Dr Dian Fossey,one of the world's leading women scientists,had a remarkable career.The work—she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas(大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady increase of the most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later,she returned to Africa to begin a long-time study of the mountain gorillas.She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She established her "Karisoke" Research Centre camp on September 24,1967.
Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology and social organization.She found that in order to achieve this,she needed to recognize individual gorillas,which required that the gorillas get used to her presence(出現(xiàn)).By copying gorillas'behaviour and sounds,F(xiàn)ossey began to gain their trust,and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named "Peanuts" reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour.Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977,one of Fossey's favorite gorillas,Digit,was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26,1985,F(xiàn)ossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke.Her body was discovered near the research centre.Most probably,Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against.On her tombstone(墓碑),"No one loved gorillas more..."

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
