    Washoe, a female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) believed to be the first non-human to acquire human language, has died of natural causes at the research institute where she was kept.The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Deborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.
    Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31
    Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” Goodall said.
    Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist (语言学家) Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language. 

    1. 1.

      As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.

      1. A.
        some space research
      2. B.
        a study on African animals
      3. C.
        an ASL project
      4. D.
        the program of training the Air Force
    2. 2.

      In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.

      1. A.
        was not successful
      2. B.
        led to the book Next of Kin
      3. C.
        won honor for Fouts
      4. D.
        made a difference
    3. 3.

      In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.

        supported
      2. B.
        studied
      3. C.
        questioned
      4. D.
        discussed
    4. 4.

      1. A.
        The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.
      2. B.
        Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.
      3. C.
        Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.
      4. D.
        The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.
    5. 5.

      Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

      1. A.
        Washoe was the first animal to be taught human language.
      2. B.
        Washoe, the chimp, was named in honor of a place.
      3. C.
        There were four chimps in total at Ellensburg Campus.

    NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.
    Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.
    In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.
    The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
    Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.
    They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
    "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
    But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
    "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist

    1. 1.

      The passage is mainly about              

      1. A.
        a new medical invention
      2. B.
        a new research on the pill
      3. C.
        a way of wiping out painful memories
      4. D.
        an argument about the research on the pill
    2. 2.

      The drug tested on people can           

      1. A.
        cause the brain to fix memories
      2. B.
        stop people remembering bad experiences
      3. C.
        prevent body producing certain chemicals
      4. D.
        wipe out the emotional effects of memories
    3. 3.

      We can infer from the passage that           

      1. A.
        people doubt the effects of the pills
      2. B.
        the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memories
      3. C.
        taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health
      4. D.
        the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America
    4. 4.

      Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ?

      1. A.
        some memories can ruin people's lives
      2. B.
        people want to get rid of bad memories
      3. C.
        experiencing bad events makes us different from others
      4. D.

    The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's successful 1936 novel Gone With the Wind. It's set in the American South and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlett O' Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.
    Love story 
    In a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta might seem irrelevant to today's viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.
    With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her heart is broken when Rhett just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved with cruel words, "Frankly, dear, I don' t give a damn."
    Great epic
    The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of Reconstruction in the South. The background made this film a true classic in the epic genre.
    When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, people stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins.
    Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind never lost its charm and ability to inspire and amaze.
    Biggest of all time
    The film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget. The film brought in $ 200 million, which makes it the biggest selling film of all times in North America. It also won 10 Academy awards in 1940.
