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 discovering nature more than attending medical classes. He left the school without graduating. Next，Charles’s father sent him to school to become a minister（牧师）.He made it to graduation but he didn’t want to become a minister. After graduation，Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as a scientist without any money. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. Their work 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 years. During this 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 an important scientific paper with another man. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them live. His ideas about adaptations are still very important to the study of living things. ( ) 1.When did Darwin go to the medical school？ A.In1809. B.In1825. C.In1849. D.In1828.

Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor. I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time….and I left without getting a cent. ( )5.The author’s roommate offered to help him because ______.
