Charles Rbert Darwin was brn n 12 February 1809 in Shrpshire, England. Darwin’s childhd passin was science, and his interest in chemistry, hwever, was clear; he was even nicknamed ‘Gas’ by his classmates.
In 1825, his father sent him t study medicine at Edinburgh University, where he learned hw t classify plants. Darwin became passinate abut natural histry and this became his fcus while he studied at Cambridge. Darwin went n a vyage tgether with Rbert Fitzry, the captain f HMS Beagle, t Suth America t facilitate British trade in Patagnia. The jurney was life-changing. Darwin spent much f the trip n land cllecting samples f plants, animals and rcks, which helped him t develp an understanding f the prcesses that shape the Earth’s surface. Darwin’s analysis f the plants and animals that he gathered led him t express dubts n frmer explanatins abut hw species frmed and evlved ver time.
Darwin’s wrk cnvinced him that natural selectin was key t understanding the develpment f the natural wrld. The thery f natural selectin says that individuals f a species are mre likely t survive when they inherit (经遗传获得) characteristics best suited fr that specific envirnment. These features then becme mre widespread and can lead eventually t the develpment f a new species. With natural selectin, Darwin argued hw a wide variety f life frms develped ver time frm a single cmmn ancestr.
Darwin married his cusin, Emma Wedgwd, in 1839. When Darwin’s eldest daughter, Annie, died frm a sudden illness in 1851, he lst his belief in Gd. His tenth and final child, Charles Waring Darwin, was brn in 1856. Significantly fr Darwin, this baby was disabled, altering hw Darwin thught abut the human species. Darwin had previusly thught that species remained adapted until the envirnment changed; he nw believed that every new variatin was imperfect and that a struggle t survive was what drve species t adapt.
Thugh rejected at the beginning, Darwin’s thery f evlutin by natural selectin is nwadays well accepted by the scientific cmmunity as the best evidence-based explanatin fr the diversity and cmplexity f life n Earth. The Natural Histry Museum’s library alne has 478 editins f his On the Origin f Species in 38 languages.
1．What made Darwin recnsider the rigin and develpment f species?

B．enjyed being called nicknames related t science
C．learned sme knwledge abut plants when studying medicine

When yu are little, it’s nt hard t believe yu can change the wrld. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age f 12, I addressed the peple at the Ri Earth Summit. “I am nly a child” I tld them. “Yet I knw that if all the mney spent n war was spent n ending pverty and finding envirnmental answers, what a wnderful place this wrld wuld be. At schl yu teach us nt t fight with thers, t wrk things ut, t respect thers, t clean up ur mess, nt t hurt ther creatures, t share, nt t be greedy. Then, why d yu g ut and d the thing yu tell us nt t d? Yu grwn-ups say yu lve us, but I challenge yu, please, t make ur actins reflect yur wrds.”

And we are leaning that what we wanted fr the future when we were 12 was idealistic and inncent.
Tday I’m n lnger a child, but I’m wrried abut what kind f envirnment my children will grw up in. I knw change is pssible, because I am changing, still figuring ut what think.

A Pilgrimage t Mnt Blanc
It was n a grey winter’s day in my parents’ huse utside Glasgw that I first suggested Mnt Blanc in summer. I knew I shuld make mre effrt t spend time with my 74-year-ld dad, but what I was prpsing at his age was a risk. A ten-day hike arund ne f Eurpe’s highest muntains seemed a little extreme.
“Old age desn’t cme alne,” he replied, implying the memry lss frm a recent life-threatening strke. Yet, t stir memry in lng-frgtten ftprints seemed like the right thing t d. We bked a flight, and fur mnths later, arrived in the shadw f Mnt Blanc in Chamnix, France.
That first sunlit afternn, it was instantly bvius that we had made the right decisin. The pathway ahead was quiet. Quick-fted hikers walked past us, eyes fcused n a ridge (山脊) that marched suth t the Italian brder. But there was n sign f wrry n my hiking partner’s brw. Only determinatin.
My dad’s accunts f his time in the muntains remain amng the defining stries f my childhd. The first time it left its mark n me was when I uncvered a junk bx full f prjectr slides taken in the summer f 1970, when he and tw f his friends cmpleted a previusly untried rute up the verwhelmingly dangerus Nrth Face f the Eiger in Switzerland.
That was nw mre than half his lifetime ag. And, yet, here we were, marching side by side arund the Mnt Blanc, tracing an invisible rute with ur fingers ver the same harsh summits he had cnquered lng ag. What I had always seen as an bsessin with the muntains revealed itself t be a bnd that I never knew we had.
By the end f the week, I sensed we may have achieved what we bth had thught impssible. We made ur final push twards the Cl du Brévent abve the Chamnix valley. We climbed up int a narrw wrld f stne, meeting Mnt Blanc face n.
T capture the mment, I tk a pht, but nly then did it dawn n me that it was nearly the same cmpsitin as n a slide I had first seen in ne f thse junk bxes. There was that smile, thse eyes fixed n the hrizn, the beautiful Alpine ridges f Mnt Blanc crwding ut the backgrund. Fr a split secnd, it lked as if nthing had changed.

