27、跟人类的行为是多么相似。我们当天的首项活动就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开时黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着,这时候猩猩们睡醒了,准备离开。然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处漫步而去,我们尾随其后。在大部分时间里,黑猩猩或互相喂食,或彼此擦身,这在它们的家族里是表达爱的方式。简预先提醒我们,到下午的时候我们就会又累又脏,她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍,后来看见它们一起回窝里睡觉了。我们认识到黑猩猩家庭成员之间的关系像人类家庭一样紧密。在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的行为。她花了多年的时间来观察并记录
28、它们的日常活动。从孩提时代起,她就想在动物生活的环境中研究它们。但是,这不是一件容易的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时,对女性来说,住进大森林还是很不寻常的事情。她母亲前几个月过来帮她的忙,这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比方说,她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩捕猎并吃肉。而在此之前,人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩搏杀一只猴子,然后把它吃掉。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的,而她对黑猩猩身势语的研究帮助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。40年来,简古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活,而不能用于娱乐和广告。她
29、帮助建起了黑猩猩可以安全生活的专门的保护区。她的生活是忙忙碌碌的,然而,她说:“一旦我停下来,所有的一切都会涌上心头,我就会想起实验室里的黑猩猩,太可怕了。每当我看着野生黑猩猩时,这个念头总是萦绕着我。我对自己说:难道它们不幸运吗?然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。一旦你看到这些,你就永远不会忘记”她已经完成了她想要做的一切:在动物生活的环境中研究它们,获得博士学位,证明女人能像男人一样在森林里生活。她激励着那些想为女性的成就而欢呼喝彩的人们。That surely gave us a great sense of achievement.这无疑给了我们很大的成就感。It

71、nnectconnection.阅读理解AMaria(17181799) was a famous Italian mathematician.She was described in a book as follows:“Maria was a child prodigy(神童),but was also shy.”She stayed at home,teaching the younger children and following her own studies.When her mother died after giving birth to twentyone children
72、,Maria took over the running of the household.At the age of twenty she started a tenyear project,a book bringing together the work on calculus(微积分学) of Leibnitz and Newton titled Analytic Institutions.Sometimes she would have trouble with a problem,but her mind went on working even in her sleep;she
