Jane Goodall is a famous scientist. For more than 40 years, Goodall
lived mostly in Tanzania in East Africa, studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩).
As a young child, Jane Goodall was interested in animals. She grew up in
the English countryside and was always climbing trees or riding horses.
When Jane was 23, she got a chance to go to Africa. Even though she had
never been to college, she got a job to work with a famous scientist named
Louis Leakey.
One day Louis Leakey said he needed a volunteer. He needed someone to go
to a lake in Tanzania to study a kind of chimpanzees. Jane was excited.
On July 14,1960, she began her exploration (探索). At first, the
chimpanzees ran away from Jane. But with time passing by, they got used to her
being around.
Every day, Jane would follow the chimpanzees, taking notes on their
behaviour. She learned many new things about chimpanzees. She watched how a
chimpanzee made a tool. She learned how some chimpanzees became good leaders.
She watched how mother chimpanzees raised their children. She watched animals
got angry and got upset. She wrote everything down so others would understand
animals as she did. She learned that if you pay really close attention to
animals, you will understand what they are "saying".
