Reading Task 1. Answer the questions about the text Competing for Resources
The resources of any one environment are limited Depending on which plants and animals
share the environment, there may not be enough of everything to go around. All organisms need
water food and shelter to stay alive. These resources are beneficial, which means they are good
for the organisms. When an environment is low on any of these things, organisms must compete
for them. Those who get to the resources first have the best chance of survival. Being without
water, food or shelter for very long is detrimental, which means it is harmful to organisms. The
resources in an area determine how big the plant and animal populations can be. Sometimes
there are too many living things in an area. The weakest of the populations will not be able to
get the resources they need. As the weak die out, the populations get smaller
Finally, the area's resources recover and can support them again. Sometimes people will
capture members of large animal populations and move them. They take them to another location
with less competition. This helps the animals survive. Sometimes the government will allow
hunting of large animal populations. Deer and rabbits can be a good food source for people.
When there are too many of these animals in an area,
They sometimes come into the cities looking for food. They often cause trouble. Hunting keeps
the number of animals under control. Sometimes the government will allow hunting of large

Answer the questions:
1 Why do organisms sometimes have to compete for resources?
2. What kinds of things are beneficial for organisms?
3. What happens when populations grow too large for an area?
