She began reading every book about animals and Africa she could find. 　　Years later， a friend told her about a man named Louis Leakey注1， who was busy searching for evidence of early man in Kenya. Jane arranged an interview with Leakey. Impressed by her knowledge of animals， he hired Goodall. 　　Goodall has spent over 40 years studying the chimpanzees[黑猩猩].

Her work has been important in emphasizing[强调] the need for conservation[保护] to millions of people. 　　注1：路易斯?利基（1903- 1972），英国考古学家和人类学家，其研究对人类演化理论有重大影响。 　　七岁的珍?古道尔在读过儿童故事书《杜立德医生》（该书讲述了一位医生去非洲学习和动物对话的故事）之后便决定有朝一日一定要到非洲去。她开始阅读她能找到的每一本关于动物和非洲的书。 　　多年以后，一个朋友告诉她，一个名叫路易斯?利基的人正在肯尼亚寻找早期人类的证据。于是，珍与利基约定了一次面谈。她对动物的知识给利基留下了深刻的印象，因此她被利基聘用了。 　　古道尔对黑猩猩的研究长达四十多年。一直以来，她都以了解和保护黑猩猩作为目标。在向千千万万人强调保护黑猩猩的必要性方面，她的工作起到了重要作用。 　　Valentina Tereshkova （Soviet Union， 1937-）瓦莲京娜?捷列什科娃（前苏联，1937―）Occupation： Cosmonaut[宇航员] 　　Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space.
