Unit 1 Festivals around the world

FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS

Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held

everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and

harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve

if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold

winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or

events. Festivals of the dead

Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For

the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves

and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also

light lamps and play music because they think that will lead

the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the

Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast

day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the

dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in

old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people.

It is now a children’s festival, when t hey can dress up and go to their neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours do not give any sweets, the children might play a

trick on them.

Festivals to Honour People

Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The

Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a

national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s inde pendence from Britain.

Harvest Festivals

Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the

winter and the agricultural work is over. In European

countries, people will usually decorate churches and town

halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have

meals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals when people admire the moon and in China enjoy moon-cakes.

Spring Festivals

The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that

look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring.

At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish

and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper.

There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and

colourful clothing of al kinds. Easter is an important

religious and social festival for Christians around the world.

It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the

coming of spring and new life. Japan’s Cherry Blossom

Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with

cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink

snow.

People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with

each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our

customs and forget our work for a little while.A SAD LOVE

STORY

LI Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine’s Day and Hu Jin

had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work.

But she didn’t turn up. She could be with her friends right

now laughing at him. She said she would be there at seven

o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word. He had

looked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alone

with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not

going to hold his breath for her to apologize. He would drown

his sadness in coffee.

It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was

waiting for Li Fang to leave - he wiped the tables, then sat

down and turned on the TV - just what Li Fang needed! A sad

Chinese story about lost love.

The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth.

Her name was Zhinü, the weaving girl. While she was on earth

she met the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love. (“Just

like me and Hu Jin,” though t Li Fang.) They got married

secretly, and they were very happy. (“We could be like that,”　thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human, she became very angry

and made the weaving girl return to Heaven. Niu Lang tried to

follow her, but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stopped

him. Finding that Zhinü was heart-broken, her grandmother

finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet

once a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the

couple can cross the river to meet on the seventh day of the

seventh lunar month. People in China hope that the weather

will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it means

that Zhinü is weeping and the couple won’t be able to meet. The announcer said, “This is the story of Qiqiao Festival.

When foreigners hear about the story, they call it a Chinese

Valentine’s story. It’s a fine day today, so I hope you can

call all meet the one you love.”

As Li Fang set off for home, he thought, “I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me. I’ll just throw these flowers and

chocolates away. I don’t want them to remind me of her.” So he did.

As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home,

he heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving at him

and calling, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for

you for a long time! And I have a gift for you!”

What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts! She

would never forgive him. This would not be a happy

Valentine’s Day! Unit 2 Healthy eating

COME AND EAT HERE (I)

Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated.

It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early

and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork,

stir-fried vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they

would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the

hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his

ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit.

“Nothing could be better,” he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. “Hello, Lao Li,” he called. “Your usual?” But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.

Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He

saw a sign at the door. Tired of all that fat? Want to lose

weight?

Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.

Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin again!

Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. “Welcome,” she said. “My name is Yong Hui. I’ll help you lose weight and

be fit in two weeks if you eat here ev ery day.” Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it： just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar,

fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially

at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his

restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the

menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about

his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to

the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting

away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!

At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his

restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating

Yong Hui’s food, they were not eati ng enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly.

Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps

with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers

back. So he wrote：

Want to feel fit and energetic?

Come and eat here! Discounts today!

Our food gives you energy all day!

The competition between the two restaurants was on!

COME AND EAT HERE (II)

A week later, Wang Peng’s restaurant was nearly full and he

felt happier. Perhaps he would be able to earn his living

after all and not have to close his restaurant. He did not

look forward to being in debt because his restaurant was no

longer popular. He smiled as he welcomed some customers

warmly at the door but the smile left his face when he saw

Yong Hui walking in. She did not look happy but glared at him.

“May I ask what you were doing in my restaurant the other

day? I thought you were a new customer and now I know that

you only came to spy on me and my menu,” she shouted. “Please excuse me,” he calmly explained, “I wanted to know where all my customers had gone last week. I followed one of

them and found them in your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your menu so limited that I stopped

worrying and started advertising the benefits of my food. Why

don’t you sit down and try a meal?”

Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying

dumplings and breast of chicken cooked with garlic. When they

were served the ice cream, Yong Hui began to look ill. “I feel sick with all this fat and heavy f ood,” she said, “I miss my vegetables and fruit.” Wang Peng was enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed. “Yes,” he added, “and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork. Don’t you

get tired quickly?”“Well, I do have to rest a lot,”　admitted Yong Hui. “But don’t you think it would be better

if you were a bit thinner? I’m sure you’d feel much healthier.”

They began to talk about menus and balanced diets.

“According to my research, neither your restaurant nor mine

offers a balanced diet,” explained Wang Peng. “I don’t

offer enough fibre and you don’t offer enough body-building and energy-giving food. Perhaps we ought to combine our ideas

and provide a balanced menu with food full of energy and

fibre.” So that is what they did. They served raw vegetabl es with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than fried

them. They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this way

they cut down the fat and increased thefibre in the meal.

Their balanced diets became such a success that before long

Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight.

After some time the two found that their business cooperation

had turned into a personal one. Finally they got married and

live happily ever after.

Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note

THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE

Act I, Scene 3

： It is the summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy NARRATOR

brothers, Roderick and Oliver, have made a bet. Oliver

believes that with a million pound bank note a man could

survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. At

this moment, they see a penniless young man wandering on the pavement outside their house. It is Henry Adams, an American businessman, who is lost in London and does not know what he should do.

RODERICK： Young man, would you step inside a moment, please? HENRY： Who? Me, sir?

