清晨5点45分,太阳刚从东非的贡贝国家公园的上空升起,我们一行人准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去森林里拜访它们。简研究这些黑猩猩家族已经很多年了,她帮助人们了解黑猩猩跟人类的行为是多么的相似。我们当天的首项任务就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着,这时候猩猩们睡醒了,准备离开。然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处漫步而去,我们尾随其后。在大部分时间里,黑猩猩或相互喂食,或彼此擦身,这在它们的家庭里是表示爱的方式。简预先提醒我们,到下午的时候我们就会又脏又累。她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍,后来看见它们晚上一起回窝里睡觉了。我明白了猩猩家庭成员之间的联系像人类家庭一样紧密。 ?????

在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的行为。她花了多年的时间来观察并记录黑猩猩的日常生活。从孩提时代起,简就想在动物生活的环境中研究它们。但是,这不是一件简单的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时,对女性来说,住进大森林还是很稀罕的事情。她母亲头几个月来帮过她的忙,这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比方说,她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩猎食动物。而在此之前,人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩捕杀一只猴子,然后把它吃掉。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的,而她对黑猩猩肢体语言的研究帮助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。

40年来,简古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活,而不能用于娱乐或广告。她还为黑猩猩建起了可以安全生活的保护区。她的生活是忙忙碌碌的,然而,正如她所说的:
“我一旦停下来,所有的一切都会涌上心头。我就会想起实验室的黑猩猩,太可怕了。每当我看着野生黑猩猩时,这个念头总是萦绕着我。我会对自己说:‘难道它们不幸运吗?’然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。一旦你看到这些,你就永远不会忘记……” ????? 简已经得到了她想要得到的一切:在动物的栖息地工作;获得博士学位;还向世人证明女人和男人一样也能在森林里生活。她激励着人们为妇女们的成就而欢呼喝彩。

为什么不继续她的事业?
上学时我喜欢英语、生物和化学,但是我进大学该选哪门专业呢?直到有一天晚上坐在电脑旁研究中国的伟大女性时,我才有了答案。 很偶然地,我看到了一篇关于林巧稚大夫的文章。她是妇科专家,1901年出生,1983年去世。林巧稚似乎一直都在为自己选择的事业而奔忙,她去国外留学,并写了很多书和文章。其中有一本书引起了我的注意。这是一本小书,介绍如何从妇女怀孕到护理婴儿的过程中降低死亡率。她提出了一些可以遵循的简单的做法,保持婴儿清洁和健康,让他们远离疾病。她为什么要写这些东西呢?林巧稚认为哪些妇女会需要这些忠告呢?我细细地看了这篇文章,了解到那是为农村妇女写的。也许是她们在遇到紧急情况时找不到医生。
突然我想起,在那个年代,一个女子去学医是多么困难啊!那可是一个女性受教育总是排在男性之后的年代。难道她比别人要聪明得多?进一步阅读使我了解到,是苦干、决心和善良的天性使她走进医学院的大门。后来使她成功的是她对所有病人献出的爱心和体贴。数不胜数的故事讲述着林巧稚如何在劳累一天之后,又在深夜去为贫苦家庭的产妇接生,而这些家庭是不可能给她报酬的。 现在我迫不及待地想多了解一些有关她的情况。我发现林巧稚把毕生都奉献给了病人,而自己却选择了独身。她确保了大约五万名婴儿的安全出生。这时候,我非常激动。为什么不像林巧稚那样去读医学院,继续她高尚的事业呢?现在努力提高学习成绩、准备大学入学考试还不算晚……

