The Elephant Herd
The Elephant is lovely and it is very big. It has two big ears and a long nose. It has four strong legs and it can
help people do many things, such as watering the flowers with its nose and carrying heavy things and so on.
The elephant is another animal that lives in groups. An elephant herd (群) usually has from twenty to forty
members. The elephants in the herd usually depend on one another for help when they are in trouble.
The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female (雌性的). She travels at the head of the herd and
the other females and their young children follow her. The male elephants follow last. When the danger comes, the
male elephants form a circle (圈) around the weaker animals and protect them. The members of the herd are loyal
(忠诚的) to one another. A sick elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops
traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is hurt, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their
bodies. A member of the herd may be caught in a trap (陷阱). Then the others try to help it. An elephant herd is just
like a family of our people.
Elephants love the young in the group and give them special care and love. For example, they help young
animals stay afloat (漂浮着) when the herd crosses a river. They work together to help a child get to the safety
when it goes to a dangerous place. The way elephants love and care the youngsters is like ours.
When a female elephant gives birth to her young baby, she will go out of the herd and she usually leaves the
herd for a short time. However, she takes another female along to act as “aunt”. The aunt stands beside and helps
the mother with her new-born baby. In this way, the whole herd protects its newest member.
That’s the elephant herd. Do you like it?

11. The writer probably agrees _________.
A. sick elephants are usually left behind to die

many old and sick Asian elephants. Our task was 24 them.

using their trunks (象鼻). 26 , I felt very nervous. Would the elephants hurt me? But it turned out that the
elephants were very docile (温顺的). They took food from my hand gently（温柔地）. How lovely they were! One
of the elephants took food only from me. I guess it probably liked me 27 than others.
After lunch, it was 28 for the elephants to take a bath. Three volunteers needed to work 29 to
bathe an elephant. One stood in the middle to hold the hose (水龙带), and the other two brushed the two sides of
the animal. It 30 that the elephants enjoyed their baths very much.
