The forest in Senegal, a country in western Africa, is full of the chimps’ usual noises. Suddenly dogs bark. Larger male chimps drop from the trees to face the threat while the others climb to safety. Then the dogs’ young human masters appear.

One mother chimp with a tiny baby tries to run. The dogs attack and separate them. The two teenage boys quickly catch the baby chimp. But they don’t act out of sympathy --- they save the baby so they can sell it.

After the teenagers return to their hometown, they visit a man who is said to be very interested in chimps. When they ask the man, Johnny Kante, if he wants to buy the baby, he replies, “That’s not what we do.” Kante is a member of a scientific team. Although Kante is angry with the teens for capturing the chimp, he hides his anger and persuades them to take him to the baby chimp.

Unsure of what to do next upon seeing the chimp, Kante calls Jill Pruetz, the head of the chimp research team. “I’m really worried,” says Pruetz, doubtful that the mother is still alive. But knowing that wild chimps sometimes adopt orphans(孤儿), Kante and pruetz decide they must try to return the baby chimp to its wild community.

Kante pays another visit to the teenagers. After he explains how much trouble they are in, because chimps are an endangered species, he requests they should give him the frightened baby without payment. They agree. Kante takes the baby chimp to his home and feeds her milk from a bottle whenever she cries.

The next morning, Pruetz and Kante leave the baby with another team member and begin their search for the wild chimps. Pruetz quickly finds the group in the woods. She recognizes the female that is without her child.

Pruetz is so excited that she runs the entire mile back to bring the baby chimp to the tree where the chimps are hanging out. The researchers place the baby on the ground near the tree and back away. Almost immediately, a male chimp drops to the ground and stares at the baby curiously. He carries her back to where the mother is waiting.

Pruetz still can’t believe how fortunate they were to have reunited the mother and child. “Surprising is the only word I can think of,” she says.

1.The dogs’ master visit Johnny Kante to ______________.

A.sell the baby chimp

B.ask him to take care of the baby chimp

D.ask him to return the baby chimp to its wild community

3.It can be learned from the passage that ___________.

A.Kante feeds the baby chimp carefully in the lab

B.larger male chimps protect other chimps when there are dangers

C.the teenagers get some money after setting the baby chimp free

D.Pruetz and Kante take the baby chimp with them to search for the wild chimps.

4.What is the main idea of the passage? ________

Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developging something called “computer face”. He also said that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls(颚骨),“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes.

The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature (过早的) signs(迹象) of aging. “If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown(皱眉)while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will end up with frown lines.” Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”

Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy face’ without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often surprised by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”

He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”

Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that, after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.

1.According to the passage, what makes women develop a “computer face”?

A. Frowning every now and then.

B. Concentrating on computers frequently.

C. Working too long in front of a screen.

D. Sitting in the same place for a long time.

2.According to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging?

A. Saggy jowls and short necks.

B. Turkey neck and frown lines.

C. Deep-set wrinkles and angry faces.

D. Second neck and stressed muscles.

3.The underlined word “grumpy” in Paragraph 3 probably means?

A. happyB. surprisedC. angryD. relaxed

4.From the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that ________.

A. “computer face” is avoidable

B. we should give up using computers

C. we should break the habit of “grumpy face”

D. the younger generation is worse at computers
