The famous scientist and thinker， Charles Darwin， was born on February 12，1809． His family lived not far from the River Severn， England．

   Darwin's father was a well ﹣known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist．Darwin's father hoped that his son would also become a doctor．

   As a boy， Darwin liked to go for walks in the fields and forests． He watched nature， and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books． He also liked collecting very much． He collected many things， birds， eggs， stones and leaves． His father did not like this， as Darwin was not studying very well at school．

   At the age of sixteen， Darwin was sent to Edinburgh Univensity to study in order that he could become a doctor． But he was interested in the history of nature．

   Then he was sent to study in Cambridge Univesiy．There he studied until 1831．

   Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and needed a scientist．His professor advised him to go．He said the trip would be just for Darwin．So when the ship left England in December 1831． Darwin was on it． The research lasted almost five years． The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America． It also visited New Zealand， Australia and islands in the Pacific． Darwin saw many new plants and animals． He collected all kinds of plants．

   In 1842 Darwin went to live in Kent， where he continued his studies of changes in nature． Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same， and that they really change．

   By 1859 Darwin had finished his famous book"The origin of Species"（《物种起源》）．It made a great hit in the world of science．He was opposedby the church and even by some scientists．But later，more and more scientists agreed with him．

People spend almost a third of their lives doing one thing﹣sleeping， Every year， there is a special day for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleep﹣World Sleep Day．

Sleep is like food for the brain．（1） 　　．

People of different ages need different amounts（数量）of sleep．According to the National Sleep Foundation（国家睡眠基金会）in the US，adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night．（2） 　　And school﹣aged children may need more than ten hours of sleep．

NAO is a 58cm﹣tall robot． He is small，cute and round． You can't help but love him! NAO is created to be a friendly partner around the house． He moves，recognizes（识别）you，hears you and can even talk to you．

    Since his birth in 2006，he has been better and better at pleasing，understanding and loving you．Maybe one day he will become your friend．His cute look and wonderful communication skills make him really lovely and popular．

    He can be a good helper．Ask him to do something and he does．For example，ask NAO to wake you up in the morning，to watch your home during the day or to teach you new things whenever you want．You no longer need a keyboard，a computer or a mouse to communicate with technology．All you have to do is to talk to him．

One day，you open the fridge and find some moldy（发霉的）food．But before you can throw it away， your mother stops you． She doesn't want to waste food．She cuts of the moldy part and eats the rest．Is it safe to do this？

Mold（霉菌）can grow on almost all kinds of food．Mold is usually green， white， black or gray．Mold makes food soft and changes its color．Moldy food tastes quite bad﹣and it's not safe to eat．

If you find mold in soft food， just throw it away． Bread，tomatoes and hot dogs are soft food．This kind of food allows mold to easily grow below its surface．

But it's easy to remove mold from hard food．The mold can't grow very deeply inside this kind of food． According to the BBC， you should cut about 2．5cm around and below the mold and remove it．It's OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest．But if the food is completely covered with mold， you should still throw it away．

Most kinds of mold are bad for us．But some kinds of mold can be used to make food． For example，penicillium（青霉菌）can be used to make many types of cheeses，such as blue cheese．These cheeses are safe to eat and they' re quite delicious as well．

（1）What color is mold？ 　　

（2）How does moldy food taste？ 　　

（3）How should you deal with the soft food when you find mold in it？ 　　

（4）Is it easy or difficult to remove mold from hard food？ 　　

（5）What can some kinds of mold be used to do？
