   One day Louis Leakey said he needed a volunteer. He needed someone to go to a lake in Tanzania to study a kind of chimpanzees. Jane was excited.

   On July 16,1960,she began her explore (探 索) .At first,the chimpanzees ran away from Jane. But with time passing,they got used to her being around.

   Every day,Jane would follow the chimpanzees,taking'notes on their behavior. She learned many new things about chimpanzees. She watched how a chimpanzee made a tool. She learned how some chimpanzees became good leaders. She watched how mother chimpanzees raised their children. She watched animals get angry and get upset.

She went over to the children 14 and sat beside them. After some time,one of the children 15 her. She felt a little relaxed and smiled back. Then she went close to the child. She slowly put her arm around the child and started 16 a song in German. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang,but the rhythm (节奏) was the same. Jenny sang a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the 17 ,another child went up fo Jenny and started singing the rhythm. Then more children joined. They 18 many smiles together.

   From the other side of the hall,Leela was smiling and watching them. Noticing Leela's 19 on her,Jenny had an exciting feeling from her heart: “See,I don't have any language barriers here. We 20 speak and communicate! ” At that moment,she understood: we’re all simply human,and we have the ability to connect with each other.
