it.fighting，however，is not often the best choice，since it uses up a large amount of energy，and can result in injury or even death.most animals rely on various threats，either through sounds or smells.the songs of birds，the drumming of woodpeckers and the loud calls of monkeys are all warnings that carry for long distances，advertising to possible invaders that someone elses territory is being approached.many animals rely on smells to mark their territories or leaving droppings around the territories.other animals will be warned off the territory without ever meeting with the territorys defender.sometimes，these warnings may be ignored，and an invader may move accidentally into a neighboring territory，or two animals may meet near the border of their nearby territories.when the two animals meet，they will generally threaten each other with visual (视觉的) displays.these displays will often exaggerate an animals size by putting up feathers or fur，or will show off the animals weapons.the animals may go through all the behavior of fighting without ever actually touching each other.the displays are generally performed best near the center of an animals territory，where it is more likely to attack an invader and where retreating becomes more of a choice.actual fighting usually only happens in overcrowded conditions，when resources are not enough.serious injury can result，and old or sick animals may die，leading to a more balanced population size.under most natural conditions，territoriality is an effective way of maintaining a healthy population.the study of social behaviors such as territoriality in animals may also help us to understand human society.1what topic is the passage mainly involved in?awhat animals territory is usually like.bhow animals deal

have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that weve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills. looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, i consider myself lucky to still be alive. unfamiliar to freshers, there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.i have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, i think i have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills i missed out in my modem education.in 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist sir ken robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. robinsons main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. i would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation a working knowledge of basic life skills.todays graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one sided than ever.i suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.36people call us useless students for the reason that .awhat weve learned is beyond consumptionbwe are educated generationcweve entered higher educationdour living skills are so
