Prtecting the Habitats f Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are nt nly scial animals living in cmmunities and wrk tgether, but they are smart in many different ways. Fr ver 40 years, peple have been studying chimps bth in the wild and in captivity. One thing they have learned is that chimpanzees and their natural habitats — r where they live in the wild — need t be prtected.
In 1960, a researcher named Jane Gdall began t live with and study wild chimpanzees in Africa. She learned that they are highly intelligent animals that cmmunicate with gestures and physical cntact. They make tls t find fd, they pssess innate decisin— making skills, and they make chices abut which grups t jin and what fds t eat. Chimps cperate t hunt and ften share the fd they have caught. In captivity, where they live in zs and science centres, they can be taught American Sign Language s that they can cmmunicate with their hands. There have even been experiments which shw that a few chimpanzees have learned t use cmputers and t play games! Sme scientists argue that chimpanzees can shw emtins such as happiness r sadness.
Althugh chimpanzees are impressive and intelligent animals, their safety is in danger every day. In the wild they can be fund in 21 different African cuntries, living in frests. Chimpanzees are able t adapt(适应) t changes in their envirnment. They can mve t a new place, make new nests, and find new fds. Yet peple are destrying their natural habitats. By cutting dwn trees fr firewd and using the space t build huses, humans leave chimpanzees with smaller areas t live in.
Chimpanzees are in danger, and all eyes shuld be n them. Frtunately many rganizatins and researchers have started t take steps t prtect them.Everyne shuld be aware f their wrk and it is imprtant t help these amazing animals.

◆Mre than 22, 000 pubs(酒馆) have a weekly quiz(智力测试) night. Sme peple say that the success f mdern-day pub quizzes is caused by a bard game frm the 1980s, called Trivial Pursuit. In the game players had t answer questins abut unimprtant details. But whatever the reasn, pub wners nw say they hld quiz nights because quizzers drink like fish, s it is gd business fr them.
◆In the quiz, the quizmaster reads questins ut lud and peple answer questins in teams. A lt f the time, peple chse funny names fr their teams. There are nrmally several runds, and a quiz can g n fr 2 t 3 hurs! Each rund can be abut a different tpic, r questins can be mixed. Tpics can be abut nature, culture, life, health, fd, science, sprts, music and mre.
◆Many pubs have ld names referring t mnarchs(君主), such as The King’s Head r The Queen Victria, but f curse this desn’t mean they are nly fr kings r queens. Pubs have always welcmed peple frm all classes and parts f sciety. In sme pubs yu can get drinks n the huse, meaning they are free. If yu’ve paid t be in the quiz, there is usually a surprising prize.
◆Mre than half f the peple in a recent survey n the Internet answered these questins incrrectly: Hw many cuntries make up Great Britain? What is the wrld’s largest desert?
Study! Make sure yu knw the names f the winners f sprting events, Oscars and TV shws. Als there is need t have a lk at the wrld map. Besides studying, it’s very imprtant t chse yur team wisely. Try t have a mix f men and wmen, and n mre than five peple. Dn’t chse smene wh is always cmpletely sure that they’re right, in fact smetimes they’re wrng! Once yu’ve gt yur team tgether, always trust yur first answer, and dn’t think abut it t much.
