Jane Goodall was born April 3,1934 in London, England, and grew up in Bournemouth on the southern coast of England．On her second birthday, Jane Goodall's father bought her a beautiful, life-like toy chimpanzee(黑猩猩)named Jubilee, in honor of a baby chimpanzee born at the London Zoo．Jane Goodall loved the toy, and to this day, Jubilee sits on a chair in her home in England．
As a child Jane Goodall was an avid(渴望的)reader of the popular Tarzan books．By the age of ten or eleven, she dreamed of going to Africa to live with animals．She had encouragement from her mother, who told her,“Jane, if you really want something, and if you work hard, take advantage of the opportunities, and never give up, you will some-how find a way．”
When a friend invited her to Kenya in 1957, Jane readily accepted the offer．Jane traveled to Kenya by boat at the age of 23, and it was there that she heard of Dr．Louis Leakey and managed to impress(留下印象)him with her knowledge of Africa and its wildlife．Dr．Leakey hired her as his assistant at Gombe National Park, watching the wild chimpanzees and recording everything she saw．
Goodall married Baron Hugo van Lawick in 1964．(They broke up in 1974．)In 1965 she earned her Ph．D．in Ethology(动物行动学)from Cambridge University and returned to Tanzania for her studies．One of the many Goodall observations was that of chimpanzees making and using tools．This behavior was previously(先前)thought to separate humans from other animals．Over the years, Goodall's studies have continued to show the many striking similarities between humans and chimpanzees．

THE names of William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Jane Austen are probably not new to you．They are stars of the literary landscape and their works add to the charm of their British homeland．This week, we take you to the places where these literary masters grew up, lived or got their inspiration from．
Stratford-upon-Avon
Located on the banks of the river Avon in the north of England, Stratford-upon-Avon provides a beautiful glimpse into Britain’s rural life．Every year, thousands of tourists flock to the town to see the land that produced Britain’s greatest playwright．They visit the house where Shakespeare lived and go to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to enjoy his plays．
William Shakespeare(1564-1616)
Stratford-upon-Avon would be on an ordinary small city in Britain if it was not the birthplace of William Shakespeare．Shakespeare left the town when he was 18, but even at the height of his career in London, Shakespeare returned here regularly to visit his family．Shakespeare thought of it as his real home, even though London brought him fame．
Bath
UNESCO World Heritage city．Bath has the country’s only natural hot springs．The city is named after its most popular sight：the Roman Baths, which were built by the Romans in the first century as a public bath house．For centuries, people went there to bathe in the natural mineral water．
Jane Austen(1775-1817)
Bath was one of Austen’s favorite places．It appears in her novels ?Persuasion and Northanger Abbey． In the latter she wrote：“I do like it very much．If I could have papa and mamma, and the rest of them here, I suppose I should be too happy!”
London
LONDON is the cultural centre of Britain．Its historical attractions draw numerous visitors．Treasures such as Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace are among the world’s top tourist attractions．Museums like the British Museum and the National Gallery, all free, make London a favorite for art lovers．
Charles Dickens(1812-1870)?
Dickens spent most of his life in London and wrote extensively about this city．Born in Hampshire, south of London, Dickens moved to London when he was two years old．He depicted London as foggy, dirty, with villains everywhere, as shown in his works Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, Bleak House and A Tale of Two Cities．
