        November 24, 1859 was a special day in London. On the day, many Londoners rushed to a bookstore
    to buy a book that was just published. The first printing of 1,250 copies sold out on the first day.
        The popular book was The origin of Species (《物种起源》) by British naturalist Charles Darwin
    (1809-1882). In the book, Darwin argued that different forms of life could change over time because of
    natural selection. This means that only those who are best suited to their environment will live and reproduce.
    Darwin supported his arguments with examples he found during his around-the-world trip in the 1830s.
        The book laid the foundation of modern biology. It changed how other scientists understood the
    appearance of life on Earth.
        A hundred and fifty years later, Darwin's theory (理论) of natural selection still has great influence in
    the world of science. But some people have a question: since medicine and modern life have made people
    healthier, are we still evolving (进化) by natural selection?
        The answer is yes, according to Stephen Sterns and his team of Yale University researchers. They did
    a study on 2,238 women in the US. They found that shorter, heavier women have more children then
    thinner, taller ones. This trend (趋势) runs among their female children and grandchildren. So if this
    continues, women in 400 years will be about 2cm shorter and a kilo heavier.
        Sterns' findings are supported by other scientists. For example, John Hawks at the University of
    Wisconsin, US and his team believe they have found nearly 2,000 gene variations (基因变异) in modern
    humans. Those variations allow people to drink milk, fight disease and improve brain development.
    1. Was The origin of Species a popular book? 
                                                                                                              
    2. When was the book published?
                                                                                                              
    3. What does natural selection mean?
                                                                                                              
    4. Why does the writer introduce Sterns' findings in the passage?
                                                                                                              
    5. Why is Darwin's theory of natural selection important? 
                                                                                                              
    1. Yes.
    2. In November 24, 1859.
    3. Only those who are best suited to their environment will live and reproduce.
    4. To support the idea that we're still evolving by natural selection.
    5. The theory laid the foundation of modern biology. It changed other scientists' thinking about the
        appearance of life on Earth. And it still has great influence in the world of science today.

         Some people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by heart, while there are
    people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over.
         Charles Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street in London and
    then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men in the world have had wonderful
    memories.
         A good memory is great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering
    what he hears when he is a small child. Some children-like boys and girls who live in foreign countries with
    their parents-seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In schools it is not easy to learn a second
    language because the pupils have so little time to practice it, and they are busy with other subjects as well. 
        The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we
    feel, hear, smell and taste. 
        Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
    (     )1. All the humans have good memories.
    (     )2. Charles Dickens, the famous American writer, could remember things well.
    (     )3. A good memory is of importance in your learning a language.
    (     )4. Sometimes we can learn a second language without going to school.
    (     )5. The human mind is a good camera.
