His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.Charles father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Charles father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things: eggs, stones, and leaves. His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.为了成为一名医生，十六岁时达尔文就被送到爱丁堡大学(Edinburgh University) 学习。But he was interested in the history of nature.Then he studied at Cambridge University until 1831.Some time later, he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. The research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants, which he sent home from the places he visited.When he returned home, Darwin was warmly greeted by his families and many friends.In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of the changes in nature. Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.By 1859, Darwin had finished his famous book The Origin of Species. It made a great hit in the world of science. He was opposed (反对) by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.请根据文章内容回答问题。（1）Why didnt Charles become a doctor?（2）When did Charles start the research with the Beagle?（3）请将处划线句子翻译成英语。（4）请将处划线句子翻译成汉语。（5）请改写处划线句子， 使其意思与原句一致 。The church and even some scientists_ him.21. （8分） Once my father asked me to hold his hammer while he repaired something, so we could have some time to talk to each other.For 22 years, after I left home for college, he called me every Sunday at 9 am. He was always interested in my life and how my family was doing, and I never once heard him complain about his own life.Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day painting it for three days. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy.Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swingset (秋千组) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him.

I had to get to church, so I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:40 pm that day: my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). I got on a plane immediately, and on the way I thought of all the times I had not taken the time to talk to my father. I realized that I had no idea who he was or what his deepest thoughts were.
