One night, a little swallow flew over the city. He was very  16  and wanted to have a good sleep in the city. When he saw the Statue of the Happy Prince (王子), he flew down and got ready to sleep  17  the feet of the Happy Prince.
Just as he was putting his head under his wing, some  18  fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked  19 , he found the sky was  20  clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly, he saw some tears were running down the Prince’s golden  21 .
22  are you crying?” asked the swallow.
“In a little street, there’s a poor house. From one of the windows, I see a woman  23  at a table. She’s sewing clothes for  24  women to wear. In a bed in the corner of the room, her little boy is sick. He’s asking for oranges, but his mother has only water to give him, so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty  25  the mother is so sad. Little swallow, will you please take her the  26  from the top of my sword (宝剑)?”
“It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place, but I will stay with you and do as you ask.”
The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman’s room and  27  it beside the woman’s needle.
 28  he flew back, he told the Prince what he had done. “It ‘s strange,” he added, “It’s so cold but I feel quite  29  now.”
“That’s  30  you have done a good thing,” said the Prince. The little swallow began to think about this, and then he fell asleep.

The motivation to succeed comes from the burning desire to achieve a purpose. Napoleon Hill wrote, “whatever the mind of man can conceive (设想) and believe, the mind can achieve.”
A young man asked Socrates (苏格拉底) the secrets to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning.  When they meet, Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river.

The boy struggled(挣扎) to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy stared turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp(大口喘气) and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” the boy replied. “Air.” Socrates said,“ That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

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.
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.
