Ⅱ.[2019·赤峰]阅读理解
The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Darwin's father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Darwin's father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy, Darwin 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, birds, eggs, stones and leaves. His father did not like this, as Darwin was not studying very well at school.
At the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Edinburgh University to study in order that he could become a doctor. But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he was sent to study in Cambridge University. There he studied until 1831.
