Jane Goodall was born in London on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday, her father gave her a【A1】______ chimpanzee named Jubilee. Jubilee was named【A2】______ a baby chimp in the London Zoo, and seemed to foretell the【A3】______ Jane’s life would take. To this day, Jubilee sits in a chair in Jane’s London home. From an【A4】______ age. Jane was fascinated by animals and animal stories. By the age of 10, she was【A5】______ about going to Africa to live among the【A6】______ there. At the time, in the early 1940s, this was a radical【A7】______ because women did not go to Africa by themselves.

As a young woman, Jane finished school in London,【A8】______ secretarial school, and then worked for a documentary filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to【A9】______ Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had 【A10】______ the fare to travel there by boat. She was 23 years old.

【A11】______ in Kenya， she met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist and anthropologist. He was impressed with【A12】______ thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, and hired her to assist him and his wife on a fossil-hunting【A13】______ to Olduvai Gorge. Dr. Leakey soon realized that Jane was the【A14】______ person to complete a study he had been planning for some time. She expressed her【A15】______ in the idea of studying animals by living in the【A16】______ with them, rather than studying dead animals through paleontology.

One of the first significant observations that Jane【A17】______ during the study was that chimpanzees make and use tools, 【A18】______ like humans do, to help them get food. It was previously thought that humans 【A19】______ used tools. Also thanks to Jane’s research, we now know that chimps eat meat as well as plants and fruits. In many ways, she has helped us to see how chimpanzees and humans are【A20】______. In doing so, she has made us more sympathetic toward these creatures, while helping us to better understand ourselves.
