“Never give up!” It is my law(法則) of my life. It has brought me   16  . I learned the law from my father’s   17  story.
My father was  18  in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then   19  in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework   20  midnight. Life was hard, because they had no   21  !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where   22  people can become rich.
“   23   don’t I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.
So , my father came to America. “ I had thought it was easy to   24  money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire（雇傭） me because I spoke   25  English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables,  26  dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was   27  for the first few years. I worked from 10a.m to 11p.m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t  28   the schooling(學費).
My father   29  working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me, “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come   30  in life.” That is what I learned from my father.

The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Charles’ father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Charles’ father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things: eggs, stones, and leaves. His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.
①為了成為一名醫(yī)生，十六歲時達爾文就被送到愛丁堡大學(Edinburgh University) 學習。But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he studied at Cambridge University until 1831.
Some time later, he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. The research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants, which he sent home from the places he visited.
When he returned home, Darwin was warmly greeted by his families and many friends.
In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of the changes in nature. ②Darwin 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. It made a great hit in the world of science. ③He was opposed (反對) by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.
Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.
