But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All though my childhood people said you cant go to Africa. Youre a girl,”Green says,“But my mother used to say, if you really want to, theres nothing you cant do.”In 1957, the 26-year-old Green journeyed to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle(丛林)and in1960 Leakey sent Green to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve(禁猎地)， recording the animals behavior and interactions.For three months Green made little progress. But she says,“I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male(雄性的) chimpanzee stick a blade of grass into a termite(白蚁)hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she approached the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites clinging to it. The discovery-that some animals use tools-was unknown to most scientists at the time. Green saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotion, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other. Green received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at Englands Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. “I love being in the forest with the chimps,” she says,“Id much rather be there than traveling around from city to city.”1) What was Greens childhood dream?_A.

This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard. All night, Cory, Tracys mother, stood next her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She that Tracy had once mentioned organ(器官)donation(捐赠). Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated.Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracys liver(肝脏) was made part of my husband, David, who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease. Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donors parents wished desperately meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable.The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned for the first time how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill and Cory, too.For the Marshes, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. I will never forget seeing Davids tall figure stooped over Cory, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time, they held each other tight. It was hard to know if she was saying hello or goodbye. Maybe she was saying both.6) We learn from the passage that Tracy died_A.

One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that is when I met him.Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didnt feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mixed with others because of my self-esteem(自尊心)problem. Finally I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling(感人的)smile. We spent the rest evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.About three months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were “men of the house” at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since.
