Around two weeks ago, I was invited to be a judge(裁判) at a college.All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a topic written on it.The first one to speak looked a little .“My dear friends and judges,” he said loudly, “this is an unfair ! I have been given the paper,” he continued, “to speak on the topic with just a few minutes’ preparation, those who come after me have more time to their speeches!” He then left the stage and went out of the hall.

I met him later by chance.“Who said life is ?” I asked him with a smile, and I asked him to walk with me to my car.“Have you seen the figures(数字) they show when a new car is into the market, saying how good it is?”

“Yes,” he nodded.

“But they put a after all these figures.They say all the figures are in ideal road conditions!”

“Yes,” he said again.

“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled.“The car that sells well is the one will provide power and speed on the roads.That car is the winner.”

We had got to the car.“Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said.“ the unfair and come out a winner!”

I looked back as I drove away and saw him smile and wave, and I knew he would do as I said.

The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin(查尔斯·达尔文), was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.

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

As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests.83. 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: eggs, stones, and leaves. His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.

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

Then he studied at Cambridge University until 1831.

Some time later, he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted 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, which he sent home from the places he visited.

When he returned home, Darwin was warmly greeted by his families and many friends.

In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of the changes in nature. 84.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. ③He was opposed (反对) by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.

Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.
