Jane Good all first made friends with a chimp (黑猩猩) when she was one year old. On her first
birthday her mother carried her to the zoo near her home and bought her a toy chimp. She loved her
furry (毛絨) friend very much. At age 7, Jane Good all read Dr. Doolittle, a book about a doctor who
could talk to animals. She wanted to be able to talk to her favorite animal, too. She expected to go to
Africa some day so that she could learn more about chimps. When Jane grew up, she still dreamed of
going to Africa. She got her wish when she was 26 years old. She went to Gombe National Park
where many chimps lived in the forests.
     Jane watched the chimps closely day after day. She saw that they were a lot like people. They could
think and make plans. They used tools. They showed their fear, pain, or pleasure. Sometimes, they
fought. Often, they hugged (擁抱) and kissed.
     Scientists were surprised by what Jane saw. They knew that the relation between chimps and
humans was the closest. However, they did not know they acted so much like us.
     Jane still has the toy chimp she was given as a child. She has studied her furry friends for over 30
years. Now, she speaks for them to groups around the world. She hopes that what she has to say will
make others do something to protect chimps from being hurt.

      Zhou Yan, a Junior 3 students in Taiyuan, wishes he never got a mobile phone. Last week, he went to see a doctor because his arms and fingers were hurting, and he could not see very well. The doctor told
him that he had had "mobile phone disease". A growing number of teenagers are getting "mobile phone
disease" as more are buying mobile phones.
      Zhou got his mobile phone only five months ago.  His mum bought it for him to use when he got into
trouble. But Zhou used it to send messages to his friends.  He sent messages to them all the time, even after going to bed.    
      Zhou started to do badly in the exams because he was spending so much time playing with his mobile
phone. His mum got very angry with him. Zhou Yan didn't care about his mum's feeling at all. But one day, Zhou's arms started to hurt. And that is why he went to see the doctor.Yang Ling, who is from Taiyuan
