Jane Goodall, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is famous for chimp research spent years {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (observe)and recording chimps' daily {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (behave). She discovered {#blank#}4{#/blank#} chimps eat are meat, fruits and nuts. She also discovered chimps can communicate with each other, and her study also can help chimps lead  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} safer as well as happier life.

    For forty years, Jane has tried her best {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (make) the world understand that wildlife is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (respect). She has argued that wild animals should {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (leave) in the wild instead of in the zoo.

    She said once she separated from chimps, all the memories would crowd {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. She remembered the chimps in labs and small chimps in cages though they had done nothing wrong. She will continue helping them. Her achievements are {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (inspire) for us to do more.

    When I was a little girl, every time my dad was repairing something, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}ask me to hold the hammer, and meanwhile, have a conversation with me. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.

    I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning, no matter what. Several years later I bought a house, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} my dad painted by himself for three days in the 80-degree summer heat. All he asked was for me to talk to him. But I was always busy, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(able) to find any time for conversation with him.

    One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(forget) some things we discussed {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(late). I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Later that day came a call {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (say) my father was in hospital. Immediately I bought a ticket for a flight and on my way I was thinking about all the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (miss) occasions to have{#blank#}8{#/blank#}talk with my dad.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the time I got to hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I know about my dad, his deepest thoughts and dreams. After his death I learned more about him, and even more about myself.

Barbara Millicent Roberts, also called Barbie, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (consider) the most successful toy doll in history. She first {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (appear) in the world of toys about 60 years ago, and has become very popular among little girls.

According to the Mattel Company, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} created Barbie, 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home. However, today there are many dolls competing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Barbie on the market. Bratz dolls, for example, look more like today's pop {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (star) with lots of makeup and miniskirts. Now Bratz is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} great challenge to Barbie, as the company offers various clothing, too.

It seems that Barbie is no longer {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (attract) to older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun, but when they get older, they want something more fashionable and modern," says a shop keeper of a toy store in New York. On the international scene, Barbie remains number one. Although Mattel has been selling fewer Barbies in the United States over the past years, sales in other countries have kept {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rise). It is hard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (say) how long Barbie will stay on as a celebrity in the world of toy dolls, but {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (undoubted) 60 is not the age to retire.
