[00:48.43]A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE
[00:52.51]It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa.
[01:01.15]Our group are all going to visit the chimps² in the forest.
[01:06.12]Jane has studied these animals for many years
[01:10.79]and helped people understand how much they behave like humans.
[01:16.43]Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day.
[01:22.39]This means³ going back to a place
[01:26.36]where we left the chimp¹ family sleeping in a tree the night before.
[01:31.82]Everybody sits and waits while the animals in the group begin to wake up and move.
[01:38.27]Then we follow as the family begins to wander off into the forest.
[01:44.23]Most of the time,
[01:47.18]chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family.
[01:53.24]Jane warns⁴ us that everybody will be very tired and dirty
[01:59.12]by the afternoon and she is right.
[02:03.48]But the evening makes it all worthwhile.
[02:07.32]The mother chimp and her babies play in the tree and,
[02:13.20]after they come into her arms,
[02:16.86]we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night.
[02:22.32]Nobody before has fully⁵ understood chimp behaviour.
[02:27.57]Jane spent many years observing and recording⁶ their daily activities.
[02:33.73]She did not study at a university
[02:37.78]but she was determined⁷ to work with animals in their own environment.
[02:43.24]When she arrived at Gombe in 1960,
[02:47.97]it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest.
[02:52.83]Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months
[02:58.10]was she allowed to begin her project.
[03:02.47]Her work changed the way people think about chimps.
[03:07.04]For example,one thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat.
[03:13.88]Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts.
[03:20.05]She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it.
[03:26.81]She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other
[03:32.27]and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.
[03:38.15]For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping⁸ the rest of the world
[03:43.71]understand and respect the life of these animals.
[03:48.57]She has argued for them to be left in the wild
[03:53.25]and not used for entertainment or advertisements.
[03:58.29]She has set up special places where they can live safely.
[04:03.75]Her life is very busy but as she says:
[04:08.71]"Once I stop,it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories⁹.
[04:16.55]It's terrible.It affects me when I watch the wild chimps.
[04:23.00]I say to myself,"Aren's they lucky"
[04:27.57]And then think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong.
[04:34.34]Once you have seen that you can never forget..."
[04:38.88]She has achieved everything she wanted to do:
[04:43.25]working with animals in their own environment,
[04:48.08]gaining a doctor's degree for her studies,
[04:52.21]showing that women can live in the forest as men can.
[04:57.17]She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.

[05:15.22]A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME
[05:19.45]As I sat down at the computer to do some research on Lin Qiaozhi,
[05:26.40]I did not realize that my homework was to change my life.
[05:32.04]I enjoyed English,biology and chemistry.
[05:37.01]But which one should I choose to study at university?
[05:42.44]Suddenly some information was shown on the screen.
[05:48.19]It seemed that Lin Qiaozhi had been very busy in her chosen career
[05:54.53]travelling abroad to study and writing books and articles.
[06:00.10]One of them caught my eye.
[06:03.76]It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate
[06:09.50]from having and caring for babies
[06:13.66]by following some simple rules for keeping babies clean and healthy.
[06:20.00]Why did she write that?
[06:23.53]Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice?

[06:29.20]I looked carefully at the text
[06:33.14]and realised that it was intended for women who lived in the countryside.
[06:39.31]Perhaps they could not reach a doctor.
[06:43.44]When did she live?
[06:46.80]I searched again and found that Lin Qiaozhi lived in the early 20th century.
[06:54.17]She had become a specialist¹¹ in women's diseases¹².
[06:59.13]It struck me like lightning how difficult it much have been
[07:04.70]for a woman to get a medical training so long ago
[07:09.98]when women's education was always placed second to men's.
[07:15.54]Was she so much cleverer than anyone else?
[07:20.29]Further reading made me realise¹⁰ that it was hard work
[07:25.57]and determination as well as her good nature that had got her into medical school.
[07:32.83]But it was not her success at university that had made her famous.
[07:39.18]It was her kindness and the consideration¹³ she showed to all her patients.
[07:45.74]There was story after story of how LinQiaozhi,tired after a day's work,
[07:53.10]went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
[08:00.37]By now I could not wait to find out more about her.
[08:05.43]I found that LinQiaozhi had devoted¹⁴ her whole life to her patients
[08:11.78]and had chosen not to have a family of her own.
[08:16.54]Instead,she made sure
[08:20.48]that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered to their mothers.
[08:26.83]By this time I was so excited.
[08:31.58]Why not study at medical college like LinQiaozhi and carry on her good work?
[08:39.03]It was still not too late to fill in the forms for the university entrance exam..
[08:45.87]Listening
