Part A Reading aloud
At the heart of being human is our culture, and something that goes hand in hand with human culture is our ability to co-operate. But co-operation in the chimp world is a fragile thing. Chimps will co-operate, but only for selfish ends. Human children did something that no other ape will do. In that small act of sharing, they reveal something that really does lie at the heart of what it is to be human. It’s a tiny but profound difference between us and the other apes, and it’s a way of thinking that underpins our ability to co-operate and create human culture. (70”)

Tom Changed His Mind
It was Mother’s Day. Tom stopped his car outside a flower shop. He wanted to order some beautiful flowers and ask the shop to deliver them to his mother. When he was about to enter the shop, he saw a little girl crying on the roadside. Tom walked to her and asked what happened. The girl told him that she wanted to buy a rose for her mother, but she had no money. Hearing this, Tom took the girl’s hand, and entered the flower shop. He ordered the flowers for his mother, and bought a beautiful rose for the girl. Then he offered to drive the girl home. But the girl said that she was not going home. She was going to the bus station. Her mother worked in another town. She must go to her todaywith the rose. Tom was touched. He changed his mind. After driving the girl to the bus station, he returned to the shop, canceled the delivery service and bought a larger bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates. After Tom left the shop, he drove all the way to his mother’s place. He would give the flowers to his mother in person.
