When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very l    work. Some just did enough to pass the exams. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T   House than working in the library.
Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write “True” or “False”. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e   . Then he told me of his idea.
“It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss (抛) the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h    of the questions right.”
The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b    the rest of us.
The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. “Oh, good,” he said. “I am sure you have got the r    of the test. Did I pass the test? ”
The teacher looked at him and smiled, “Ah, it’s you, Braines. Just a minute. ” Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it. “I am sorry, Braines, you f   ! ”

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.
小题1:Darwin was a      and had great interests in exploring nature though he was_____work.

It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot (盲点)on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment (实验) that can make something disappear(消失) when one eye is open.
Make a card which is as big as a postcard, and write two English letters L and R on it. Write L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm(厘米) away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you’ll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you’ll find the letter R disappearing.
Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won’t be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.
小题1: Where should we write the two letters?
小题2:Which letter should be written on the left?
小题3:Which eye do you close when R disappear?
小题4:What will happen if the image (影像) of the letter falls on the blind spot?
小题5:.Do all people know that there is a blind spot (盲点)on their eyes?

Things are going great in Cannes(戛纳), France. I have an exciting experience here. I have only been here at the film festival for two days, but I have already seen four films. When the films are not on, I like to go to watch the fashionable people on the beach. Everywhere you look, there are famous film stars and directors. I saw three of my favourite stars hanging out at the festival yesterday. However, I was too nervous to talk to them.
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, about twenty films are competing for the main prize, the Palme d’Or(金棕榈奖). The films are from all over the world—Europe, Asia, North America, Africa… 
There are also so many different types of films, and lots of them are from countries which are not famous for the film making business. For someone who loves films, this is heaven(天堂)!
If you come to the festival, the following suggestions will be helpful. First, you’ll need to remember to bring your invitation, because you cannot watch any of the films without one. 
Second, you’ll need to bring some nice clothes. During the day everyone walks around in T-shirts and shorts. But in the evening, everyone has to wear formal(正式的) clothes. I am wearing a long dress all the time!
