Questions in 35 minutes)

Directions for Questions
1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage.

Much of the information
we have today about chimpanzees comes from the groundbreaking, long-term
research of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall was born in
London, England, on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday, her father gave her
a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Jubilee was named after a baby chimp in the
London Zoo, and seemed to foretell the course Jane’s life would take. To this
day, Jubilee sits in a chair in Jane’s London home. From an early age, Jane was
fascinated by animals and animal stories. By the age of 10, she was talking
about going to Africa to live among the animals there. At the time, in the
early 1940s, this was a radical idea because women did not go to Africa by
themselves.

As a young woman, Jane
finished school in London, attended secretarial school, and then worked for a
documentary filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to visit
Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned the fare to travel there
by boat. She was 23 years old.

Once in Kenya, she met
Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist and anthropologist. He was impressed
with her thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, and hired her to assist
him and his wife on a fossil-hunting expedition to Olduvai Gorge. Dr. Leakey
soon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been
planning for some time. She expressed her interest in the idea of studying
animals by living in the wild with them, rather than studying dead animals
through paleontology.

Dr. Leakey and Jane began
planning a study of a group of chimpanzees who were living on the shores of
Lake Tanganyika in Kenya. At first, the British authorities would not approve
their plan. At the time, they thought it was too dangerous for a woman to live
in the wilds of Africa alone. But Jane’s mother, Vanne, agreed to join her so that
she would not be alone. Finally, the authorities gave Jane the clearance she
needed in order to go to Africa and begin her study

In July of 1960, Jane and
her mother arrived at Gombe National Park in what was then called Tanganyika
and is now called Tanzania. Jane faced many challenges as she began her work.
The chimpanzees did not accept her right away, and it took months for them to
get used to her presence in their territory. But she was very patient and
remained focused on her goal. Little by little, she was able to enter their
world.

At first, she was able to
watch the chimpanzees only from a great distance, using binoculars. As time
passed, she was able to move her observation point closer to them while still
using camouflage. Eventually, she was able to sit among them, touching,
patting, and even feeding them. It was an amazing accomplishment for Jane, and
a breakthrough in the study of animals in the wild. Jane named all of the
chimpanzees that she studied, stating in her journals that she felt they each
had a unique personality.

One of the first
significant observations that Jane made during the study was that chimpanzees
make and use tools, much like humans do, to help them get food. It was
previously thought that humans alone used tools. Also thanks to Jane’s
research, we now know that chimps eat meat as well as plants and fruits. In
many ways, she has helped us to see how chimpanzees and humans are similar. In
doing so, she has made us more sympathetic toward these creatures, while
helping us to better understand ourselves.

The study started by Jane
Goodall in 1960 is now the longest field study of any animal species in their
natural habitat. Research continues to this day in Gombe and is conducted by a
team of trained Tanzanians.

Jane’s life has included
much more than just her study of the chimps in Tanzania. She pursued a graduate
degree while still conducting her study, receiving her Ph.D. from Cambridge
University in 1965. In 1984, she received the J. Paul Getty Wildlife
Conservation Prize for "helping millions of people understand the
importance of wildlife conservation to life on this planet." She has been
married twice: first to a photographer and then to the director of National
Parks. She has one son.

Dr. Jane Goodall is now
the world’s most renowned authority on chimpanzees, having studied their
behavior for nearly 40 years. She has published many scientific articles, has
written two books, and has won numerous awards for her groundbreaking work. The
Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education, and Conservation was
founded in 1977 in California but moved to the Washington, D.C., area in 1998.
Its goal is to take the actions necessary to improve the environment for all
living things.

Dr. Goodall now travels
extensively, giving lectures, visiting zoos and chimp sanctuaries, and talking
to young people involved in environmental education. She is truly a great
conservationist and an amazing human being.

Directions for Questions
6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage.

There are some men who
seem to be always on the lookout for trouble and, to tell the truth, they are
seldom disappointed. Listening to such men one would think that this world is
one of the stormiest and most disagreeable places. Yet, after all it is not
such a bad place and the difficulty is often in the man who is too thin-
skinned. On the other hand, the man who goes out expecting people to be like
himself, kind and brotherly, will be surprised at the kindness he meets even in
the most unlike quarters. A smile is apt to be met met with a respective smile
while the sneer is just as apt to provoke a snarl. Men living in the same

which is quarrelsome, but the man within us. And we have it in out power to
change our neighborhood into a pleasant one by simply changing our own ways.
