Those remarkable pictures of
Jambo the gorilla tenderly stroking
and then standing guard over uncon-
scious six year old Levan Merritt
moved everyone who saw them---
and surprised most people , too. (1)



The gorilla's reputation as a killer
is one that dies hard. (2)


He discovered that the child had
something on its back---a shirt. To
Jambo that was certainly different
and puzzling. (5)


But neither of these things alarmed
him. When the boy came round and
began to cry, Jambo did no more than
to move away, taking his family with
him. (6)


Jambo did not behave like that. That
is not only an indication of his true
nature as a gorilla. It is also a tribute
to the skill and understanding with
which Jersey Zoo looks after its
gorillas and has given them, as far as
possible, all they need to grow into a
contented and well adjusted family. (8)

The dominant male allowed young
babies to crawl over him and pull
his ears with the tolerant affection
of a human grandfather spoiling his
adored grandchildren. (13)

Q) Complete the following statements.

a. The shirt was puzzling to the gorilla because ...................... (5)
a child looked him like his own offspring but he was not familiar with shirt.

b. The tribute is to the skill ................................. (8)
of the Jersey Zoo authorities and keepers who look after gorillas and understand them by providing what they need.

d. The gorillas could think that the ............. were a possible source of danger.

Hi Ibn,

Q2: OK
Q3: OK
Q4: OK
Q5: both OK
Q6: OK, but some grammar/punctuation mistakes:

The writer thinks that gorillas are gentle giants, unfortunately misunderstood by humans. His thinking is based on the following facts:

1) Gorillas, unlike other beasts, are entirely vegetarian and live in groups or families; they behave affectionately to each other.

2) Gorillas don't attack until they feel threatened by humans or other animals. The writer tells his own experience of how a mother gorilla didn't mind her baby's climbing all over her.

3) Films usually present these giants as offensive monsters, but it is against the true nature of gorillas, as Jumbo didn't harm a child but stroked the boy gently.

4) The writer thinks that the reason for gorillas' occasional offensiveness is solitary confinement. They are social animals and can't live alone. They need a contented family to live a normal life. That's why sometimes those gorillas who live alone turn into neurotics and attack their keepers.

Q7 (5?): Gorillas' behaviour towards people is very misunderstood. Because of the gorilla's size and strength, people think of them as monsters and killers. To make matters worse, film makers represent them as violent and dangerous creatures.
