“You care for nothing but shooting dogs and catching rats. You will shame yourself and all your family,” Darwin's father once said to him.
Most people know that Charles Darwin was the father of evolutionary biology. However, what is not widely known is what sort of person he was.
In his autobiography (自传), Darwin described himself as a rather “naughty” child. He stole fruit from the trees on the side of his parents' house, made up wild stories, and tried to be the center of attention in the family.
Even worse, it seemed that Charles Darwin was a lazy young man and a slow learner at grammar school. He was a rather shy student but he did take great pleasure in showing off his athletic skills to the other schoolboys. It is not known how well Darwin did at school, but we could say that he was likely to be an student.
When Darwin was nine years old, his father sent him to a boy's boarding school. At this school, Darwin learned classics, ancient history and Greek, all of which he found boring. He was not inspired much by his schooling. He found his only pleasure there was reading Shakespeare's historical plays, and the poems of Byron, Scott, and Thomson. His increased interest in natural science was encouraged by events outside his formal education.
As Darwin grew older, collecting became his major hobby. It became very clear that Darwin was not taking his studies seriously.

The world's first hydrogen powered (氢动力的) trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers on Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony state. The new trains will run 100 kilometre trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers per hour.
A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Teams in Germany and France worked together on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model, called the Coradia iLint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution producing diesel (柴油) trains.
The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non electrified train lines with low levels of noise. It uses a process that combines hydrogen with oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions (排放物) are water and steam.
Hydrogen powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony.
The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwabl, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen powered trains. She said the move was an important first step in using clean burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.
Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be on the rails by 2022.
