Dr. Jane Gdall, the renwned primatlgist and cnservatinist, passed away peacefully n Octber 1, 2025, at the age f 91. Her grundbreaking wrk with chimpanzees reshaped ur understanding f the animal kingdm and inspired generatins t prtect the natural wrld.
Beginning her research in Tanzania’s Gmbe Stream Natinal Park in 1960, the 26-year-ld Gdall brught a fresh perspective t animal behavir studies. With n frmal scientific training, she pineered a cmpassinate, nn-invasive apprach t bserving chimpanzees. She brke scientific cnventins by giving the chimpanzees names like “David Greybeard” instead f numbers, allwing her t dcument their individual persnalities and cmplex emtinal lives. Her patience and dedicatin led t revlutinary discveries, including her bservatin f chimpanzees using and making tls — a capability nce thught unique t humans.
Gdall’s mst famus discvery came when she witnessed David Greybeard mdifying a twig t “fish” fr termites. This finding, alng with her recrds f chimpanzees exhibiting behavirs such as hunting, warfare, and displaying emtins like grief and jy, fundamentally challenged the bundaries between humans and ther animals. Her methds, initially criticized by sme scientists, ultimately revlutinized the field f primatlgy and established a new paradigm fr animal behavir research.
Beynd her scientific cntributins, Gdall transfrmed int a glbal cnservatin leader. She established the Jane Gdall Institute in 1977 and funded the “Rts & Shts” yuth prgram in 1991, empwering yung peple in ver 100 cuntries t take actin fr peple, animals, and the envirnment. Hnred as a UN Messenger f Peace and receiving numerus awards, including the presidential Medal f Freedm, Gdall’s true legacy lies in the enduring hpe she instilled in millins wrldwide. She prved that ne persn’s dedicatin can indeed change the wrld.
4．What made Gdall’s wrk significant?
A．She wrked extensively with chimpanzees in labratry envirnments.
B．She greatly changed ur perceptin f animals and inspired envirnmental prtectin.
C．She was mainly recgnized fr establishing an internatinal wildlife research institute.
D．She prved that frmal academic training is useless fr imprtant scientific discveries.
5．Why did Gdall name the chimpanzees instead f numbering them?
A．It helped her t secure mre research funding fr her prject.
B．It was a requirement f the Gmbe Stream Natinal Park.
C．It reflected her unique methdlgy and persnal apprach t studying animal behavir.
D．It was a cmmn practice amng scientists at the time t ensure bjectivity.
6．Which f the fllwing best describes Gdall accrding t the passage?
A．Well-trained and educated.
B．Cnventinal and determined.
C．Patient and devted.
D．Cmpetitive and ambitius.
7．What is the main purpse f the passage?

America’s State Department places the languages it teaches ambassadrs (外交官) int fur categries, with estimates f hw lng they take t learn them ranging frm 24 t 88 weeks. What underlies the difficulty f such languages fr an English speaker?
The first thing many will think f is the different writing system. Indeed nne f the State Department’s hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet (字母表) used by mst Eurpean languages. Chinese stands ut fr its difficulty. Arabic is alphabet, with just a cuple f dzen letters. Its tw cmplicatins are that letters change shape depending n where they appear in a wrd (beginning, middle, end r alne) and that shrt vwels (元音) are nt written.
A secnd way languages can be hard is with sund distinctins that d nt exist in the learner’s language. In Hindi, the t-and d-sunds can be retrflex (卷舌音的) r nt, making tw different letters that can distinguish tw different wrds (mti with a retrflex means “fat, thick” and with a nn-retrflex t means “pearl”).
The wrds bviusly matter t. Mst Eurpean languages share an ancestr and s their wrds, t, ften cme in related pairs. If yu knw water in Spanish is agua, it is easy t figure ut Italian aqua and English aquatic. Languages unrelated t Eurpean nes will lack linguistic (语言的) similarity in vcabulary.
Grammar can further cmplicate freign language learning. Therefre, the verall hardness f a language can be seen as the sum f the difficulty f its writing system, sunds, wrds and grammar. These cme in different percentages: ne prfessr f Chinese has called it the mst difficult language he has ever learned t write and the easiest he has learned t speak.
If yu want t learn a language just fr fun, start with Swedish. If yu want t learn an impressive number, stay in Eurpe. But if yu really want t impress, bsting yur brain pwer t master Chinese is the sign f the true linguistic Irnman.
8．What makes writing Arabic difficult fr English speakers?
A．The variatins f its vwels.
B．The flexibility f its letters.
C．The width f its vcabulary.
D．The similarities it bears t Latin.
9．What can we learn abut retrflex sunds?
A．They are very cmmn in Arabic.
B．They differentiate meaning in Hindi.
C．They make Hindi vcabulary easy t learn.
D．They are unfund in many Eurpean languages.
10．Why is the prfessr mentined in paragraph 5?
A．T recgnize his achievements in studying grammar.
B．T ffer a standard t decide n language cmplexity.
C．T shw that language difficulty is multi-dimensinal.
D．T highlight the high-level difficulty f Chinese.
11．What is the best title fr the text?
A．Which languages take English users the lngest t learn?
B．Hw can Americans learn a freign language mre effectively?
C．Which freign languages are ppular with English speakers?
D．Why is learning a secnd language imprtant fr ambassadrs?
Sme teachers use a slight dip f the head. Sme like t fld their arms and lean back, pushing their chest ut. And fr thers, they may shrug impatiently, as if their bdy were a balln and smene just ppped it. In truth, thugh, there are hundreds — if nt thusands — f ways a teacher may psitin their bdy t manage behaviur. An imprtant questin may be: did yu have it right in the first place?
Research shws that a teacher’s psture can be imprtant in successful classrm behaviur management and that, when trying t cnvey a message, hw yu put yur pint acrss can carry much mre significance than the pint itself.

What’s mre, the study shwed that this psitining is an element that needs t be cnsidered carefully befre teaching, r when yu plan the lessn, t be able t teach effectively in terms f time and methd.
But what is a “cnfident” bdy psitin? And what else d yu need t knw abut the signals that yur bdy is giving ut arund behaviur management?
Fr a start, trying t lk tugh will almst certainly fail, says Esther Miltiadus, a bdy language expert wh wrks with the Sciety f Teachers f the Alexander Technique. The rganisatin is set up by teachers t train clleagues t act prperly. “Trying t lk authritative by having a military psture, with yur chest ut and shulders back, can be really tiring n the bdy, and it’s als quite aggressive (咄咄逼人的),” she explains.
12．Why des the authr list sme examples in the first paragraph?
A．T bring up the tpic f teachers’ bdy language.
B．T shw which reader grup the text is targeted at.
C．T discuss in which way teachers shuld manage the class.
D．T suggest what bdy language teachers shuld have in class.
13．What did the 2018 study find ut abut teachers’ bdy language?
A．A teacher’s bdy language is necessary fr teaching.
B．Reading a teacher’s bdy language is difficult fr students.
C．A teacher’s strng bdy language makes students lse interest.
D．Using t much bdy language is unhelpful in managing a class.
14．What is Esther Miltiadus’s attitude t lking tugh?
A．Disapprving.B．Uncaring.C．Thankful.D．Friendly.
15．What will mst prbably be discussed in the paragraph that fllws?
A．Other advice fr teachers n imprving students’ perfrmances.
B．Other ways fr teachers t manage their bdies in class.
C．Other influences f teachers’ behaviur n students.
D．Other studies n bdy language.

As fr me, the mst cmmn cause f my family cnflicts is my pr grades in exams. Here I have sme advice abut hw t reslve this kind f family cnflict.
