Charles Darwin was a scientist who changed our understanding of the natural world．He is known as the Father of Modern Biology．Darwin spent all his life studying nature and making notes about all the species（物种）he found．
Darwin was born in 1809 in England．Like many geniuses he didn't do well at school and got poor marks．He was a good athlete though and loved exploring nature and collecting sea shells．He also kept doing chemistry experiments and so his classmates gave him the nickname"Gas"．
His father was a doctor and expected Charles to become one too．Charles started studying medicine at Edinburgh University，but soon gave up his studies there．He went on to study religion at Cambridge University instead．There he started collecting insects like beetles and paid too little attention to his studies．
In 1831，at the age of 22，Darwin went on a five-year expedition to South America，Australia and South Africa by ship．He was often seasick，but the things he saw on this long journey changed his life．He collected many fossils as well as animal and plant specimens．He spent the rest of his life studying what he had seen and he wrote many books．
In 1839，Darwin married his cousin，Emma Wedgwood，with whom he had ten children!He was a loving father and enjoyed family life，which was always more important to him than his research．In spite of having many health problems throughout his life，Darwin lived until he his 73．
Darwin's most famous book On the Origin of Species came out in 1859 and sold out in a day．It said that all living things were related，which meant that human beings were just another kind of animal．These ideas were not popular at first，but now most people agree with them and admire Darwin as a brilliant scientist．

Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream．The world is full of successful teenagers and young people．They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world．Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples．They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves．
Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality．Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67and set up the biggest fried chicken company （KFC） in the world．

2．Qi Haoran，a Junior 1student，was quite busy over the past winter vacation-and not just with homework．Qi，together with 10other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign （"光盘行动"）．
The 11students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food．"Excuse me，do you know that 950million people around the world still haven't got enough to eat？Please don't waste food．"They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day．
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January．It calls on people to reduce food waste．
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food．CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200million people for a year．
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable （好客的） and generous（大方的）．Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food．
Luckily，the campaign has got the support of many．In a restaurant in Xinjiang，the owner give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker （贴花）．People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10stickers．More than 750restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers （剩饭剩菜） home

Get a good night's sleep．Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form．If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day，you may not be able to concentrate on the things you need to do．
Exercise regularly and eat well．Don't rush through your meals．Eat less junk food or fast food．Eat healthy food instead．
Get to know pleasant people．Some people are optimistic，while others not．Choose optimistic people as your friends and spend more time with them and you'll be as happy as them．
Learn to be calm when you face any problem．Find out the best option from those that are in your mind．Knowing that you are able to solve problems is a good way to build up your self-confidence．

20．How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day？Eight hours in the office and three hours in front of the TV after work is the normal condition for many people．
You  probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health，but the following fact can tell you more．
A study showed the health of 123，000 Americans between 1992and 2006．The death rate（比率）for men who spentsix hours or more per day sitting was about 20 percent higherthan formen who sat for three hours or less．The death rate for women who sat for more than six hours a day was about 40percent higher ①．
In other words，②．
So what can we do about it？Health experts suggest we spend more hours standing instead of sitting．The BBC and the University of Chester in  the UK did a simple experiment with a small group of 10volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting．They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day．The researchers took records on days when the volunteers stood，and when they sat around．As a result，there were some great differences，the BBC reported on Oct 16．
The researchers believe that even small movements，like standing while talking on the phone，going over to talk to a workmate rather than sending an e-mail，or simply taking the stairs instead of lift，will help．
