My Son the Chimpanzee
A jungle in West Africa may seem a strange place to start an orphanage - unless you are trying to raise 50 baby chimpanzees whose parents have been illegally killed.
A baby chimpanzee splashes about with his adoptive father in the bright sunlight. It is a happy scene, but not a typical one. 1)_____________________. Every year 300 adults are killed by poachers and the babies are either left to starve or are smuggled to cities like Pointe Noire and sold as pets to Europe or the Middle East. The lucky ones come to the Conkouati sanctuary, which is built on a series of islands in a lagoon near the coast. It is a small area of safety for the rescued chimps.
There are about 50 chimps here, all looked after by a Frenchwoman who has lived in the Congo for 20 years. 2) _________________. Then, in 1991, the Congo authorities let her establish the sanctuary as a government reserve. She is dedicated to caring for the chimps, and the family electronics business in Pointe Noire pays for their upkeep.
“When I first came here in 1963, I didn’t find much to interest me”, she says. 3)_____________ I had to do something.”
Many of the chimps come from animal markets, where they are chained together and fed on scraps. They arrive in poor physical and psychological condition. “We get them physically back on their feet in a few days,” says Jamart, “but their greatest need is for affection. We give them a lot of physical contact. I’m like a mother to them.”
Most of the chimps live on three mangrove islands in the lagoon. 4) ________. For this reason Jamart and her six helpers bring supplies in by boat. Their most important source of nourishment is a baby food with milk, cereals and vitamins. Jamart and her helpers also help the younger chimps hunt for their own food. “We spend hours together in the jungle searching for fruit and edible roots. 5) _______________ . They are intelligent, and their instincts help them find food in places I’d never think of.”
A. “But then one day I went to the zoo in Pointe Noire and I saw these poor chimps which were being kept in terrible conditions.
B. There they will be able to gather all their own food and they will be checked regularly by sanctuary staff.
C. This chimpanzee is being raised by humans because other humans killed his parents.
D. There was trouble when some chimps escaped, but enclosures have solved that problem.
E. At first Aliette Jamart ran her orphanage from her home in Pointe Noire, but she ran out of space.
F. I try to teach them to locate the best things to eat, but I also learn a lot from them.
G. Although most of them know how to get fruit and berries for themselves, there just isn’t enough food on the islands.

Задание № 8 Данное задание представляет собой текст, состоящий из 4 абзацев. После прочтения каждого из абзацев студенту необходимо выбрать к нему заголовок из 6 предложенных (А-F). Два из шести предложенных заголовков не должны быть использованы.
The Creatures that Time Forgot
A. Changing eating habits for survival
B. Surviving unchanged
C. Exceptions to extinction
D. Hiding from hunters
E. The threats people pose
F. Saving ancient lives with science
N 1___________
The process of evolution has been very hard on some creatures.
Just think of the dinosaurs. Along with many other species, they were unable to adapt to the changing environment and, as a result, died out. But sometimes members of a species have managed to hide away and live on. Meat-eating sponges, coelacanths and the white salamander are three such creatures.
N 2 ___________
The remarkable thing about these three creatures is that they have not changed for millions of years. They have remained hidden away in some of the darkest underwater places on earth. These are caves which, until now, have not been properly explored; they lack light and food and the creatures that live in them have had to struggle to survive.
N 3 ___________
The most exotic of these creatures lives deep in an underwater cave in Europe. It is the white salamander, which is a member of a species 350 million years old – older than the dinosaurs. Over the last 20 million years, it has been driven to isolated places in order to escape being hunted. The underwater cave was the ideal place. In fact the salamander managed to hide so successfully that the first sighting wasn’t reported until 1689.
N 4___________
The salamander is usually a pale, milky colour and it is almost blind. It can live for up to 100 years, and can apparently live for decades without food. The salamander is under threat, though, as a result of pollution in underground rivers. Scientists have had problems trying to raise salamanders, so they have created a laboratory in underwater caves in order to do this.

The Creatures that Time Forgot
A. A completely new species
B. A surprising reappearance
C. Changing eating habits for survival
D. The threats people pose
E. Exceptions to extinction
F. Hiding from hunters
N 1___________
The most exotic of these creatures lives deep in an underwater cave in Europe. It is the white salamander, which is a member of a species 350 million years old – older than the dinosaurs. Over the last 20 million years, it has been driven to isolated places in order to escape being hunted. The underwater cave was the ideal place. In fact the salamander managed to hide so successfully that the first sighting wasn’t reported until 1689.
N 2 ___________
In equally dark caves under the sea, there has been an even more surprising discovery: a sponge that eats meat. It was discovered in a cave that was flooded 7,000 years ago. The water is cold and still and has no nutrition. Faced with this lack of food that other sponges take from the water, this species started catching tiny sea animals like shrimps and prawns and eating them. This was the only way this strange creature could survive.
N 3 ___________
The most famous of all these creatures, however, is the coelacanth.
This ancient fish has lived in the sea for more than 300 million years. Until 1938, scientists thought it had died out a long time before. Then one was caught in the Indian Ocean. This fish has fins which resemble legs, and these have not changed for millions of years. A recent study showed that, unlike other fish, it lives and breeds in caves and the only time it ventures out is for food.
N 4___________
Because of fishing and tourism, the coelacanth is in great danger of dying out. Experts say there are only about 200 of them left. It seems that the isolation which protected these ancient creatures for millions of years is no more. Humans are, of course, the biggest threat to them, and now that their secret places have been discovered, they have nowhere left to go.
