New world primates The group includes, among others, the spider monkey and the night monkey. New world primates are usually small and live in trees
Old world

Suggested answers to Ex 2 on Page 126
Higher primates, such as chimpanzees, are genetically very similar to human beings. They walk like us (upright) and have hands and feet that can grasp. Chimpanzees and other higher primates also behave in “human” ways: they live in groups, they communicate with each other, and they use tools to find and eat food. However, these similarities do not mean that higher primates necessarily think like humans or are able to do what humans do, such as the solve problems and use human language. Some primates, such as chimpanzees, also have opposable toes, but human beings don’t.

Nov. 12, 2004 Friday Sunny
This evening I went to the KTV with some of my good friends.
This was the first time that I had been to a KTV and at first I didn’t want to go. I was ( had been ) in a bad mood the whole afternoon because I didn’t do well in the math exam. At the KTV, everybody sang their favorite songs very happily except me – I was only one of the audience. I dared not have a try because I was afraid that I couldn’t sing well. Encouraged by my classmates, I picked up the microphone and sang an English song entitled “I believe I can fly”.
I have become cheerful now and above all I’ve regained my self-confidence. I believe that the worst enemy in one’s life is oneself. I shouldn’t lose heart just because of one or two failures because I still have chances to try.
