A major reason for conflict in the animal world is territory.
The male animal establishes an area; she size of the area is
sufficient to provide food for him, his mate (or mates) and
their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, divide up the
best territory in the order of “first come, first served”.
The late arrivals may obtain larger territories, but less
food is available, or they are too close to the habitats of
the enemies of the species. If there is really insufficient
food or the danger is very great, the animal will not mate
In this way, the members of the species which are less fit
will not have offspring.
When there is conflict over territory, animals will
commonly use force, or a show of force, to decide which will
stay which will go.
What does the word “they”, underlined in line 7, refer to? Large territories.
Best territories.
Migrating birds.
Late arrivals.
. The word “mate”, underlined in line 9, can be substituted by
settle
couple
hunt

al. Many devout Christians believed that the world would come to a sudden end just 1,000 years after Christ. This prospect of the “millennium” brought relief to many a weary person. Many journeyed to Palestine to be present in their Holy Land when the end of the world came.
But the end of the world did not come, and the thousands of pilgrims who had journeyed to Jerusalem were ill-treated by the Turks They returned to Europe full of anger and humiliation, and spread the story of their sufferings in the Holy Land. One famous pilgrim especially, Peter the Hermit, went about staff in hand, preaching to the people to rescue their Holy City Jerusalem from the Muslims. Indignation and enthusiasms grew in Christendom, and seeing this the Pope decided to lead the movement.
In 1095, a great Church council decided to proclaim a holy war against the Muslins for the recovery of the Holy City of Jerusalem. Thus began the Crusades - the fight of Christendom against Islam, of the Cross against the Crescent.
