Froma young age, it was my dream to go to Africa and work with animals. Everybodylaughed at me, but my mother, Vanne, told me never to give up, and that I couldalways find a way.So,when I was 23, after saving up my earnings from working as a waitress, I wentto wild, untamed (野性的) Africa and began my work. In 1960 I went to the Gombe StreamChimpanzee Reserve. At that time, we knew nothing of the behavior or socialstructure of chimps (黑猩猩), and I was to go there andsee what I could find out. Usually, when you wake up, you leave your dreamsbehind you, but I found myself waking up to my dream.Asthe British government wouldn’t let me go without older women’s company, myamazing mother came with me and stayed for four months. We shared a second-handarmy tent, and we used the stream for fresh water and washing. We could swim inthe lake, although there were crocodiles.Itwas beautiful there, although both my mother and I nearly died of malaria (疟疾). I was scared Iwouldn’t be able to do what I had set out to, because, at first, the chimps ranaway from me in fear. I spent my days watching, listening, tracking and in theevenings writing up my notes.Formy mother, who stayed back at the camp, it must have been terrifying, and verylonely. There were snakes and spiders, as well as an old leopard who would comeby. But she had an amazing way with people, and would hand out medicines to thefishermen, who saw her as a witch doctor.Inmy fifth month there, I finally saw one of the chimps, which I called DavidGreybeard, stripping (剥光) straw to “fish” for termites (白蚁). Itproved that man wasn’t the only toolmaker, and that everything had to be redefined.1.What does the author mean by saying “I found myself waking up tomy dream” in the second paragraph?A.She lacked sleep due to busy work.B.She found her dream was hard to realize.C.She had more new dreams about her work.D.She tried to realize her dream every day.2.The author was afraid at the Reserve in the beginning because_____.A.there were crocodiles in the lake B. she could not get close to thechimps C.it was hard to get clean water D. the chimps attacked her sometimes3.The author’s mother was thought of by the local people as _____.A.helpful and warm-hearted B. funny and selfishC.romantic and talkative D. honest and hardworking4.
