Mary, a 22-year-old young woman, stands in the kitchen of the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel inManila, preparing a cake. It would seem to be         for a cook, but Mary is not normal. She has no hands.
Her disability (殘疾), however, only slows her down while working. Using other parts of her body, Mary can cut grapes and strawberries into pieces. “When I first saw Mary, I was worried she might hurt herself when using a knife, but that has never been a        ,” says the boss of the hotel. “She does not get special treatment and works just as hard as the rest of the cooks.”
Mary has come a long way since the day in September 2002 when she and her uncle were attacked by two men, who were trying to force her family off their land. The 11-year-old girl passed out (暈倒) as she tried to          herself from the attack. After she came to her sense, she found her uncle dead and saw her arms broken. Later, the doctors did an operation. They saved her life but could not save her hands.
In 2006, with the help of the family, Mary went to live at the House with No Steps, a Manila rehabilitation (康復(fù)) and training centre for disabled people. She learned how to write and do housework there. And more        , she became used to her disability. She believed she could live a normal life although she was disabled. She thought she had something important to do in life because she was          alive after the terrible attack. After she finished high school, she took a two-year Hotel and Restaurant Management course because she had enjoyed cooking since she was a little girl.
Mary didn’t shy away from the attention when she was reported on television. “I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it’s          to live a normal life,” Mary says. “It is difficult to make a living, but I don’t lose hope. I believe nothing is impossible if you dream and work hard.

One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations (適應(yīng)能力) was Charles Darwin (達(dá)爾文). 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 (觀察) nature more than attending medical classes and dropped out(輟學(xué)) without graduating.
Next, Charles' father sent him to school to become a minister (牧師). 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.
After graduation, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist. He wasn't the first choice, but he was the lucky one to go. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. The crew's 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 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.
小題1:Darwin was very interested in _____.
A．a(chǎn)ttending medical classesB．the work of a minister
C．sailing around the worldD．science
小題2:The Beagle was a(an) _____.
A．shipB．planeC．plantD．a(chǎn)nimal
小題3:When Darwin published the scientific paper, he was _____ years old.
A．twenty-threeB．twenty-twoC．forty-fiveD．fifty
小題4:The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to (指的是) _____.
A．a(chǎn)daptationsB．Darwin and Wallace

A．Darwin graduated from a medical school.
B．Some animals have adaptations so that they can survive.
