| NOTICE February 20th,2013 A heavy snowstorm destroyed a village last month. Many people are now sick because they don’t have warm houses to live in, not enough food to eat, and not thick clothes to wear. Also, the hospital was destroyed so they have to travel to other cities for medical help. However, the journey is very difficult and usually takes five or six hours. Next Saturday, students of No. 10 Middle School are going to give a performance. They will sing, dance and play music. The performance will start at 4 p.m. Each ticket will cost 20 Yuan and all the money will go to the people in the snowstorm-hit village.

One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations(适应能力) was Charles Darwin(达尔文). He was born in England in 1809. He wasn’t the best student in his school, but when he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors observing(观察) nature more than having medical classes. He dropped out without graduating.
Next, Charles’ father sent him to school to become a minister(牧师). This time he made it to graduation, but he didn’t want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.
Luckily, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist after graduation. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. Their task was to make maps of the places they visited.
On December 27th, 1831. Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five. During this time, he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to begin his scientific study.
Twenty-three years later, Darwin published a scientific paper with another man named Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them survive. They are passed on to offspring(后代). Darwin’s ideas about adaptations are still very important to the study of living things.Darwin was very interested in ____________.
| A．having medical classes | B．the work of a minister |
| C．sailing around the world | D．science and nature |
The trip on the Beagle lasted ____________ years.
| A．five | B．four |
| C．three | D．two |
