“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.

   There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. They couldn’t depend on them for education. They saw it was, and began to work with their efforts. To know something, they worked their own way up to fame (榮譽).

   One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupil, “I can’t make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”

   Some young men are the best in anything, and they are so be pitied (值得同情的). They can never do things successfully if they don’t see their weak points and change their courses (做法). They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live if they don’t follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture”? Recently social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture, too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行為) that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.

Human beings use tools, cooperate(合作) with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects(方面)of human behavior, or “culture”, can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools , for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.

1.According to the article, “culture” means_____.

A. the languages we learn

B. the good habits we share with each other

C. the forms of behavior we have in common

2.The traditional idea about dividing animal from human beings is that ______.

A. human beings can use tools

B. Human beings can depend on each other

C. human beings have the language to communicate

3.From the chimpanzees can use and make tools, we know____.

A. animal may have a culture like our own

B. animals can be as clever as human beings

C. animals have the ability to help human beings
