    Lately, people have entered the forests where chimpanzees live. The chimpanzees have been getting sick because of people's diseases. In addition, people are hunting chimpanzees. Their number is becoming smaller and smaller.

    Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of Africa. They eat many kinds of foods, from plant leaves and seeds to insects and even other small animals. Chimpanzees' favourite food is fruit.

    Chimpanzees are very clever and they can use tools well. They can catch bugs by using sticks, and break nuts by using rocks.

    The world's forests are much smaller than they were before. Roads were built in deep forests, so people start to enter the forests where chimpanzees live. That may lead to many problems. One problem for chimpanzees is that they can easily catch people's diseases and die.

Chimpanzees are much closer to people than monkeys.

    As it's easier for people to enter forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees are caught to be pets or for scientific research. The young ones are taken away from the forests, and the adults are killed. Chimpanzees are likely to disappear in the future.

    Driverless(无人驾驶的)technology is quickly progressing with many cars being tested on roads around the world.Now, researchers in Singapore are testing a self-driving scooter,which has four wheels and a seat.It can move at a speed of up to six kilometers an hour.Researchers said the scooter was built with materials that did not cost much money.

    The scooter was developed by the National University of Singapore.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)also took part in the project.It was designed(设计)for people who cannot,should not or do not want to drive a car.It could help older adults,the disabled or people who are too young to drive.

Marcelo Ang,a researcher at the National University of Singapore,says the scooter can be especially useful for people who use wireless devices(无线设备)while walking on city streets,because there is a sensors(探测器)in it. “I'm sure you have experienced people who almost run into you while using their phones on the street.Would it be so nice to drive the scooter without worrying about the safety?”he says.Besides,developers of the scooter say it can work together with ride—sharing services to make trips completely easy and safe.

The researchers hope the scooter will reduce the need for cars,which can lower pollution and reduce accidents.

    Marcelo Ang says the scooter has completed many successful tests at the university.Kevin Xiangyu Hui,a university student.tested the scooter and said he found the ride was very smooth and safe.“When I sat on this machine.I felt really relaxed and it was really cool.”The scooter has yet to complete lots of road tests so it is not available to buy at present.

When Grace Berbig was 7 years old, her mom became ill. Every day, Grace and her two younger sisters would write letters 1 of messages of love. These letters brought joy to their mom.2 their mother passed away three years later. After that, their father often reminded them that3 was a choice, and that it was their job to turn the heartbreaking(令人心碎的) event into4 positive(积极的). 

When Grace got into high school, she5 many organizations to offer help to others, but she6 felt like she was doing enough. "I want to7 a special way for people to help. Everyone can be a part of it, no matter 8 they have money or not. "

In October, 2018, Grace9 a club named Letters of Love at her high school to support children in fighting serious illnesses 10 letter-writing and craft-making. 

To her surprise, more than 100 students11 at the first club meeting. Letters of Love grew so fast that Grace had to raise money online to help cover the 12 of craft-making materials the next year.

 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Ye Lianping is a 96- year- old re tired teacher from a village in Anhui Province. He has been teaching left- behind children there for free during the past 24 years. 

Teaching has always been an important part of Ye's life. After he retired, he began offering free English- language classes to left- behind children. He first set up a classroom in his own house. Later, with the help of the government, he got another two classrooms. To provide education for more children, he also set up the Ye Lianping Scholarship Fund with almost all his money and the donations(捐赠物) from others. So far, it has helped hundreds of left- behind children. 

Ye is quite generous(慷慨的) to these children, but he spends very little money on himself. He lives a very simple life. He lives with his wife in a house built over 30 years ago. He never buys any drinks. And he has been wearing the same jacket for over 40 years. 

Although he is getting older, Ye is never tired of teaching. In 2018, he got hurt while riding a bicycle to buy vegetables. Instead of resting in bed for recovery, he quickly returned to class with a walking stick. 

Ye is racing against time to spend as much time as possible on left- behind children's education. People call him "the candlelight of the village". But he said, "I'm just a firefly(萤火虫), muking little light, not as much light as a candlelight can give. "
