22、Jane Goodall was born in England in 1934. As a child, she liked to learn about animals and watch how they behaved, and dreamed of working with wild animals.
At 11, she decided that she wanted to go to Africa to live with and write about animals. But this was not the kind of thing young women growing up in the 1940s usually did. In 1957, Jane Goodall traveled to Africa. She soon met the well-known scientist Louis Leakey and began working for him as an assistant. Doctor Leakey saw that Jane had a lot of energy and loved animals. He asked her if she wanted to study the chimpanzees living by a lake in Tanzania. Certainly she agreed to take the job.
Observing chimps was not easy work. She learned to watch them from far away using binoculars. Over time, she slowly gained their trust. She gave the chimps human names such as David, Flo and Fifi. This unusual method upset many scientists. Most researchers would have identified the animals using numbers instead of names. But Jane defended naming them. She said that the chimpanzees had emotions, minds and different personalities, with complex family and social relationships. She observed they were meat eaters and skilled hunters. Later, she made an even more surprising discovery. She saw chimps making and using tools to help them trap insects. Her reports also upset many old beliefs. When she wrote to Louis Leakey to tell him about her discovery, he responded by saying: “Now we must redefine ‘tool’, redefine ‘man’, or accept chimpanzees as human.”
Jane Goodall spent many years studying chimps and reported chimp behavior that no one else had ever seen before. She has written many books for adults and children about wild chimpanzees. However, the destruction of the chimp’s natural environment led Jane Goodall to give her full attention to protection efforts. She spends about 300 days out of the year traveling around the world to discuss her many projects and goals. And Jane Goodall’s most recent book is called Hope for Animals and Their World.

23、Massimo Bottura is a widely celebrated cook. A restaurant he opened 27 years ago in Italy has twice been named the best in the world. Today, Bottura’s cooking empire spreads from Dubai, in the Middle East, to Beverly Hills, California.
At Refettorio Ambrosiano, the menu changes daily, depending on what comes with the morning’s delivery. By dinner, these supermarket wastes have been transformed (转化). The 100 or so diner — refugees (难民), the homeless, and the unemployed — enjoy the meal with obvious pleasure. Meals of charge for people in need. Bottura’s Refettorios are not restaurants — they’re actually soup kitchens (施食处). But Bottura would not call them that. He thinks of them as places that shine a light on the dignity of their guests while focusing attention on the food-waste problem.

Cooks at Bottura’s restaurants learn his approach to cooking. But they also learn about his belief in making a difference in people’s lives. “Everybody has the ability to contribute to positive change. It starts with all of us, in our own kitchens,” Bottura says. It starts by looking at an old carrot or a broken piece of bread and catching a shine of gold.
“The are 8 billion people on Earth. We produce enough food for 12 billion people,” Massimo Bottura says. “Every year, more than a billion tons of food ends up wasted.
