  Darwin was a great scientist.He studied living things in the world.

  He said,“There are thousands of different living things.But in the past,the number was smaller.In the far past,a still smaller number.And at the be-ginning,perhaps only one.”

  Darwin waited a long time before he put these things into a book.He always tried to add more and more facts;he wanted his ideas about evolution(进化)to be right.

  It took him many years to write the book.At the beginning,people bought every copy.However,men of churches fought against Darwin's ideas.His story of the world was different from theirs.So either Darwin or the men of the churches must be wrong.But the churches didn't bring any new facts,or better ideas.They only brought angry words.

  Later,Darwin wrote a book about the evolution of man.He said that man is also a kind of animal.And again,Darwin didn't just write down his own ideas,he filled his book with facts to support his theory.We know now that he was right.It's now widely believed that there have been mankind on our earth for more than a million years.We have found some of the palaeoanthropic(远古人的)bone fossils(化石)and those of other living things millions of years ago.These bone fossils have told us about the evolution of living things.

  Like any other animal,man has slowly evoluted through time.But we can't find the bone of man like us from a few million years ago.The world's animals were different then.

  But the bones can take us backwards(向后)through time into the past.And

they can help us with our study of the evolution of life.

In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal:A dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf people. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”.
Americans hold “Be---Kind-to-Animals Week” in the first week of May.
Pets shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.
If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.

Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.

This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.

The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said, “The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”

The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.

A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point (地点) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.
