July 6, 1994 was a day of nightmare(噩夢(mèng))that I'll never forget. That afternoon when I was making up my 1 in a dressing tent at the moment, I suddenly heard someone run past shouting,“Fire!”Fire was what we circus(馬戲團(tuán))people most 2 , for there was a large audience(觀眾)in the tent, including many children. I rushed towards the tent with a 3 but I could do nothing with it since the tent was burning too high and the flames spreading 4 .

  In the burning tent was a 5 of panic(恐慌): people rushed towards the exits, and some even jumped twelve feet from the top rows of the grandstand to the ground 6 . Some people, after 7 , tried to reenter to help their relatives or friends. Yet it was 8 for them to get through the crowd, instead, they blocked the 9 . I fought at one exit, shouting at the top of my lungs,“Go on! Keep 10 !”At every exit, circus people were doing the same thing. In the midst(中間)of this scene, the 11 kept on playing 12 the tent was a fire overhead.

  City fire equipment 13 arrived and put out the fire. All the circus people were 14 though some were bruised (撞傷) or burned during the rescue 15 . The audience, however, were not that 16 . In a panic, they all tried to use the regular 17 through which they had 18 the tent . As a result, 168 people had died in the 19 -the worst circus disaster (災(zāi)難) in 20 .

    Many children may be fond of animals, but few ever think of making the study of animals their career(職業(yè)).Even fewer will be   1    by the whole world,   2    the title of United Nations Messenger(使者) of Peace.

    But one woman has    3    all that. She has lived with chimpanzees in the African forest for more than 20 years and made great    4   .This woman is Jane Goodall. She was born in London, England, in 1934.Goodall’s lifelong    5    in animals began at an early age. By the age of 10 or 11,Goodall    6    going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a strange dream in those days, as young    7    didn’t think of having such “wild” actions. But she was   8    by her mother. She told her that if she really wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of   9   and never give up looking for a way.

    When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957,she readily   10   .Within a few months of her arrival she met the famous anthropologist(人類學(xué)家) Dr. Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Goodall was the    11    person he was looking for to begin a    12    of wild chimpanzees on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.

    In July 1960, Goodall arrived at Gombe National Park in Tanzania. At the beginning, studying the chimpanzees was not    13   for her. The animals fled from her   14   , so it took months for her to get close to them. With a strong   15   , she searched the forest every day, trying not to get too close to the chimpanzees too   16   . Gradually the chimpanzees became used to her presence.

    She discovered many things of chimpanzees during her first years at Gombe National Park. In October 1960,she observed a chimpanzee making and using   17    to fish for termites (白蟻).This discovery threw    18    on the popular idea at the time that Man was the world’s only toolmaker. The longer Goodall’s research continues, the more it becomes obvious that chimpanzees are very   19    to humans.

    Since the mid-1980s, Goodall has been lecturing around the world to raise people’s sense about environmental    20   . “Let’s live in the new age with hope, respect for all living things, understanding and love,” she said.
