问题     One of the major differences between man and his closest living relative is, of course, that the chimpanzee has not developed the power of speech.

In attack chimpanzee screams and this may alert his mother or a friend, either of【C4】______may hurry to his aid.

Probably a chimpanzee can recognize the calls of most of his acquaintances.
    While chimpanzee calls【C8】______serve to convey basic information about some situations and individuals, they cannot for the most part be compared【C9】______a spoken language. Man by means of words can communicate abstract ideas, he can benefit from the experiences of others 【C10】______having to be present at the time, he can make intelligent cooperative plans. [br] 【C2】
