  Washoe is a young chimpanzee（黑猩猩）． She is no _41_ chimpanzee, though． Scientists are doing a research _42_ her． They want to see how civilized （驯化） she can _43_ ． Already she does many things a human being can do．
     For example, she has been learning how to exchange _44_ with people． The scientists are teaching her _45_ language． When she wants to be picked _46_, Washoe points up with one finger． She rubs her teeth with her finger _47_ she wants to brush her teeth． This is done after every meal．
     Washoe has also been _48_ to think out and find answers to problems． Once she was put in a _49_ with food hanging from the ceiling． It was too high to _50_． After she considered the _51__, she got a tall box to stand _52_． The food was still too high to be reached． Washoe found a _53_ pole． Then she climbed onto the _54__, grasped the pole, and __55_ down the food with the pole．
     Washoe _56_ like a human, too． The scientists keep her in a fully furnished house． After a hard _57_ in the laboratory, she goes home． _58_ she plays with her toys． She _59_ enjoys watching television before going to bed．
Scientists hope to _60_ more about people by studying our closest relative （亲属）-chimpanzee．

     The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out． —Thomas Macaulay
　　Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York． One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 26 to our class． When the papers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test．
　　There is nothing really new about 29 in exams． Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill 30 even say a word about it． She only asked the twelve boys to 31 after class． I was one of the twelve．
　　Mrs O'Neill asked 32 questions, and she didn't 33 us either． Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 34 words by Thomas Macaulay． She then ordered us to 35 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times．
　　I don't 36 about the other eleven boys． Speaking for 37 I can say:it was the most important single 38 of my life． Thirty years after being 39 to Macaulay's words, they 40 seem to me the best yardstick（准绳）, because they give us a 41 to measure ourselves rather than others．
　　42 of us are asked to make 43 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle． But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions． 45 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 46 turned over to the policeman? Should the 47 change received at the store be forgotten or 48? Nobody will know except 49． But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 50 to live with someone you respect．

     People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells． Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the _26_ and have made up their minds to _27_ the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest （抗议） against heavy trucks which run _28_ through the narrow High Street．
    “They not only make it _29_ to sleep at night, but they are _30_ damage to our houses and shops of historical _31_,” said John Norris, one of the protesters．
    “ _32_ we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes 33_ the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a _34_ village． Its streets were never _35_ for heavy traffic．”
    Harry Fields also studying _36_ said they wanted to make as much _37_ as possible to force the _38_ to realize what everybody was having to 39_． “ Most of them don’t _40_ here anyway,” he said, “ they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is sound proof （隔音），_41_ they probably don’t _42_ the noise all that much． It’s high time they realized the _43_ ．”
     The fourth student, Liza Bermum, said she thought the public were _44_ on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be．
     _45_ asked if they were _46_ that the police might come to _47_ them．
    “Not really,” she said, “actually we are _48_ bell-ringers． I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church． There is no _49_ against practising．”
