17、iding. Today Tm a professional hang-glide instructor, but at the time I was one of only about a dozen in the country doing it. I was lucky to survive: the sport was so new and dangerous then. In 1997 I heard about the Birdman competition, in which participants (参与者）compete to fly the furthest distan

18、ce; I thought it sounded like fun. I felt that a hang-glider, which usually travels around 90 metres, could go as far as 100 metres one day.

20、 20 seconds. It was the longest ever flight from a pier, carrying me 159.8 metres until I touched the water. Twenty seconds is a long time when youre doing 45 miles an hour, flying over the waves.

21、een more difficult. Im nearly 60 now. Competitors have always joked about how theyll probably be throwing me off the pier.

22、My wife was obviously very concerned, but I keep fit. As long as I dont overwork myself, and prepare properly for the event, theres no reason J cant do it for the next 12, 13 years.

27、 through natural selection. And he did that 27 years before Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. And they recognized that he did so but other people since have simplified the story and tended to concentrate just on Darwin.”So Patrick Matthews relative obscurity (默默无名）may simply be down to us the genera

28、l public wanting to simplify things. But Dr. Patricia Fara, senior tutor at Clare College Cambridge, points out that Darwins work might have received more attention because he had powerful friends.Dr. Patricia Fara explains that Darwin had the most famous, most outstanding members of the scientific

29、society in Victorian times, who were pushing on his behalf. Having a scientific theory being accepted is not just a matter of whether the theorys right.”Maybe it is time for us to remember Patrick Matthew, a pioneer of the story of survival through adaptation that is at the heart of evolution.12.
