At that time, Darwin was a young man in his twenties who had studied science inEdinburgh and Cambridge. Through a friend, he was offered the job of studying the plants andanimals of the different countries that the Beagle was to visit. Darwin’s father told him not togo, and the captain of the Beagle said that he did not like the shape of Darwin’s nose; but thatdid not stop him, and in December of that year, Darwin sailed for South America. He spent fiveyears on the ship, collecting many samples and writing down his observations about the livingthings he found.When he returned to England, he tried to work out a theory to explain what he had observed.It was clear that many species were connected with each other in some way, without beingexactly the same. Why was this? Two years after his return, he developed a theory: only thestrongest or the cleverest could survive difficult conditions. Over time, the species changesslowly to fit the environment.

The 64-year-old hadbeen on trial there since February 2002.Born in provincial Pozarevac in 1941, he was the second son of a priest and a school teacher.Both of his parents died when he was still a young adult. The young Milosevic was “untypical”,says Slavoljub Djukic, his unofficial biographer. He was “not interested in sports, and avoidedexcursions and used to come to school dressed in the old-fashioned way – white shirt and tie.”One of his friends said, he could “imagine him as a station-master or punctilious civil servant”.Indeed that is exactly what he might have become, had he not married Mira. She was widelybelieved to be his driving force.At university and beyond he did well. He worked for various firms and was a communist partymember. By 1986 he was head of Sebia’s Committer. But still he had not yet really been noticed.It was Kosovo that gave him his chance. An autonomous province of Serbia, Kosovo was hometo an Albanian majority and a Serbian minority. In 1989, he was sent there to calm fears ofSerbians who felt they were discriminated against. But instead he played the nationalist cardand became their champion. In so doing, he changed into a ruthless and determined man. Athome with Mira he plotted the downfall of his political enemies. Conspiring with the director ofSerbian TV, he mounted a modern media campaign which aimed to get him the most power inthe country.He was elected Serbian president in 1990. In 1997, he became president of Yugoslavia. The restof the story is well-known: his nationalist card caused Yugoslavia’s other ethnic groups to fightfor their own rights, power and lands.

In other words, we do not educate childrenonly for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modem countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free educationfor all — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we canalready see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far largernumber of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, infact, manual work is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only tothink a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far moreimportant than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have nofood. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should getterrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must beeducated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains andability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is verybad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable tosociety. (17.5??)26).

The passage tells us about _______ of the education.(3.5??)第 4 ?页（共 6 ?页）2024/5/7 00'13(A) the means??????????C(B) the system(C) the value(D) the typeAfter 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week hasbecome a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No at when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senioryear. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has been notchanged since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryant’smotive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind andhave a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the teamas a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan wasfamous for his No 23 jersey. Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is“all about money”. Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actuallyjust a dihard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.All this talk has turned the number changed into a major issue.

When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring hisnumber.To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is jersey. Thus, when you see thefamous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O’ Neal, and the Houston rockets’ No 11belongs only to Yao Ming.Lots of stories are behind players’ jersey number selections. Jordan said that he choose No 23because it was roughly half of 45. Jordan’s elder brother wore the No 45 in college.
