Abstract of the Text,This passage tells us briefly about Jane Goodhall,the champion of chimps,and her life with Chimps,working,observing,doing the research since 1960,making some discoveries and protecting them and wild animals ever since.,3/22,Jane Goodhall,A pioneer in the study of chimpanzees who began her landmark studies in Africa in 1960,from the United Kingdom,was designated as United Nations Messenger of Peace in.The Jane Goodhall Institute is widely recognized for creating innovative conservation and,development programmes in Africa.Her global Roots&Shoots programme supports tens of thousands of young people in nearly 100 countries with projects that help people,animals and the environment.,She continues to help the United Nations focus attention on environmental issues through,for example,her work with the UNEP/UNESCO Great Apes Survival Project,which helps coordinate global efforts on behalf of the critically endangered great ape species.,4/22,Jane Goodhall,s Love for Animals,Jane Goodhall loved animals even as a child.When she was just over one year old,her parents gave her a toy chimpanzee,which she named Jubilee.She carried Jubilee with her everywhere.Today,more than 65 years later,Jubilee,now completely bald from so many hugs,sits on Jane,s dresser in England!,Jane also spent a lot of time with a wonderful dog,Rusty,who taught her that animals have minds,personalities and emotions.You can read more about Rusty and all of Jane,s life in her book,My Life with the Chimpanzees.,5/22,6/22,Information on Chimpazees:Lifespan,Chimpanzees rarely live past the age of 40 in the wild,but have been known to reach the age of more than 60 in captivity(,圈养,).Cheeta,star of,Tarzan,is still alive as of at the age of 76,making him the oldest known chimpanzee in the world.,7/22,Gestures,Chimpanzees also use many gestures to indicate needs and emotions.Chimps will beg other chimps for food by approaching them with open hands.Friends may hold hands,hug,or even kiss.A worried chimp makes a lip-puckering,(撅嘴),face.A frightened chimp will bare its teeth.A smile indicates a relaxed,friendly chimp.When the lips are tightly pressed together,the chimp is ready to attack.,8/22,Reproduction,Chimpanzees are fully grown and able to reproduce at 12-13 years old.Female chimpanzees are pregnant for about 8.5-9 months and usually have a single baby at a time;twins are rare.Female chimpanzees carefully nurture their young.Babies can grasp their mother,s fur to ride on the mother,s back at about 6 months.After they are weaned(,断奶,),chimpanzees begin to build their own sleeping nests out of vegetation and not use their mothers nest anymore.Young chimpanzees stay with their mother for about 7 years.,9/22,10/22,Intelligence,Chimpanzees make tools and use them to acquire foods and for social displays;they have sophisticated hunting strategies requiring cooperation,influence and rank;they are status conscious,manipulative and capable of deception;they can learn to use symbols and understand aspects of human language including some relational syntax,concepts of number and numerical sequence.Young chimpanzees have outperformed human college students in tasks requiring remembering numbers.,11/22,Tool use,Modern chimpanzees use tools,and recent research indicates that chimpanzee stone tool use dates to at least 4300 years ago.Prior to the discovery of tool use in chimps,it was believed that humans were the only species to make and use tools,but several other tool-using species are now known.,12/22,Are humans descended from apes?,Humans are not descended from chimpanzees,gorillas,or any other ape.But,if we believe in evolution,then we can imagine an ape-like,human-like creature that lived millions of years ago-a common ancestor to modern humans(Homo sapiens)and modern chimpanzees,gorillas,and so on.Louis Leakey sent Jane Goodall to Gombe because he believed the behavior that is shared by humans and chimpanzees today might have been present in the common ancestor and,probably,the Stone Age hominids,(原始人类),whose fossils he discovered.,13/22,Similarities Between Chimpanzees and Human Beings,Chimpanzees and humans differ by just over one percent of DNA,and there are striking similarities in the composition of the blood and the immune responses,(免疫反应),.In fact,biologically,chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than they are to gorillas,(大猩猩),.Genetic studies show that chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor.Some have proposed including chimpanzees in the same genus(,种,类,)as human beings to recognize these similarities,calling them Homo troglodytes,(类人猿),.,14/22,Genetic studies show that chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor.,15/22,16/22,The Outline of the Text,Para.1,2:a bird fable&its meaning,Para.3,5:What stimulated Jane Goodhall,s passion for chimps?,Para.6:the support from her mother,Para.7,8:an exciting discovery made by Jane Goodhall on chimps&its meaning,Para.9:other similarities between chimps&human beings.,Para.10:busy with raising funds,Para.11:the danger of extinction faced by chimps&its reasons,Para.12,13:the contribution made by Jane Goodhall to protect chimps,Para.14:Jane Goodhall,s passion for the remote forest and chimps,17/22,And then comes Jane Godhall,s real thrust,(para.1),thrust:the main point of an argument,a policy,etc.,Paraphrase:then Jane Godhall begins to get down to business and begin to talk the main point of her speech.,given her notice.(para.2),If an employer,gives,an employee,notice,the employer tells the employee that he or she must leave his or her job within a fixed period of time.,If you,hand in,your,notice,or,give in,your,notice,you tell your employer that you intend to leave your job soon within a set period of time.,18/22,a fanatic,(para.7),If you describe someone as a fanatic,you mean that they,re very
