1、The orangutanAmong all the animals, the ape is most like
human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brain
structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of
blood. There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee (黑猩猩),
the orangutan (猩猩), the gorilla (大猩猩), and the gibbon (长
臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions
of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. All apes are
covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere
on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands
each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things
the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on
each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with
their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the
ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This
enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly
from tree to tree. These animals live in small family groups that
move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits.
They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they
are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep

there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look
for more food. There are some differences among the following
three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet
high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows
to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan
is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and
weight up to 200 pounds. Chimpanzees are the smartest of all
apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress
themselves, and to do things that human children can do.

2、One Good Reason to Let Smallpox LiveIt\'s now a fair bet that
we will never see the total extinction (灭绝) of the smallpox (天
花) virus. When smallpox was completely got rid of in the world,
scientists wanted to destroy the killer virus in the last two labs,
one in the US and one in Russia. They asked: If smallpox has
truly gone from the planet, what point was there in keeping
these reserves?In reality, of course, it was naive to imagine that
everyone would let go of such a powerful potential weapon.
Undoubtedly several nations still have a few vials (小药瓶). And
the last "official" stocks of live Virus bred mistrust of the US and
Russia, _____ no obvious gain.Now American researchers have
found an animal model of the human disease, opening the way
for tests on new treatments and vaccines(疫苗). So once again
there\'s a good reason to the virus, just in keep the disease puts
in a reappearance.How do we case with the mistrust of the US
and Russia? deal. Keep the virus Simple international support in
a well - guarded UN laboratory that\'s open to all countries. The
US will object, of course, just as it with a multilateral (多边的)
