Name: Dame Jane Morris Goodall
Born: 3 April 1934
Known for: Being the first person to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in the wild
Important discoveries:
Found that chimpanzees have emotions, use tools and eat meat.
(N: National Geographic Kids Magazine J: Jane Goodall)
N: Hi Jane, when did you first know you wanted to work with animals?
J: I was ten when I decided I wanted to go to Africa and live with wild animals and write books about them.
That’s about 70 years ago now, and at that time then girls in England didn’t have those opportunities (机会). So
everybody laughed at me and said, “Jane, d___51___ about something you can achieve.” But my mother said, “If
you really want something, you’re going to have to work hard and never give up!”
N: Great a___52___! What’ s been unusual about the work you’ve done?
J: I studied animals in a different way. While I was in Tanzania in the 1960s, other scientists told me I’d done
my whole study of chimpanzees w___53___. They explained that I shouldn’t have given the chimpanzees names and
that they should have been numbered. I was told I couldn’t talk about their personalities, minds or emotions because
they thought only humans had those things. But luckily, I’d learned from my dog as a child that what they said was
not t___54___ at all.N: It sounds like having a childhood pet really helped you in your studies! What are you most p___55___ of?
J: Helping people to understand that humans are part of the animal kingdom, not separate from it. When I started
out, nobody else was studying chimpanzees in the wild, so I was able to show how their behaviour is like o___56___-
kissing, hugging, holding hands, patting one another, etc.
N: What t___57___ would you give to NG Kids readers who want to have a wild career like yours?
J: You’ve got to really, really want it! You could go to university and go straight into research, but there are also
lots of chances for volunteering or for working at zoos. Keep your ears open for opportunities.
N: Thanks for the chat, Jane!
D. Answer the questions (根据对话内容回答下列问题)(12分)
My friend Maya and I always make New Year’ s resolutions (新年计划). but we can never keep them. So, last
year, we decided to be “resolution partners” and write our resolutions together. We made a list of things each of us
would do every single day:
New Year’s Resolutions
1 Bake something delicious.
2 . Eat super and healthy lunch.
3. Do 80 sit-ups and 50 push-ups
4. Do something big to help the planet.
Maya& Jill
The next morning, I went to the kitchen at 5:45 to bake cookies. When l arrived at school, I took a bite of the
cupcakes Maya made in the morning and it was delicious!
We had a difficult math test that morning, which made us extra hungry for lunch. But I had an egg, potato,
orange and onion sandwich for lunch. Maya had a fish, broccoli, tomato and banana wrap (卷饼).
“Do these things really taste good?” Mike, one of our friends, asked.
Maya took the list out of the pocket and explained, “Resolution number 2 says our lunch has to be healthy, not
necessarily delicious. If we’ re going to finish number 3 before the bell rings, we’ d better hurry. Luckily, we did
manage to do it. Unluckily, all that exercise right after the lunch made our stomachs hurt!”
We both attended the basketball club that afternoon, plus lots of homework, so we didn’ t have time to do
something big to help the planet.
“Well,” said Maya, “I guess if we’re going to have time for everything on our list, we’ re going to have to wake
up even earlier. I couldn’t let my resolution partner down, so we agreed to set our alarms half an hour earlier. Even
with the extra time, though, it was hard to fit everything in. Besides, we were too tired to do things well. When wehad to present our book reports, we yawned (打哈欠) the whole way through.”
By Friday, we were too tired. That afternoon. Maya and I made up a whole NEW New Year’ s resolution list.
New Year’s Resolutions
1. Try to eat healthy
2. Try not to waste water, electricity, paper or plastic.
3. Try to be kind. (most important of all)
Maya &Jill
Of course, we still like to bake treats (甜食) and do exercise, but not every day.
This year, when my friends make a resolution list, Maya and I will give them a suggestion: Make it short, 6
and 6 .
