         November 24, 1859 was a special day in London. On that day, many Londoners rushed to a bookstore to
    buy a book that was just published. The first printing of 1250 copies sold out on the first day.
         The popular book was The Origin of Species (《物种起源》) by British naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-
    1882). In the book, Darwin argued that different forms of life could change over time because of natural
    selection. This means that only those who are best suited to their environment will live and reproduce. Darwin
    supported his arguments with examples he found during his around-the-world trip in the 1830s.
         The book laid the foundation of modern biology. It changed how other scientists understood the appearance
    of life on Earth.
         A hundred and fifty years later, Darwin's theory (理论) of natural selection still has great influence in the
    world of science. But some people have a question: since medicine and modem life have made people healthier,
    are we still evolving (进化) by natural selection?
         The answer is yes,according to Stephen Stems and his team of Yale University researchers. They did a
    study on 2 238 women in the US. They found that shorter,heavier women have more children than thinner,
    taller ones. This trend (趋势) runs among their female children and grandchildren. So if this continues, women
    in 400 years will be about 2cm shorter and a kilo heavier.
         Stems' findings are supported by other scientists. For example, John Hawks at the University of Wisconsin,
    US and his team believe they have found nearly 2000 gene variations(基因变异) in modem humans. Those
    variations allow people to drink milk, fight disease and improve brain development.

    Reading comprehension(阅读理解)

    　　The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile. “More! More!” cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn(喇叭) and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago was it? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis' family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis' teachers asked him to be in the school band. “This horn is yours until you leave our school,” his teacher said. Louis' music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn't learn to read music until he was a man.

    　　When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew he had a wonderful talent(才能). Louis played on the boats that sailed up and down the river. He played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo's horn had as many sounds as ten horns－sometimes slow and sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. “He does make wonderful music,” said the man who listened happily. “Yes,” said another man, “he makes that horn speak.” Then the music ended and the crowd cheered. Louis Armstrong spoke with tears in his eyes, “I think, my friends, you can listen to as much jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isn't it beautiful how music brings us together!”
