On July 16,1960, Jane Goodall, a 26-year-old former secretary from England, began to study the behavior of chimpanzees in the wild. Until that time, scientists had mostly observed and studied chimpanzees in laboratories and zoos. Few scientists had gone to study chimpanzees in the remote areas of Africa where the chimps live. When scientists had studied the chimpanzees in the wild, they hadn't spent long periods of time observing them. Jane Goodall planned to watch chimpanzees in Africa over a ten-year period and see exactly how they behaved. She was not a professional scientist when she started out. Her book, In the Shadow of Man, tells how she began her project and what she discovered.

　　As Goodall said in 1973,“I had no qualification at all. I was just somebody with a love of animals.”Her love of animals drew her to Africa where she met Dr. Leakey SB. Leakey was a world-famous scientist who was studying how prehistoric people lived. Since chimpanzees are human's closest living relatives, Leakey thought prehistoric people might have lived in the same way that chimpanzees live today. Leakey told Goodall that studying chimpanzees might give clues about the way that early people lived.

　　Leakey asked Goodall to study the chimpanzees on the shores of lake Tanganyika in Africa. The chimpanzees were very shy and the country was difficult to travel through. Goodall took on the difficult job of finding and watching the chimpanzees.

Nesbit, and her favorite story of all, The little White Horse.

At Exeter University Rowling took her degree in French and 　9 one year studying in Paris. After college she moved to London to 　10 as a researcher and bilingual secretary.

By the time the train 　15 into Kings Cross station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the plot were fully 　16 in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in 　17 and cafes over her lunch hours.

After her marriage to a Portuguese TV journalist ended in divorce, Rowling returned to Britain with her infant daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes and 　18 . She settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister and 　19 to finish the book before looking for a teaching job. Wheeling her daughter’s carriage around the city to escape their 　20 , cold apartment, she would duck into coffee shops to write when the baby fell asleep. In this way she finished the book and started sending it to publishers.
