福师《高级英语(一)》第四课FAQ
A Most Forgiving Ape (Part One)
by Alan Moorehead
Overview:
  A Most Forgiving Ape is mainly a narration of how the author managed to closely observe the gorilla in its wild state in Central Africa.
  Purpose: not to entertain the readers with description, but to warn the world that the gorilla, so lovely an animal, is facing the danger of extinction, unless some effective measures are taken.
  The title itself is arresting, it promptly arouses the reader's interest, for it sharply contrasts with the stereotyped image of the ape.
Description of the mountains in which the gorilla live.A brief account of the gorilla in various aspects:harming looking, forgiving, with human qualities, being butchered by tribesmen etc.
  effective measures must be taken to protect this rare and lovely animal. ?
