Darwinism on trial in American state

In the American state of Kansas, a court-like battle is under way over how the origins of life should be taught in schools. In one corner are scientists and teachers who are insistent that Darwinism and the Theory of Evolution is beyond scientific doubt. In opposition is a group of Christian-right thinkers who believe creationism, or in their terminology "intelligent design", explains how we got here! Intelligent design proclaims the role of an intelligent designer – God – in creating us as human beings. The creationists argue all life did not have a common origin, that life did not start at a molecular level and that we did not descend from apes. Creationist John Sanford, from Cornell University said: "My explanation, humbly offered, is that we were spe­cially created."

This has alarm bells sounding for many educators who dismiss the new theory as a fad of the religious right. Scientists say educational standards would decline if the creationists get their way. The National Academy of Sciences and the National Science Teachers' Association reject intelligent design for having no scientific grounding and for being a religious invention. Many scientists are boycotting the hearings, which they see as pure nonsense. They say Kansas will be ridiculed for sending its students back to the dark ages of scientific thinking. Two of the ten committee members that will decide this issue believe the Earth may be younger than 5,000 years old.

	A) true	B) false	C) no information
1) Charles Darwin has been arrested and is on trial in the USA.
2) A battle is on in Kansas over how to teach the origins of life.
3) Scientists believe the Theory of Evolution is beyond scientific doubt.

5) Scientists say the Kansas school system may become a laughingstock.

6. Read the text and answer the questions.

Windsor Palace is the world's largest and oldest continuously inhabited castle. Occupying over 484,000 square feet, it is over 240 times the size of an average house. William the Conqueror built the first castle on the grounds between 1070 and 1086, but the castle that exists today was largely built by Edward of Windsor in 1350. Edward of Windsor authorized the construction of a new keep, a large chapel, and new fortifications. From a distance, the castle appears dominated by a massive round tower in its center.

In 1475, King Edward IV authorized construction of St. George’s Chapel as a cathedral and royal mausoleum. The chapel became an important destination for pilgrims in the late medieval period and is probably the most famous of the structures within Windsor Palace. During the 1500’s and 1600’s, Windsor Castle was damaged as a result of various wars. In 1660, however, Charles II became interested in restoring the castle and laid out plans for “The Long Walk,” a three-mile long avenue running south from the castle. Charles II also had the royal apartments and St. George’s Hall rebuilt. The royal apartments were spectacular, with numerous carvings, frescoes, and tapestries. The artwork acquired during the rebuilding of Windsor Castle became known as the Royal Collection, which remains relatively unchanged today.

In 1824, George IV moved into the castle and was granted 300,000 pounds to renovate Windsor Castle. The entire castle was remodeled and the architect, Jeffrey Wyattville, succeeded in blending the castle to seem like one entity rather than a collection of buildings. Wyattville raised and lowered the heights of various buildings to give them symmetry and improved the appearance and structure of others.
