Question

Most students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in China．But several days ago，I had a biology class outside in my American schoo1．

My biology teacher，Mr.Kwak，divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择)and how birds find food．

He gave the first group one spoon per person，the second group forks and my group"knives．I thought we were going hunting，so knives might work better．Surprisingly，he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools．

When the game started all of us ran to the grass area．We squatted(蹲)down and looked for beans．It was hard to pick up something that small，especially from the grass .

When I almost fired a bean，it dropped back to the ground．When I finally picked up several beans．one of my friends ran into me．I couldn’t keep my balance and fell over．All my beans dropped to the ground!Just at that moment，Mr．Kwak called us back．I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result．I couldn’t help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island，I would be dead soon．

The fun game made me realize that natural selection is redly competitive(竞争的)．Everyone is trying his or her best to—survive．

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了作者的生物老师Mr.Kwak组织了户外活动，把学生分成三组，分给不同的组不同的工具，来比赛看哪个组捡到的豆子最多，作者一组用的是刀子，一开始这组捡到了几颗豆子，最后因为有同学撞身上了，失去平衡，因此把所有的豆子全部散了，结果作者一组比赛输了。因为现在的社会是竞争的社会，所以每个人尽最大的努力去生存下去。
