The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Robert Darwin (查爾斯·羅伯特·達(dá)爾文), was born in England on February 12, 1809. As a boy, Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He enjoyed watching nature, and comparing what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things, birds, eggs, stones and leaves.

At sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University (愛丁堡大學(xué)) to become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.

Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University (劍橋大學(xué)). There he studied until 1831.

Some time later he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist.

His teacher advised him to go. So when the Beagle left England in December,1831, Darwin was on it.

The trip lasted almost five years. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants.

In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, and there he continued his studies of change in nature. Darwin 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”(物種起源). And then he wrote some other famous books. Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.

Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture．In Europe for example，coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee．On the other hand，places like this were not as common in North America in the past．Instead，people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends．The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks（星巴克） coffee shops spread across the country．

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971in downtown Seattle，Washington，in the USA．It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans．The coffee shop's business did well，and by 1981there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle．

In 1983，Schultz traveled to Italy．The special environment of the espresso （濃咖啡） bars there caught his eyes．Back in the USA，Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual，and customers everywhere seemed to like it．Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA．Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well．Today，there are more than 16，000Starbucks coffee shops all over the world．

However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems．In fact，many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years．On the hand，this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area．On the other hand，stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the feel the same everywhere environment offered by Starbucks．
