This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before.Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off.Then we follow as
10、they wonder into the forest.Most of the time,chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family.Jane worns us that our grou is going tobe very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right.However,the evening makes it all worthwhile.We watch the mother chimpand her b
11、abies play in the tree.Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night.We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family. Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour.She spent years observing and recording their daily activities.Si
12、nce her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment.However,this was not easy.When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960,it was unusual for a woman to live in a forest.Only after her mother came to helpher for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project.Her work
13、 changed the way people think of chimps.For example,one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat.Until then every thought chimps only eat fruit and nuts.She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other,and her study of their body language helped her work out their s

16、wrong.Once you have seen that you can never forget“ She has achieved everything she wanted to do:working with animals in their own environment,gaining a doctors degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can.She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women. WHY NOT CAR
17、RY ON HER WORK?I enjyed English ,biology,and chemistry at school,but which one should I choose to study at university ?i did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin
18、Qiaozhi, a specalist in womens diseases.She lived from 1901 to 1983 .It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career ,travling abored to study as well as writing books and articles.One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to keeping babies clean,healthy and free from
19、sickness.Why did she write that?Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice?I looked carefully at the text and realize that it was intended for women in the countryside.Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor. Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a wo
20、man to get medical training ata that time.That was a generation when girls education was always placred decond to boys.Was she so much cleverer than anyone else?Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school.What
21、made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patiens.There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a days work,went late at night to deliver a baby for a pool family who could not pay her. By now I could not wait to find out more about her . I disc
22、overed that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to herpatiens and had chosen not to have a family of her own.Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered.By this time I was very excited.Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work?It was sti
23、ll not too late for me to improve my studies,prepare for the university entrance examinations , and ELIZABETH FRYWhen the Quaker Elizabeth married Joseph Fry,it seemed as if her life would be comfortable and peaceful.However,Elizabeth was not content with her easy life and her growing family.She saw
24、 many poor people living near her and she wanted to help them. One day she was asked to visit a prison .At first the prison officers did not want to let her visit the women prisoners because they feared the prisoners would attack her,but Elizabeth was not afraid.She realized that the prisoners behav
25、e badlly because they were treated like animals.They had no beds,clean clothes,food or heating.Any child born in prison had to stay there and had no chance of an education.This meant they would probably have to beg or steal when they grew up and then would return to prison.So the first thing Elizabe
26、th did was to provide food,clean clothes and straw for beds.Later she began a prison schoolfor the chilldren and taught the women to sew,knit and make goods to sell.In this way they able to make a little money for themselves and gain some self-respect.Her lindnesshelped her gain the friendshipof pri
27、soners and they began to try to improve their conditions for themselves.Later Elizabeth was asked to go to the leaders of Britain to discuss how to improve the conditions for prisoners。 Of course she did not do all the work on her own.Other Quaker women helped her and went around the country raising
28、 money for her wprk.Some people did not like her ideas and quarrelled with her.They said that she should spend more time with her family.Other people said she enjoyed being famous toomuch.However,her husband,Joseph,supported and encouraged her,so she continued working to help improve the lives of po
29、or prisoners tillshe died.Her ideas did not disappear after her death and her work was remembered in 1947 when the Quakers were given the Noble Peace Prize.
