Read the passage and answer the following questions (10)

A chimpanzee is one of the great apes and the closest in intelligence to man. Scientists have
examined his mental capabilities and sent him into space before man. Chimpanzees need little
description. Being apes and not monkeys, they do not have a tail. Their arms are longer than
their legs and they are normally placed on all fours. They may also walk upright with their toes
pointed out. When erect, they are 3 to 5 feet tall. The hair is long and coarse, black except for a
white patch near the rump. The face, ears, hands, and feet are bare and, except for the black
face, the flesh is colored.
Chimpanzees show great concern for others. When chimpanzees meet after being separated,
they greet each other in a very human way by touching or even shaking hands. Chimpanzees
have amazing social discipline. When a dominant male arrives, the rest of the chimpanzees
rush to pay their respects. The dominant male is not allowed to take food from his inferiors.
Group members also spend a considerable amount of time grooming each other and
themselves. Mothers check their babies’ fur for foreign particles, dirt, and ticks, and help each
other when they get hurt.
Chimpanzees are the best tool users besides man. Sticks 2 to 3 feet long are picked up from the
ground and pushed into the nests, then removed and licked for honey or insects. The stones
are nuts or as projectiles to keep humans and baboons away from their food. Chimpanzees are
not only tool makers, but also tool makers. They make their own sticks by plucking the leaves
off a twig or ripping them to pieces. Chimpanzees learn all of this by watching how older
chimpanzees make and use them. So, man is not easy to make tools, he is simply better than
his relatives.
