The poachers-illegal hunters-had finally found a buyer for their stolen goods.A meeting was 3 6 ,and when the buyer asked to see the goods, they brought out a small duffel bag and un-zippedh.Inside was a 37  one-year-old baby gorilla.The poachers had likely killed the little female's parents and  3 8  her in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Africa.Then they took her across the border into Rwanda,  39  to sell her as a pet.
But the buyer didn't bring  40   ;he brought the police.The Rwandan authorities    41 the young gorilla to the nearby headquarters of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project.The vets(兽医)there realized that she had not been given 42 food or water, but they were much more worried about something else."Baby gorillas simply don't  43  without their mother's constant body contact," says vet Chris Whittier.If they didn't quickly establish a  44  relationship with the baby gorilla, which her caretakers named Dunia, she  45  not survive.
Dunia needed contact, but she resisted  46  at first, shying away from people who reached  for her.Three caretakers worked in shifts, taking  47  holding her, carrying her around on their backs, and cradling her while she slept.48 she became stronger,a month after she was res-cued her  49   revealed the psychological stress she carried inside-much of her hair fell out. That was a delayed  50  to the combined traumatic experiences of losing her parents and being kept-with a poor diet-by the poachers.
After six months ofloving care that included around-the-clock attention,a good diet, and a  5 1    home at the project's headquarters, Dunia was looking and acting like a  52  ,happy young gorilla should. "Dunia is sort of a shy show-off," says Whittier. "Her  53  lsgrowing and she's becoming more independent, but when she is  54  ,the first thing she does is run back to her  55 ,just like she would to her mother."

“All men are created equal” is one idea that nearly every American would agree upon. 36 they sometimes betray the idea in their daily lives, they have a deep faith 37 in some fundamental way no one is born superior to anyone else.
In the early years of American history, because titles of nobility(贵族) were forbidden, no 38 class system developed in the United States. Firmly believing that being born into a lower class would not 39 them from success and they would have a better chance in America, thousands of immigrants 40 to leave the European societies, where their 41 in life was determined 42 by the social class into which they were born. It was because the dreams of many of there immigrants were 43 in their new country, though there might be 44 in some situations, that Americans came to believe in equality of opportunity.
Americans do not mean that everyone should be 45 equal when they say they believe in equality of opportunity. 46 , they do mean that each person should have an equal chance for success. Abraham Lincoln once said, “We wish to 47 the humblest(最微贱的) man an equal chance to get rich with everybody else. When one starts poor, free society is 48 that he knows he can 49 his condition.”
However, competition is the price to be 50 for his equality of opportunity. Americans match their energy and intelligence against that of others in a competitive contest for success, because they believe competition 51 the best in any person. Indeed, the pressure of competition causes an American to be 52 , but it also places a constant emotional stress on him. In fact, in a society that gives so much 53 to those “winners”, 54 does not compete successfully for whatever reason never 55 into it as well as those who do.
