One thinks one knows him very well. For a hundred years or more he has been killed, captured, and imprisoned, in zoos. His bones have been mounted in natural history museums everywhere, and he has always exerted a strong fascination upon scientists and romantics alike. He is the stereotyped monster of the horror films and the adventure books, and an obvious (though not perhaps strictly scientific) link with our ancestral past.Yet the fact is we know very little about gorillas. No really satisfactory photograph has ever been taken of one in a wild state, no zoologist, however intrepid, has been able to keep the animal under close and constant observation in the dark jungles in which he lives. Carl Akeley, the American naturalist, led two expeditions in the nineteentwenties, and now lies buried among the animals he loved so well. But even he was unable to discover how long the gorilla lives, or how or why it dies, nor was he able to define the exact social pattern of the family groups, or indicate the final extent of their intelligence. All this and many other things remain almost as much a mystery as they were when the French explorer Du Chaillu first described the animal to the civilized world a century ago. The Abominable Snowman who haunts the imagination of climbers in the Himalayas is hardly more elusive.New words and expressions生詞短語（good article : five stars該文寫得不錯。本文中，gorillas用him代替。不能做定語詞。重要句型：No really satisfactory photograph has ever been taken of one in … Take picture / photograph照相of one定語后置，satisfactory photograph of one。我是排頭兵。口語：maybe I’m too bold…or .I’m bold enough…or.Allowmyselfto say …Take one’s leave = take leave離開（正式用法）Would you please take your leave?我很煩的幾種表示法：What a bore.

Even if one didn’t know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles.Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are petitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage bative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this. At the international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behaviour of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind the spectators, of the nations. who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriouslybelieve—at any rate for short periods—that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.New words and expressions生詞短語goodwill n. 友好prestige n.聲譽(yù)cricket disgracevt. 使丟臉inclination n.比賽bative n.恣意，放蕩frankly ….極相似petitive a. 競爭性的behaveiour行動pick up隨意挑選spectatotorside n. 隊(duì)word….into…..引起……注意patriotism n.地方觀念 愛國主義fury vt. 卷入absurd any rate無論……,至少…….Notes on the vocabularies詞語注釋goodwill=friendship goodwill games:友好運(yùn)動會goodwill visit:友好訪問pay a goodwill visit toofficial visit:官方正式訪問state visit:國事訪問cricket as merry as a cricket(蟋蟀) 形容心情高興，快樂無比inclination n. 意愿incline v. be inclined to do sth表示強(qiáng)烈的意愿I am inclined to take toefl.willingshow inclination tofollow one’s inclination隨心所欲contest n. 比賽近義詞：petition game match tournament racecontest:a group of judgesbeauty contest選美比賽petition:socially抽象使用Social petition is fierce.Dog eat 。behaviour行動 舉止Behave 。If only I had a pair of 。歐文斯，他共獲得4枚金牌， 讓希特勒disgrace(顏面盡失)，后人評論“the 1936 Olympin Games is a mistake”,而 且稱為political tragedy,影射希特勒的種族歧視，導(dǎo)致極端的仇恨，引發(fā)二戰(zhàn)。 還有‘追求’的意思He is pursuing the girl.A cold pursues 。 近義詞：employment professionemplo
