In his autobiography, Darwin himself speaks of his intellectual powers with extraordinary modesty. He points out that he always experienced much difficulty in expressing himself clearly and concisely, but (46) he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations. He disclaimed the possession of any great quickness of apprehension or wit, such as distinguished Huxley. (47) He asserted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics. His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry. (48) On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. This, he thought, could not be true, because the “Origin of Species” is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and has convinced many able men. No one, he submits, could have written it without possessing some power of reasoning. He was willing to assert that “I have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgment, such as every fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher degree.” (49) He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.”

Writing in the last year of his life, he expressed the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: “Now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my taste for pictures or music.” (50) Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.

听力原文： To help the people who are suffering from AIDS with drugs may need a lot of money. In Africa it may cost more than one person earns in one year. (30)However, some American hospitals throw away a lot of drugs every day. This made one man start to help the sick people in Africa.

The man is Lee Wildes. He lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Five years ago he learned that he was sick with HIV. He took a vacation to Africa where he saw many people also had AIDS. (31)Lee was a nurse and he knows that the drugs worth of millions of dollars are thrown away by hospitals in the United States. So, when he came back, he began to collect drugs and send these drugs to Africa. Lee gets emails from people in Africa asking for AIDS drugs. He collects pills that are not needed from American hospitals and also from those who died from AIDS. He has sent pills for a hundred people in six African countries. Every year he travels to Africa to work with sick people and tries his best to help them.

(32)Giving left over drugs away is against the American law. Though he gives out drugs without a license, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly effort. There are now 25 million Africans sick with AIDS. Lee helps only 100 people, but it seems a great success for him.

(31)

A．He wants to make millions of dollars from doing so,

B．He believes the pills can help save patients there.

C．The thrown away pills were piling up in American hospitals.

D．He has established his own clinics on the African continent.
