As a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.

His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推薦). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.

As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.

Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (《物種起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.

Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.

4.The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” probably means “_____”.

A. they gave monkeys life

B. they were different from monkeys

C. they were developed from monkeys

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents . They say their parents don’t understand them .They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways , that they are too serious(嚴(yán)肅) — too strict with their children and that they seldom give their children a free hand . It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust(信任) and they often forget how they themselves felt when they were young .

For example , young people like to act on the spot without much thinking . It is one of their ways to show they have grown up and that they can face any difficult situation . However , older people worry more easily . Most of old people plan things ahead , at least in the back of their minds , and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected .

When you want your parents to let you do something , you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it .

Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes and in music . But they do not want to cause any trouble ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world , into which they have not yet been accepted . That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own . And if their parents do not like their music or hairstyle or clothes or their ways of speech , this will make the young people very happy .

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do . All you want is to be left alone and do what you like . It is natural enough , after being a child for so many years , when you were completely under your parents’ control .

If you plan to control your life , you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand

you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do .

1.Whom is this text written for ?

A. Parents

B. Both parents and their children

C. Young people

D. Teachers

2.The underlined expression “on the spot ” means ______ .

A. at the place where something happened.

B. by oneself

C. immediately

D. angrily

3. According to the text , young people usually ______ .

A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything

B. do things without thinking carefully ahead

C. are very strict with themselves

D. think in the same way as their parents do

4. Why do young people like to have clothes and music in their own way ?

A. Because they want to make their parents angry .

B. Because they try to get their parents into trouble .

C. Because they want to try something new and look different from the older people .

D. Because they know they are cleverer than the older people .
