In the thick jungle f New Guinea is nature's mst amazing theater, a Carla's partia（天堂鸟）is shwing ff his red and yellw feathers in a display called a “butterfly dance.”
This brilliantly clred birds f paradise have develped ver millins f years frm ancient birds whse feathers were dark and bring in cmparisn. It seems t be a cntradictin（矛盾） that such extreme feathers and clrs culd have been favred by the prcess f evlutin. After all, these same brightly clred feathers that attract mates als make the birds much mre nticeable t predatrs（捕食者）. The answer lies in the safe envirnment in which the birds live, and a prcess f evlutin knwn as sexual selectin. Except fr ther pressures, birds f paradise begin t specialize in attracting mates. Over millins f years they have slwly undergne changes in their clrs, feathers and ther talents. Characteristics that made ne bird mre attractive than anther were passed n and impve ver time.
In the past, demand fr the bird's feathers resulted in a huge amunt f hunting. At the peak f the trade in the early 1900s, 80, 000 skins a year were exprted frm New Guinea t Eurpe ladies' hats. Nwadays, few birds die fr fashin r fr traditinal cstumes: Ceremnial feathers are passed dwn frm generatin t generatin. Althugh lcal peple are still permitted t hunt the birds fr traditinal uses, they usually target lder male birds, leaving yunger males t cntinue breeding.
David Mitchell, a cnservatinist, is relying n the help f lcal villagers t recrd where the birds display and what they eat. He hpes t nt nly gather data, but als encurage prtectin f the birds' habitat. The strategy seems t be wrking. Fr millins f years, these impressive birds have danced t find their mates. They will keep dancing fr as lng as the frest ffers them stage.
32. Why d the birds f paradise evlve the bright chlrs?
A. T frighten away predatrs. B. T execise and clean bdies.
C. T shw the pssessin f an area. D. T attract a mate's attentin.
33. What caused s many birds f paradise die in the early 1900s?
A. Industrial develpment destryed their habitat. B. A high demand fr feathers t use in hats.
C. They were eaten by the predatrs. D. They gt sick after inteactins with human.
34. Why d lcal peple cntinue t hunt birds f paradise?
A. T eat them. B. T prtect smaller birds.
C. T make traditinal cstumes. D. T keep their numbers dwn.
