Darwin
The following text is for questions 42 to 44

Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. He came from a wealthy
family and never had to work. He studied medicine and theology. In 1831 he graduated from University
of Cambridge with a degree of theology.

He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On December 27,1831, 22 years old Charles Darwin
joined the crew of the HMS Beagle as a naturalist.The five years expedition collected hydrographic,
geologic, and meteorologic data from South America and many other regions around the world.
Darwin's own observation on this voyage led to his theory of natural selection.

Charles Darwin was greatly influenced by the geologist Adam Sedgwick and naturalist John Henslow in
his development of the theory of natural selection, which was to become the foundation concept
supporting the theory of evolution. Darwin's theory holds that environmental effects lead to varying
degrees of reproductive success in individuals and groups of organisms. Natural selection tends to
promote adaptation in organisms when necessary for survival. This revolutionary theory was published
in 1859 in Darwin's now famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

My wonderful experience at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha

In December 2006, I went to Doha to participate in the 2006 Asian Games taking part in the Bach Volley
Ball Championship. We prepared for a long time, training hard and fighting for approval of our
participation. Nothing was easy. My partner, clear, my coach, King, and I were aiming to get into the top
8 at the Asian Games.

Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle one week before departure, which frustrated me beyond belief. I had
physiotherapy every day following the injury, and tried to recover as quickly as possible. Of course, the
ankle could not heal completely in a few days, so I had no choice but to just try my best and have my
ankle taped when I played in matches.

We played against a team from Thailand, Mongolia, and Malaysia. The most difficult and important
match was that against the Malaysian Team. We played well for the match and tried our very best. But
finally we lost to them and ranked 9. It was so close. We nearly reached our goal - to be among the first
8 teams.

16. Fox and Cat

The Fox and The Cat
One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted
how clever she was. ‘Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the
dogs,’ she said.
‘I know only one trick to get away from dogs,’ said the cat. ‘You should teach me some of yours!’
‘Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,’ replied the
fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder –
the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its
branches, well out of reach of any dog. ‘This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,’ she called
down to the fox. ‘Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?’
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her
mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.
