this period!”Theboys goal was far too difficult,but it did cause him to go on.And that is what a goal is forto cause us tomove in the direction we have chosen,in other words,to cause us to keep working!Not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will endup with a success.Not every dream will come true.But when you fall short of your aim,maybe you can say,“Yes,but look at what Ive

chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and eveningfood-based enrichment devices,but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentallyengaged.With 79 chimpanzees,each with their distinctive personality,care staff often find that different chimpsreact differently to new enrichment.Last year,we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond.A violinperformance received quite the response.Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus hasstopped the activities,which we hope toresumein the near future.This past week,we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate.Some chimps,like twins Buttercupand Clarisse,were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes.Others,like Emma,weremore interested in trying to take it apart.29-year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano.She sat off to the side for a few minutes,buteventually she decided that was enough.She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful ofwaste at the piano.Receiving her message loud and clear,we removed the piano.We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it.As with many retired lab chimpanzeesLuke has some anxiety issues.He seems particularly distrustful of anything new,including people,food,andenrichment.But when we presented the chimps with the piano,Luke was the first to investigate.We could notbelieve our eyes this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new!To us at Project Chimps,this is what it is all about:giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose.We arehonored to be part of their journey.12.Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment?A.They are of different genders.B.They have natural curiosities.C They are as intelligent as humans.D.They have their unique characters.13.What does the underlined word“resume”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Continue.B.Suspend.C.Monitor.D.Regulate.14.Who showed the least interest in the piano?A.Buttercup and Clarisse.B.Emma.C.Precious.D.Luke.15.What is the text mainly about?A.How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees.B.What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees daily life.C.How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment.D.What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0
