    Angela Chang(张韶涵) didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career. She went to many different record companies. But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.
    “I’d never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002. When she got a piece of work, she cried.
    She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well. She won many awards.
    “You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,” said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You can’t forget it.”
    But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay. Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays. But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired. Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene right.
    “I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail. You only fail when you give up.”
    Now with four albums behind her - Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song, “I have a pair of invisible wings. They fly me to the sky and give me hope.”

    A young man named Charles Lyell had different ideas. He wrote a book about them called Principles of Geology. The earth，according to Lyell，was not only thousands of years old，it was millions of years old. As to the common belief that changes in the earth’s surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood，he said that this might happen once in a while，but usually these changes took place very slowly. He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time. The changes，he said，were caused by the long-term action of the winds and seas，and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under the earth’s surface. Once in a great while he thought，a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake. But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily.
    Professor Henslow was interested in Lyell’s ideas，but he did not actually believe them. Charles Darwin could not make up his mind about them. But they set him thinking along lines which would later change the beliefs of thoughtful people all over the world.
    At Cambridge，Charles Darwin studied just enough to pass the examination，and received his college degree in 1831.During this time，he had become more and more interested in geology. At the end of the school year，he went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations (构成) and to search for fossils. Fossils are the remains of ancient living things. They are usually found fixed in rocks in the earth’s crust (地壳). Fossils may be of animals，such as fish，insects，birds，or humans. They may be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees.
    When a living creature dies，it usually decays (腐烂)or is eaten by animals. However，if it sinks into a riverbed or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm，the bones are kept up in the earth. Over many years the soft inner parts of a bone disappear，leaving the inside hollow. Water containing mineral enters into the hollow. Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy，like stone.
    71.According to Charles Lyell，it is mainly        that the earth has been formed like today’s shape.
    A. from the beginning of time                           B. past some experiences of big flood
    C. over a very long period of years                    D. because of several big earthquakes
    72.Charles Lyell believed the fact that a mountain is formed         .
    A. more by seas than by volcanoes                     B. more slowly than suddenly
    C. more by an earthquake than by winds      D. more steadily than quickly
    73.Unlike Professor Henslow，Charles Darwin         .
    A. never thought Lyell’s ideas were right
    B. did made up his mind not to accept Lyell’s ideas
    C. thought about what the world were then thinking about
    D. thought over Lyell’s ideas and developed them
    74.The main purpose of Darwin’s going to North Wales was to         .
    A. make a study of fossils
    B. appreciate the rock formation
    C. to do research work into dead animals
    D. look for plants from tiny leaves to huge trees
    75.In which order are fossils formed?
    a. A living thing sinks into a riverbed or sands.
    b. Water goes into a bone hollow together with mineral.
    c. Something soft in a bone disappears.
    d. The hardened mineral makes the bone hard.
    e. The bone becomes hollow inside.
    A.a b c d e             B.c a b e d                    C.a c e b d                    D.e c d b a
