One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations was Charles Darwin. He was born in England in 1809.He wasn't the best student in his school.

Next，Charles' father sent him to school to become a minister(牧师). This time he made it to graduation，but he didn't want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.
After graduation，Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist. He wasn't the first choice，but he was the lucky one to go. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. The crew's task was to make maps of the places they visited.
On December 27th，1831，Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact，it lasted five. During the time，he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to study.
Twenty-three years later，Darwin published a scientific paper with another man named Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them survive. They are passed on to offspring (后代).

九、任务型阅读(每小题2分，共10分) (词数：约220；建议用时：6分钟)
Running away is a serious problem. There are lots of runaway and homeless kids living in the streets around the world.
孩子们为什么想离家出走呢？
★Some kids run away because they're afraid to tell their parents the bad things that they did at school or in society.
★Some kids run away because there is violence (暴力) in the family.
★Some kids run away because their parents divorce (离婚) or marry again.
★Some kids run away because they have problems at school.
What will you do if your friend wants to run away from home?
If your friend is thinking about running away, tell him or her that it is difficult to survive (幸存) in the streets. Try to help your friend feel less alone.
Whatever the problem is, there are other ways to solve it. Maybe you can't think of the ways right now, but an adult (成年人) will know how to help you. You should tell an adult that your friend plans to run away as soon as possible. Being a real friend doesn't mean keeping a secret that may hurt someone. And running away isn't a solution for either of you. It only makes more problems and danger.
