These days,it is easier for us to travel to other countries than ever before.However,there is a big difficulty that most of us   1    when we meet people in other countries—we cannot communicate with them.There are   2   where English is still not spoken,though it is the most widely known language.So,wouldn't it be   3   if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world?

Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the world's  4  truly international language.In fact,although   5   artificial(人造的)languages have been already created,only Esperanto has had much success.Its learners say that it is about four times   6    to learn than other languages.Spelling and pronunciation are both easy,too.For example,it does not have silent __7_ like the “h” in “honest”.If you   8   a word,you can spell it without any difficulty.The grammar is also as simple as possible:only sixteen basic   9   ,no irregular verbs(不规则动词),only six verb endings.

In short,Esperanto should be attractive(有吸引力的)as a language to learn,  10   there is a problem:how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway,we hope that some day one language can be mastered easily by anyone.

Jane Gooddall first made friends with a chimp(黑猩猩)when she was one year old.On her first birthday her mother carried her to the zoo near her home and bought her a toy chimp.She loved her furry(毛绒)friend very much.At age 7,Jane Gooddall read Dr.Doolittle,a book about a doctor who could talk to animals.She wanted to be able to talk to her favorite animal,too.She expected to go to Africa some day so that she could learn more about chimps.When Jane grew up,she still dreamed of going to Africa.She got her wish when she was 26 years old.She went to Gombe National Park where many chimps lived in the forests.

Jane watched the chimps closely day after day.She saw that they were a lot like people.They could think and make plans.They used tools.They showed their fear,pain,or pleasure.Sometimes,they fought.Often,they hugged(拥抱)and kissed.
