 PART II READING 30 points

Read the following passage and answer the questions

that follow. Refer to the text to check your answers
when appropriate.

Koko
Did you know that humans aren't the only species that
use language? Bees communicate by dancing. Whales
talk to each other by singing. And some apes talk to
humans by using American Sign Language.

Meet Koko: a female gorilla born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign
language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in
1972, when Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she
moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the
campus until 1976. That's when she began living full-time with Patterson's group, the Gorilla
Foundation. Patterson and Koko's relationship has blossomed ever since.

Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language. She says that Koko knows over 1,000 words,
and that Koko makes up new words. For example, Koko didn't know the sign for ring, so she signed
the words finger and bracelet. Dr. Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of
language.

Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the
meaning of what they are doing. Skeptics say that these apes are just performing complex tricks. For
example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple. They
argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she
makes the right motion, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The debate is
unresolved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape.

Sign language isn't the only unusual thing about Koko. She's also been a pet-owner. In 1983, at the
age of 12, researchers said that Koko asked for a cat for Christmas. They gave Koko a stuffed cat. Koko
was not happy. She did not play with it, and she continued to sign sad. So for her birthday in 1984,
they let her pick a cat out of an abandoned liter. Koko picked a gray cat and named him "All Ball." Dr.
Patterson said that Koko loved and nurtured All Ball as though he were a baby gorilla. Sadly, All Ball
got out of Koko's cage and was hit by a car. Patterson reported that Koko signed "Bad, sad, bad" and
"Frown, cry, frown, sad" when she broke the news to her.

It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some
critics believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They believe that apes should be left in the most
natural state possible. Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When asked if her findings
could be duplicated by another group of scientists, she said, "We don't think that it would be ethical
to do again." She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances.
Nonetheless, Koko lives in her foundation today.

As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve
in Maui, but they are having trouble securing the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to
spare, Koko's going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably
doesn't mind that. If she moved to Hawaii, she'd have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed,
and she's got like 50 thousand "likes." Some may deny that she knows sign language, but nobody says
that she doesn't know social networking.

Inner Beauty

Inner beauty is the set of social skills that facilitates the establishment of more or less stable personal
bonds. Most have different concepts of inner beauty, but unlike physical beauty that changes
according to countries or cultures, almost all of us lead to the same concept of inner beauty It is true
that most people are carried away by physical beauty, being that it is not something very important
and being harmful in some cases, the best thing would be that before letting ourselves be carried
away by first impressions, we get to know the people of our environment .

the best thing to beautify our inner beauty is with values, education and sincerity. Most of the people
we would like to surround ourselves with helpful people, attentive, sincere, humble and kind people.

According to researchers, 73% of people are carried away by physical beauty and only and only 27%
care how the person really is, and that is because in this society full of labels and prejudices, people
care more about how they are See how it really is that leaves us a lot to think about. How influential
are we? to forget the most important.