RODERICK： Yes, you.

OLIVER： Through the front door on your left.

HENRY： (a servant opens a door) Thanks.

SERVANT： Good morning, sir. Would you please come in? Permit me to lead the way, sir. OLIVER： (Henry enters) Thank you, James. That will be all.

RODERICK：How do you do, Mr … er …？

HENRY： Adams. Henry Adams.

OLIVER： Come and sit down, Mr Adams.

HENRY： Thank you.

RODERICK： Your are an American?

HENRY：That’s right, from San Francisco.

RODERICK： How well do you know London?

HENRY： Not at all. It’s my first trip here.

RODERICK： I wonder, Mr Adams, if you mind us asking a few questions?

HENRY： Not at all. Go right ahead.

RODERICK：May we ask what you’re doing in this country and

what your plans are?

HENRY：Well, I can’t say that I have any plans.I’m hoping to find work. As a matter of fact,

I landed in Britain by accident.

RODERICK： How is that possible?

HENRY： Well, you see, back home I have my own boat. About a

month ago, I was sailing

out of the bay … (his eyes stare at what is left of the

brothers’ dinner on the table)

OLIVER： Well, go on.

HENRY： Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself

carried out to sea by a strong wind.

It was all my fault. I didn’t know whether I could survive

until morning. The next

morning I’d just about given myself up for lost when I was spotted by a ship.

OLIVER： And it was the ship that brought you to England.

HENRY： Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working

as an unpaid hand, whichaccounts for my appearance. I went to

the American embassy to seek help, but …

(the brothers smile at each other)

RODERICK：Well, you mustn’t worry about that. It’s an advantage.

HENRY：I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you, sir.

RODERICK： Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America?

HENRY： I worked for a mining company. Could you offer me

some kind of work here? RODERICK： Patience, Mr Adams. If you don’t mind, may I ask how much money you have? HENRY： Well, to be honest, I have none.

RODERICK： (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (claps

his hands together)

HENRY： Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this is

your idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. (Henry stands up to

leave) Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll be on my way.

RODERICK：Please don’t go Mr Adams. You mustn’t think we don’t care about you. Oliver, give

him the letter.

OLIVER： Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it

to Henry like a gift) The letter. HENRY： (taking it

carefully) For me?

RODERICK： For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you

mustn’t open it. Not yet. You can’ｔ

open it until two o’clock.

HENRY： Oh, this is silly.

RODERICK：Not silly. There’s money in it. (calls to the servant) James?

HENRY：Oh, no. I don’t want your charity. I just want an

honest job.

RODERICK：We know you’re hard-working. That’s why we have given you the letter. James,

show Mr Adams out.

OLIVER： Good luck, Mr Adams.

HENRY：Well, why don’t you explain what this is all about?

RODERICK：You’ll soon know. (looks at the clock) In exactly

an hour and a half.

SERVANT： This way, sir.

RODERICK：Mr Adams, not until 2 o’clock. Promise?

HENRY： Promise. goodbye.

Unit 4 Astronomy： the science of the stars

HOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTH

No one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened so

long ago. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter in all directions. After that, atoms began to form and combine to

create stars and other bodies.

For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the eart h was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become was

uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when

the dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became so

violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or

not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in time

to produce carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapour and other

gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water

began to appear on its surface.

Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but,

unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was not

immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. What many scientists believe is that the

continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve

harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This

produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to

develop.

Many millions of years later, the first extremely small

plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They

multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all

sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They

were followed in time by land animals. Some were insects.

Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well

as in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests,

reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young generally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals,

called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existed

on the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.

Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not looking

after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on.

So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of

years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.

A VISIT TO THE MOON

Last month I was lucky enough to have a chance to make a trip into space with my friend Li Yanping, an astronomer. We visited the moon in our spaceship!

Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that the

first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As

the rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into our

seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the

earth’s gravity. It was so hard that we could not say

anything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and I

was able to talk to him. “Why is the spaceship not falling

back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will

fall to the ground.” I asked. “We are too far from the

earth now to feel its pull,” he explained, “so we feel as

if no gravity at all. When we get closer to the moon, we

shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as

strong a pull as the earth’s.” I cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin watching

the earth become smaller and the moon larger.

When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately. “Come on,” I said. “If you are right, my weight will be less than

on the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be able

to move more freely. I might even grow taller if I stay here

long enough. I shall certainly weigh less!” I laughed and climbed down the steps from the spaceship. But when I tried

to step forward. I found I was carried twice as far as on the

earth and fell over. “Oh dear,” I cried, “walking does

need a bit of practice now that gravity has changed.” After

a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves.

Leaving the moon’s gravity was not as painful as leaving the

earth’s. But returning to the earth was very frightening. W e watched, amazed as fire broke out on the outside of the

spaceship as the earth’s gravity increased. Again we were

pushed hard into our seats as we came back to land. “That was very exhausting but very exciting too,” I said. “Now I

know much more about gravity! Do you think we could visit

some stars next time?”“Of course,” he smiled, “which star would you like to go to?”

Unit 1 Festivals around the world FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.

Festivals to Honour People Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Y uan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain. Harvest Festivals Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European countries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals when people admire the moon and in China enjoy moon-cakes. Spring Festivals The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of al kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan’s Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow. People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our work for a little while.

Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. Unit 2 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. 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 they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies 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. Since 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 the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system. For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing 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 doctor's 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 CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK? I enjoyed 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 Qiaozhi, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them

必修 4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. 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 they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies 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. Since 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 the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system. For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ..." She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own
