Over the past billions of years,many animals and plants have lived on this beautiful planet. 1 This is because they couldn’t adapt to(适应)where they lived. To survive,living things must change over time. This is called evolution(进化).
When reading this article,please remember that every one of us is a lucky dog. 2 After years of evolution,now we have the abilities to live in the world and enjoy it. Just like humans,other animals on Earth also evolve great abilities. 3 To adapt to life there,they have evolved longer necks to reach the high trees,as well as longer legs to run away from lions and cheetahs(猎豹).
However,evolution also gives giraffes a strange habit：They only sleep for about 30 minutes a day and less than 5 minutes a time,and they sleep standing！Why are they so wakeful？ 4 They need longer time getting off the ground and run. Because of this special sleep style,they won’t become easy meals for others.
5 It helps animals to live,but it sometimes also gives them what they don’t really want. Don’t feel sorry. It’s part of natural selection(选择). In order to survive,all of this is necessary.
A. We evolve,and we survive！
B. Well,that’s because they are so tall.
C. Let’s take frogs for example：they can breathe without their mouths！

The Changes of TV Viewing Habits
With the development of Internet technology,people’s TV viewing habits have changed a lot over the years. In the past, people could only watch programmes on TV at home. There were fewer programmes and they were covered at a fixed time. They didn't have many choices. But now, there are different types of programmes to choose from. People can also watch them either on computer or smart phone. Whenever they want to, they can watch it anywhere. Although there are more programmes and we can watch them more freely now, some programmes are not suitable for us, so we must learn to control ourselves and choose good ones.
