When asked，“Can you sum up what you have learned from 50 years of living among the wild chimpanzees？”Goodall replied，“Of course.We humans are unique，but we’re not as different as we used to think.Between chimps and humans，there is only about a 1 percent difference in DNA.Our biggest difference is our spoken language，which has enabled us to develop culturally4 in ways that chimpanzees have not...Some people therefore say that violence and war are inevitable(不可避免的)．I say rubbish.Our brains are fully capable of controlling this type of instinctive(本能的)behavior.And most of the time we do.” 【日积月累】 1．revolutionize彻底变革，完全改革 2．pioneering开拓性的，探索性的 3．diminish缩减，降低，减少 4．culturally与文化有关地，文化地 【佳句欣赏】 1．When asked，“Can you sum up what you have learned from 50 years of living among the wild chimpanzees？” 当别人问道，“你能总结一下五十年来和野生黑猩猩生活在一起所了解到的东西吗？” when asked意为“当被问道……/当别人问道”。 2．Our biggest difference is our spoken language，which has enabled us to develop culturally in ways that chimpanzees have not... 我们的最大区别在于我们的语言交流，它使我们能够以一些黑猩猩所不具备的方式来进行文化发展。 enable sb.to do sth.意为“使……能做某事”。 welfare n．福利；福利事业 project n．项目；工程；规划institute n．学会；学院；协会 specialist n．专家；专业工作者 specialize vi.专攻；专门从事；专注于 landmine n．地雷 organization n．组织；机构；团体 behaviour n．行为；举止；习性 nest n．巢；窝observat
