the pressure to——(57)subjects or
departments that are less popular will become stronger and stronger, Perhaps this is most
strongly——(58)at the moment by physics．There has been much——(59)in
the press of universities that are closing down physics departments and incorporate them with
mathematics or engineering departments．
Many scientists think otherwise．They see physics as a——(60)science，which
must be kept alive if only to (61)a base for other sciences and engineering．It is of
their great personal concern that physics teaching and research is under (62)in
many universities．How Can it be preserved in the rush towards commercial competition? A
major turnaround(转变)in student popularity may have to——(63)until the industrial
world discovers that it needs physicists and starts paying them well．
Physics is now not only unpopular；it is also“hard”．We can do more about the latter by (64)teaching in our schools and universities．We can also (65)
cooperative arrangements to ensure that physicists keep their research and teaching up to date
