    One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations(适应能力) was Charles Darwin(达尔文). He was born in England in 1809. He wasn't the best student in his school, but when he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors observing(观察) nature more than having medical classes. He dropped out without graduating.
    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.
    Luckily, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist after graduation. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. Their 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 this time, he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to begin his scientific 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). Darwin's ideas about adaptations are still very important to the study of living things.

I'm Ben. Today was not a good day. First, I slept late and Morn shouted at me to wake me up. When I went to the kitchen for breakfast, I found there was no hamburger. So I decided to have some bread, but I burned (烤糊) it. I had to eat it because there was no more bread. There was no juice, either. I just had a cup of water.

When I was at the bus stop, I found that I forgot my wallet (钱包), so I had to go back home to get it. Of course, I missed my bus and had to wait for a long time.

After lunch, it was time to give the teacher my homework. I reached into my bag to get it but it wasn't there. I left it at home……

Many people have heard of Peter Dinklage from his role in the popular TV drama Game of Thrones. But few know his story. Peter Dinklage is only 135 cm tall. His life shows that a small man can have a great effect(影响).

Dinklage was born with dwarfism(侏儒症). As he grew up, his legs and arms stopped growing, but his head kept becoming bigger.

At first, Dinklage's look brought himself much trouble. Other boys often made fun of him. Dinklage felt sad but he never gave up on himself. When he was in the fifth grade, he played his first role in a school play. The show was successful. That made him want to be an actor. After high school, Dinklage went to Bennington College to study acting. There his teachers and students helped him turn his look into his advantage(优势). From then on, he began to act in films and TV dramas.

Many people think of Dinklage as a spokesman for people with dwarfism, but Dinklage doesn't think so. He says, "Everyone is different. Just because I'm OK with it, I can't preach(传道)how to be OK with it."
