Jane Goodall is best known for her 26-year study of the chimps in the wild. There, she made several revolutionary discoveries that made her one of the greatest field scientists of the 20th century.

Born in London in 1934, the expectations for Jane were standard for the time: a marriage to a nice man, followed by a few children. Fortunately, her mother never discouraged (劝阻, 使气馁) her interests: animals and the natural world. Once her mother discovered that little Jane had brought a handful of worms (幼虫) to bed; rather than screaming, she explained that her new little friends needed the soil to live, and together, they took them back to the garden.

Jane was a bookworm who admired Doctor Dolittle and loved the Tarzan novels. Reading did its usual quiet but life-changing thing: Jane developed a dream to go to Africa and live among the wild animals.

Jane realized her dream on July 14, 1960 when she arrived at Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study the chimps. However, for two months, the chimps escaped when they heard her coming. The only thing she saw was the back of a chimp，running away from her.

“The more I thought of the task I had set myself, the more discouraged I became,” Jane wrote in her first book, In the Shadow of Man.

Eventually, she became familiar with a male chimp and his big family. She observed them kiss, hug, pat each other on the back, shake their fingers at each other. She watched them act very human-like.

One day, moving quietly through the jungle, Jane saw the male chimp sit beside a large termite mound (白蚁土堆). He kept taking small braches from trees and putting them in the holes to fish the ants.

In any case, Jane’s discovery became the talk of the scientific world. Harvard’s Stephen Jay Gould observed, “We must now re-think what the words ‘tool’ (工具) and ‘man’ mean or accept chimps as humans.”

1.What did Jane’s mother do when she found the worms on the bed?

A. She studied them carefully. B. She shouted at her daughter.

C. She threw them into the garden. D. She explained they liked the soil.

2.Which is the major reason that made Jane dream to work in the wild?

A. Doctor Dolittle’s invitation. B. Her interest in chimps.

C. The reading in her childhood. D. Her mother’s encouragement.

3.How did Jane feel during the first two months in Africa?

A. Lonely. B. Frightened.

C. Hopeless. D. Content.

4.What did Stephen Jay Gould’s words imply?

A. Chimps should be accepted as humans.

B. Jane’s discovery is of great importance.

C. Only human beings know how to make use of tools.

D. The scientists should confirm the meaning of the words.
