TipsEndangered animals are animals that are in danger of becoming extinct. Animals are identified as being endangered either because there are already too few of them living in the wild, or even in captivity; or because their continued existence is threatened by a changing environment which results in them losing access to adequate food or living conditions. The way to understand what is meant by “too few” is that their reproductive rates are lower than their mortality rates.The industrialization of human societies and the globalization of the human culture have resulted in dramatic environmental changes in the past two centuries. These changes have been too fast for too many of the earth’s creatures to survive. Although many an imals have been endangered through the ages, the threat to animals is greater now than ever before.Text AReading Comprehension1.A.The interviewee’s personal informationJane Goodall, 76 years old, is a world- famous primatologist.Her research She studies animal behavior and animal emotions among the wild chimpanz ees.Her major achievemen t She revolutionized our understanding of animal behavior and proved that the difference between humans and apes is one of degree, not of kind.The subject of the interviewHer research on wild chimpanzees.Paragraphs Focuses of the interview Key points of Jane Goodwill’s responses Paras. 6-13The purpose:to preserve the endangered speciesThe methods:1) captive breeding 1) She doesn't like captive breeding, but it does help the endangered animals survive and breeParagraphs Focuses of the interview Key points of Jane Goodwill’s responses2) actions of the animal rights group of PETA3) vegetarianism d in the wild.2) She doesn’t support the extreme actions of P ETA.3) Heavy meat eating is damaging to the environm ent and human health.Paras. 4-5, 14-15Her new discoveries aboutthe wild chimpanzeesDifferences between human beings and chimpanzees:1) Very small difference (biologically): only about a 1 percent difference in DNA;2) Big difference (intellectually): human's spoken language, which triggers the development of intellect, a unique ability to discuss and share our feelings, the ability that enables us to develop a moral code.Similarities between human beings and chimpanzees:1) From the anatomical perspective:Almost the same, though the human brain is bigger.2) From the psychological perspective:Chimpanzees share the humana. qualities like love, compassion, and altruism;b. feelings and emotions like happiness and sadness, fear and despair, anger, and others;3) From the intellectual perspective:Chimpanzees have intellectual abilities once thought to be unique to human beings:understand abstract symbols, generalize, and learn sigh language.Paras. 16-19The current situation1) The situation of the planet is worse off in most ways because of the soaring population and damage to the ecosystem.2) A number of men express their love and respectto her for her work with the chimpanzees.
