　　Part IV Reading Comprehension

　　Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:

　　The little boy who changed the public image of gorillas faced the cameras today for the first time since his accident and declared “I still like zoos, but not gorillas. I like monkeys.”

　　Leaven Merritt, five, fell into the gorilla pit at Jersey Zoo on the first day of a family holiday last month and his parents held their breath as the seven-foot tall 115-kilometer Jambo went up to him.

　　The gentle giant bent over and touched the little boy nicely and set his clothing to keep him warm. Leaven was flown to Southampton Hospital with a fractured skull (粉碎性头骨), a black eye and a broken arm.

　　His father, Steve, a thirty-four-year-old heating engineer, said, “We want to take him back to the zoo so that he doesn’t lose his love for animals.” His mother, Pauline, twenty-eight, said, “He has no more had dreams about the gorilla standing over him. He has told the doctors he fell in with the monkeys and he thinks he remembers a bit about, but does not talk about it.”

　　Leaven, who has a cat called Kitkins and a hamster(老鼠) called Tommy, said, “I don’t remember falling or going to the zoo. The gorilla’s name is Jambo, but I am not going to visit him again.” And he shook his head when asked if he knew the gorilla had been nice to him. Leaven, surrounded by good-will cards and presents, said, “I’m better now. Thank you.”
