3. Read the text and answer the questions. Curious, intelligent, and sociable, chimpanzees fascinate humans both in zoos and in their natural habitat. They are the animal most similar to human beings. Great Apes—The Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
The common chimpanzee, or chimp, is a species of ape. It has a strong body with long arms, short legs, and long, black hair. It doesn’t have a tail. Chimpanzees live in the rain forests and wet savannas of West and Central Africa. They spend a lot of time on the ground, but usually eat and sleep in trees.
Chimpanzees live in communities with 10 to over 100 individuals. Chimpanzees can climb trees and use tools. They also have a complex system of sounds to communicate with each other. Every morning, chimpanzees look for food. They start early and eat fruit, leaves, and flowers. Their diet consists of 80 different plants. Unfortunately, the future of the chimpanzee is uncertain. Deforestation and medical research are reducing their population. Our close animal relatives need our protection. WWW.OUTTOAFRICA .NL/ANIMALS/ENGCHIMPANZEE.HTML

Burke and Wills left Melbourne on August 20, 1860, with a group of people and with horses and camels packed with supplies. They traveled north to the Gulf of Carpentaria and reached the mouth of Flinders River on February 9, 1861. They didn’t get to the ocean because of the terrain. So they decided to return south because they didn’t have enough supplies. They killed and ate their camels. Aborigines helped them with food and water, but they didn’t survive in the desert.

He departed on his first trip from Spain on August 3, 1492, and landed on an island called Guanahani. He changed its name to San Salvador and incorrectly identified the island as India. On his second trip in 1493, he established a base on the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and spotted and named the island of Dominica. In 1498, he explored farther south to Trinidad and Venezuela. Finally, in 1504, Columbus sailed to Honduras, Panama, and Jamaica. He died in Valladolid in 1506, still believing his discoveries were on the east coast of Asia.
