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.
One advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.
“Nothing fits,” said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior in electrical and computer engineering at Rice University. “Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don't fit. People get very unhappy.”
Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtual (虚拟) fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time.
Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, 'The color is wrong' or 'I got the right size but it still does not fit.' We want to make it like you're in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.
Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player.
Zhang scans Wong and turns her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong's dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shopper's 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.
Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”
NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
Entering a university is an important part of a person's life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine or education. . An important one started in Egypt over one thousand years ago.
The world's oldest surviving university, AL-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque for religion (宗教寺院) in A. D. 972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and talked about the subject of religion and law. . Leaders in the city of Cario decided to create a school for higher learning and soon after that, and AL-Azhar University was founded.
. For these teachers at AL-Azhar, they needed to think about what courses to teach and how to teach them. The earliest courses were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teachers, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers had interesting discussions, and there was no 'right' answer. In the years that followed, the new university interested scholars from around the world. . At AL-Azhar, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.
Over a thousand years later, AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world. . Today, many of the world's most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the same traditions as they do at AL-Azhar.

F. The cost of university education is increasing year by year.
G. A university was a new idea at that time.
I'd like to share a story from over 25 years ago that changed my life. During a vacation trip to California, I managed to 1 some time to stay with family friends in northern California but that meant in the short time I needed to find my way to the bus station, some 30 miles away. Being a poor student, I had little 2 to get there.
I tired to call various 3 but they were all too 4 to pick me up. Then, I got one person on the phone who 5 to transport me with limited 6! He came to pick me up about 45 minutes later. The driver was 7 and I remember wondering 8 the taxi didn't have a meter. The driver was so kind. He knew I was upset so he 9 me with stories and good conversation. He said I looked like his 10.
At one point, I asked him why he 11 so little compared to the others. Then, he explained that he was actually 12 and hadn't 13 his number from the phone book. When I called, clearly 14, he felt that he should come to help.
This man drove an hour to help a 15 he didn't know for a fee that barely covered his gas, if that! This man's 16 warms my heart every time I think of him. 17, I didn't get his name and his face has since faded from my memory. But he is on my 18 often and I wish I could thank him 19." Thank you Mr. Angel Taxi-Man! I hope your granddaughter knows what a 20 grandfather she has!"

Wechat (微信) is becoming increasing popular with people. Recently I have made a survey among my classmate about the use of Wechat. According to a result, 45% of the classmates admit they often use it because comparing with other means of communication, Wechat has more advantages. It was cheap, convenient and easy to send all kinds of messages around. Besides, 35% of they are against using it, saying it will affect their study. Not using Wechat, the rest has no opinion about it. As far as I'm concerned, although Wechat offers us great convenience, it should be made good use. We should not be slaves to it or let it to govern our minds and behaviors.