Listening 1 You are going to hear a personal opinion on why women are not given the same chances in their careers as men. Before you listen, discuss the problems that women may have. Then listen to the tape and check your ideas. Girls have more difficulty getting an education than boys.1__________________________________________________________
2________________________________________________________________
3_________________________________________________________________________________________2 Listen to the tape once more and take notes on the three problems given in the listening. Girls have more difficulty getting to the
top of their chosen career. Women are more likely to give up their careers to look after children or run the house1. This way of thinking ________ some girls from training for a ______ .
2. Unless women are given the __________, they will never be able to show that they can ______________ successfully.
3. These are women’s _____________ while men do not have this problem. They can work long _________ and go on _____________. Fill the blanks.preventscareeropportunityrun companiesresponsibilitiesbusiness tripshoursListening text ARE WOMEN GIVEN A FAIR CHANCE?
I don’t think women are given a fair chance to have as good a career as men for three reasons.
First, girls have more difficulty getting an education than boys. If there is little money in the family, boys will get first chance to go to school. Even if girls do begin school, they often leave earlier to help the family or to go to work. It is often felt that girls will marry and look after another family but that boys must earn money for the family. This way of thinking prevents some girls from training for a career. Second, women have more difficulty getting to the top of their chosen career. Most people who run companies are men . So they choose other men to succeed them. This means that women get fewer chances to show how good they are at running businesses. Unless they are give the opportunity, they will never be able to show that they can run companies successfully.
Third ,women are more likely to give up their careers to look after children or run the house. This is because these kinds of responsibilities are considered women’s work . However, men do not have this problem. They can work long hours and go on business trips. They can improve their career chances since the family is cared for at home .In small groups discuss whether you agree with the speaker. Give your reasons.Sample:
S1: I don’t agree with the speaker. I think girls have as much as chance to have a good career as boys do.
S2: That may be so in the cities, but what about the countryside? I think it’s not so easy for girls to get a good education then.
S3: Yes, I agree. My cousin comes from the western part of China, and she’s often told me about the problems her classmates have. As soon as there’s a family crisis, they want their girls to come home and help sort it out….Sample dialogue:
LM=Li Mei DL=Ding Li
LM: Let’s describe Lin San. She has been a great support to the old people in our area. My mother always praises her for being so hard-working and energetic. She wants me to be like her.
DL: Why does your mother admire her so?Speaking and WritingLM: She says that she’s the person who is unselfish enough to help other people even when she’s busy. She helped my mother by being brave and going to the shop where she worked and telling them they should treat her better.
DL: I’ve heard she’s very determined and confident. She doesn’t mind talking to leaders and will not give up even when they disagree with her. She’s so warm-hearted and will always help others.LM: True. My mother likes her too. She told me how she is very kind and considerate to her older neighbours. She helped them with their shopping, even when she’s tired or has no shopping of her own. She’s very generous in giving her time to others.Sample writing 1:Song Qingling
Song Qingling, one of the top leaders in our history, was respected as the mother of China
because she had devoted her life to our happiness.
In her early political life, she followed Dr Sun Yat-sen to realize “ the three principles”. Although she suffered from her husband’s death and cruel wars in the following years, she stuck to fighting with all the Chinese. Since the PRC was founded, she had concerned herself with welfare projects,
especially for women and children.
Loving, ambitious, determined, intelligent and hardworking, she was one of the great women in our history.
Sample writing 2: My teacher, Ms Zhang
My teacher, Ms Zhang, is well past fifty. She is an ordinary-looking woman with a pair of bright eyes. She looks old for her age, because her hair is all white.
She is a teacher well worth honoring. She came to our school in 1990, and has always been one of its best and most popular teachers. She works very hard. She carefully prepares for her lessons, delivers her lectures and corrects our homework. She has been a friend to her students as well as a teacher. Whenever I need help, she will pay extra attention to me both inside and outside of class. I shall always be grateful for the help and guidance she has given me.
I respect my teacher very much. Every Spring Festival I pay a visit to her. I am proud of having a teacher like her. I like her very much.Summing up write down what you have learned about the great women and their achievements.
After learning this unit I’ve understood what a great woman did is useful for other people, and that they had to overcome many problems and that even they had to give up to achieve these ambitions. As great women, they don’t care for themselves at all, and at some point or rather, they must give some sacrifices just like Madam Curie, she devoted all her life to science. Not all people could do like them.? From this unit you have also learned
