Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. He came form 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 Beagles as a naturalist. The five years

expedition collected hydrographic, geologic, and meteorological 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 Sedgwck and natua-list john Henslow in his development of the theory of natural selection, which was to

become the foundation concept supporting the theory 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 revolution theory was published in 1859 in Darwin’s now famous On the Original Species by Means of Natural Selection.

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution believed that ....

• People could defend themselves naturally

• Environment affected natural selection

• Organisms needed adaption to survive

• People and nature supported each other

• Natural selection tends to adapt organisms to survive.

A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It is a machine that moves.

It follows instructions. The instructions come from a computer. Because it is a machine, it does not make mistakes. And it does not get tired. And it never complains. Unless you tell it to!

Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things. For example, robots can help make cars. Some robots are used to explore dangerous places. For example, robots can help explore volcanoes. Some robots are used to clean things. These robots can help vacuum your house. Some robots can even recognize words. They can be used to help answer telephone calls. Some robots look like humans. But most robots do not. Most robots just look like machines.

Long ago, people imagined robots. Over 2,000 years ago, a famous poet imagined robots. The poet’s name was Homer. His robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and they made things. But they were not real. They were imaginary. Nobody was able to make a real robot. The first real robot was made in 1961. It was called Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It looked like a giant arm.

In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things that we can’t do. Or they will do things that we don’t want to do. Or they will do things that are too dangerous for us. Robots will help us fight fires. They will help us fight wars. They will help us fight sickness. They will help us discover things. They will help make life better.

According to the author, robots may be used to

I. make cars

II. explore volcanoes

III. answer telephone calls
