【推荐3】If someone says to you, "give me five", don't give five yuan to him! It will make others laugh! The person isn't asking for your money, but your fingers.
In the U.S.A., "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a good gesture (手势). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the slapping (拍打) of each other's right hands together. People do it when something happy happens. For example, if a student does well in exams or gets No. 1 in his school sports meeting, he will give high fives to his friends to celebrate.
Who did this gesture first? Why did he do that? It may come from the old Roman (古罗马的) gesture of raising(举起) the right arm for the emperor (皇帝). This showed that the person raising his arm had nothing in his hand and he couldn't hurt the emperor.

Chimpanzees are not only social animals living in communities and working together, but they are smart in many different ways. For over 40 years, people have been studying chimps both in the wild and in captivity (圈养). One thing they have learned is that chimpanzees and their natural habitats—or where they live in the wild-need to be protected.
In 1960, a researcher named Jane Goodall began to live with and study wild chimpanzees in Africa. She learned that they are highly intelligent animals that communicate with gestures and physical contact. They make tools to find food, they possess innate (天生的) decision-making skills, and they make choices about which groups to join and what foods to eat. Chimps cooperate to hunt and often share the food they have caught. In captivity, where they live in zoos and science centers, they can be taught American Sign Language so that they can communicate with their hands. There have even been experiments which show that a few chimpanzees have learned to use computers and to play games! Some scientists argue that chimpanzees can show emotions such as happiness or sadness.
Although chimpanzees are impressive and intelligent animals, their safety is in danger every day. In the wild they can be found in 21 different African countries, living in forests. Chimpanzees are able to adapt (适应) to changes in their environment. They can move to a new place, make new nests, and find new foods. Yet people are destroying their natural habitats. By cutting down trees for firewood and using the space to build houses, humans leave chimpanzees with smaller areas to live in.
Chimpanzees are in danger, and all eyes should be on them. Fortunately many organizations and researchers have started to take steps to protect them. Everyone should be aware of their work and it is important to help these amazing animals.
