　　At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. "All through my childhood people said you can't go to Africa. You're a girl." Goodall says. "But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there's nothing you can't do." [FS:PAGE]

　　In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall went to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in a remote animal preserve, recording the animals* behavior and interactions.

　　For three months Goodall made little progress. But she says, "I never came close to giving up."Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a piece of grass into a termite hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she came to the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites on it. The discovery - that some animals use tools - was unknown to most scientists at the time.

　　Goodall saw chimpanzees show human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.

　　Goodall received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at England's Cambridge University. Now she travels around the world raising money to preserve wildlife. "I love living in the forest with the chimpanzees," she says. "I'd much rather be there than traveling around from city to city."