When yu think abut cffee alternatives, garlic is prbably ne f the last things that cmes t mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that ne Japanese inventr used t create a drink that lks and tastes like cffee.
74-year-ld Ykitm Shimtai, a cffee shp wner in Amri Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic cffee” is the result f a cking blunder he made ver 30 years ag, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scrched garlic’s arma, he mashed it up with a spn and mixed it with ht water. The resulting drink lked and tasted a lt like cffee. Making a mental nte f his discvery, Ykimt carried n with his jb, and nly started researching garlic cffee again after he retired.
Cmmitted t turning his weird drink int a cmmercial prduct, Ykitm Shimtai spent years ptimizing the frmula, and abut five years ag, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with.
T make his disslvable garlic grunds, he rasts the clves in an electric ven, and, after they’ve cled ff, smashes them int fine particles and packs them in dripbags.
“My drink is prbably the wrld’s first f its kind,” the garlic cffee inventr tld Kyd News.
“It cntains n caffeine s it’s gd fr thse wh wuld like t drink cffee at night r pregnant wmen.”
“The bitterness f burned garlic apparently helps create the cffee-like flavr,” Shimtai adds.
He claims that, althugh his garlic cffee des give ff an arma f rasted garlic, it desn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thrughly cked. And if yu can get past the smell, the drink apparently des taste a lt like actual cffee.
If decaf isn’t gd enugh fr yu, and yu’re in the md fr smething new, yu can try Ykitm Shimtai’s garlic cffee at his shp, in the city f Ninhc, Iwate Prefecture, r buy yur wn dripbags fr just 324 yen($2.8).

Fr the past three decades, cmpanies and cnsumers have benefited frm crss — brder cnnectins that have helped t maintain a steady supply f electrnics, clthes, tys and ther gds s abundant that it has managed t keep prices lw acrss the bard.
Hwever, as the pandemic and the Russia — Ukraine cnflict cntinue t weigh n trade and business ties, that perid f plenty appears t be underging a partial reversal. Cmpanies are rethinking where t surce their prducts and are stckpiling inventry (库存), even at the ptential cst f lwering their efficiency and increasing their peratin expense. If the situatin lasts fr very lng, culd have imprtant implicatins fr inflatin (通货膨胀) and the wrld ecnmy.
American ecnmists are debating whether recent supply chain trubles and geplitical cnflicts will result in a shake-up f glbal prductin, in which factries that had previusly been sent ffshre r areas with fewer tax regulatins, mve back t the United States r int ther mre stable cuntries. If this happens, a decades-lng decline in the prices f many gds culd cme t an end. We may even witness a slide backwards, meaning a ptential bst in prices and verall inflatin as a result.
The perid f glbal integratin befre the pandemic made many f the things Americans buy cheaper. Cmputers and ther frms f technlgy made factries mre efficient, and they rlled ut sneakers, kitchen tables, and electrnics at a pace unmatched in histry. Cmpanies slashed their prductin csts by mving factries ffshre, where wages were lwer. The adptin f steel shipping cntainers and ever larger carg ships allwed prducts t be transprted frm Bangladesh and China t Seattle and Tupel and everywhere in between at astnishingly lw prices.
Thse changes, hwever, had cnsequences fr American factry wrkers, wh saw many jbs disappear. Katherine Tai, the U. S. trade representative, said that, while American cnsumers have enjyed the “luxury” f lw prices fr imprted gds fr a lng time nw, the system upn which it was built has always been a very “fragile” ne. Americans are nt just cnsumers, but als wrkers wh have t cmpete in a glbal marketplace fr talent where glbalizatin “has damaged pprtunities and wages fr average American wrkers”.
“Sme returning is ccurring — let’s make n mistake abut that.” Ngzi Oknj-Iweala., the Directr-General f the Wrld Trade Organizatin, said in an interview. But the data shws that mst businesses are reducing their risk by building up their inventries and finding additinal suppliers in lw-cst cuntries, such as Vietnam and Mexic. This prcess culd end up helping mre deeply integtate prer cuntries in Africa and ther parts f the wrld int the glbal value chains, said Dr. Oknj-Iweala.
The intertwined trajectry (轨迹) f glbalizatin, lw prices, and inflatin n the whle will be clsely watched by ecnmists ver the years t cme. “It wuld certainly be a different wrld.” Jerme H. Pwel, the chair f the Federal Reserve, said when asked abut a pssible mve away frm glbalizatin. “It’s nt bvius hw dramatically cnditins will change,” he said. “But it’s clear that it’s slwed dwn.”

There was much betting and peple went in and ut f the rm under the kersene lights and he had lked at the arm and hand f the negr and at the negr’s face. They changed the referees every fur hurs after the first eight s that the referees culd sleep. Bld came ut frm under the fingernails f bth his and the negr’s hands and they lked each ther in the eye and at their hands and frearms and the bettrs went in and ut f the rm and sat n high chairs against the wall and watched. The walls were painted bright blue and were f wd and the lamps threw their shadws against them. The negr’s shadw was huge and it mved n the wall as the breeze mved the lamps.
The dds wuld change back and frth all night and they fed the negr rum and lighted cigarettes fr him. Then the negr, after the rum, wuld try fr a tremendus effrt and nce he had the ld man, wh was nt an ld man then but was Santiag El Campen, nearly three inches ff balance. But the ld man had raised his hand up t dead even again. He was sure then that he had the negr, wh was a fine man and a great athlete, beaten. And at daylight when the bettrs were asking that it be called a draw and the referee was shaking his head, he had unleashed his effrt and frced the hand f the negr dwn and dwn until it rested n the wd. The match had started n a Sunday mrning and ended n a Mnday mrning.
Many f the bettrs had asked fr a draw because they had t g t wrk n the dcks lading sacks f sugar r at the Havana Cal Cmpany.
Otherwise everyne wuld have wanted it t g t a finish. But he had finished it anyway and befre anyne had t g t wrk.
Fr a lng time after that everyne had called him The Champin and there had been a return match in the spring. But nt much mney was bet and he had wn it quite easily since he had brken the cnfidence f the negr frm Cienfuegs in the first match. After that he had a few matches and then n mre. He decided that he culd beat anyne if he wanted t badly enugh and he decided that it was bad fr his right hand fr fishing. He had tried a few practice matches with his left hand. But his left hand had always been a traitr and wuld nt d what he called n it t d and he did nt trust it.
