Lately, people have entered the forests where chimpanzees (黑猩猩) live. The chimpanzees have been getting sick because of people's diseases. In addition, people are hunting chimpanzees. Their number is becoming smaller and smaller.

   Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of Africa. They eat many kinds of food, from plant leaves and seeds to insects and even other small animals. Chimpanzees’ favourite food is fruit.

    Chimpanzees are very clever and they can use tools well. They can catch bugs using sticks, and break nuts using rocks.

   The world’s forests are much smaller than they were before. Roads were built in deep forests, so people start to enter forests where chimpanzees live. That may lead to many problems. One problem for chimpanzees is that they can easily catch people’s diseases and die. Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.

    As it's easier for people to enter forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific researches. The young ones are taken away from the forests, and the adults are killed. Chimpanzees are likely to disappear in the future.

阅读训练营Reading comprehension

A

Whenever the crow mother heard cuckoo(布谷鸟) kids singing, she felt sad, because her own kids could not sing.

      "Maybe if my babies grow up with cuckoo kids, they may also learn to sing," the crow thought.

   It was the time for the crow to lay eggs. She laid an egg in the cuckoo's nest in a nearby tree. The egg hatched (孵化) along with cuckoo eggs. Cuckoo kids were also dark, so the cuckoo mother did not know that the baby was different and she fed him along with her kids.

  After a few days, the cuckoo mother started training her kids to sing. When she sang coo-coo, all her children also sang coo-coo. But the crow s child said caw-caw. All the cuckoo kids started laughing at the crow baby. Next day, when the cuckoo mother went out to look for food, the cuckoo babies all beat the crow baby and pushed him out of the nest.

   The crow mother, sitting on the nearby tree, saw her child falling out. She picked him up and brought him to her nest.

B

Some people have a very good memory and can easily learn quite long poems by heart. There are other people who can only remember things after they have repeated them again and again.

   A good memory is great help in learning a foreign language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children who live abroad with their parents seem to learn two languages as easily as one. In school it is not so easy to learn a second language because the pupils have little time for learning it, and they are very busy with other subjects as well.

    Man’s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished. It's the same that there is much work to do before we can keep a picture forever in our minds.

   Memory is the diary we all carry about with us. We keep things we have experienced in this diary.

非常解读Read & do

In this week, take the dog for a walk, play a baseball game, read a book or lie under a tree — do anything but watch TV. That's the message American TV-Turnoff Network tells you. You might be wondering: What's so terrible about TV? Some of America's leading doctors worry that watching TV has replaced children's physical activities. Children's bodies, minds and personalities (人格) are actively growing. They need to take healthy activities, such as exercising, communicating with friends and family, reading and learning the world around them. Sitting around all day in front of the TV makes them weak and does great harm to their eyes. It is also said that most of the food advertised (广告) during many shows is unhealthy. One study found 202 ads for junk food in four hours of Saturday morning cartoons. What about you'? Can you get along without television, stay away all those cartoons and play for a week?
