The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, 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.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.
①为了成为一名医生,十六岁时达尔文就被送到爱丁堡大学(Edinburgh University)学习。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.②Darwin 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.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.

Long, long ago the Mouse King had a beautiful daughter. When she was old enough to be married, he called together the oldest and cleverest mice to talk about it.
“My daughter,” He said, “is far too beautiful to marry just anybody. I have decided to marry her to the greatest thing in the world. Now, who shall it be?”
“The sun,” the first mouse said at once, “is the greatest thing in the world. It shines over the whole world.”
“Well, then, I shall marry her to the sun,” said the Mouse King.
“But,” said the second, “a cloud can cover the sun.”
“Then, she must be married to the cloud.”
“But,” said the third, “the rain breaks through the clouds and puts an end to them.”
“That is true. I must marry her to the rain.”
“But,” cried the fourth, “no matter how hard the rain falls, it cannot wash away the trees.”
“Then she must be the tree's wife.”
“But,” shouted the fifth, “a strong wind can blow down the trees.”
“Very true. Then the wind must be her husband.”
“But,” remembered the sixth, “no matter how hard the wind blows, it cannot blow away the earth.”
“Then I must marry her to the earth.”
“But,” called out the seventh, “the earth is covered by the wooden floors of men's houses.”
“Then she shall marry the wooden floor at once.”
“But,” the last said slowly, “no matter how strong the wooden floor is, a mouse can bite his way through it.”
“It is clear that a mouse is the greatest thing in the world,” the happy Mouse King said, with a smile on his face.
