阅读理解      The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The
elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for
safety.That didn"t stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
Parbati Barua"s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride
an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant
roundup--how to catch wild elephants.
     Parbati hasn"t always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.
     But Parbati doesn"t catch elephants just for fun."My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has
been doing for many years.Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal
hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to
guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
     The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will
spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant."Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans." she said, as she
climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to ________.A. get long lasting excitement
B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle
D. make the angry elephants tame2. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,________.A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers3. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because ________.A. they are caught and sent for heavy work
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them4. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India ________.A. people easily fall victim to elephants" attacks
B. the manelephant relationship is getting worse
C. elephant tamers are in short supply
D. dogs are as powerful as elephants

完形填空
     When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific
event that was unusual for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the homeless
out in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter not far from the Bay Bridge.
     I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to__1__. She wanted to help, __2__she
made four or five dozen chocolate chip cookies for me to__3__and hand out to people. When getting to
the homeless shelter__4__passed out the remaining meals.__5__, I began making sandwiches and__6__
them with the crowd. I had the containers with my__7__cookies in them and began to__8__, offering them
to anyone near me. I__9__an old gentleman and said, "Sir, would you like a cookie? " He stopped and
turned around, __10__and said, "What did you say? Did you call me sir? " I told him I__11__, and his
eyes__12__a little bit and he said, "No one has__13__called me sir." So he__14__.
     It struck me.
     I explained I had been raised that__15__color and social status, everyone deserved respect.It__16__
me to think that just because he was homeless, no one__17__him the honor. It broke my heart, and I
__18__I just didn"t understand__19__no one ever called him sir? I had never thought that anyone was
below me because I wasn"t raised that way. Every__20__person deserves to be treated with dignity.
Years later, I still carry that memory and the lessons it taught me. Sometimes, what we take for granted
can really make a difference in someone"s life.
     How have you made a difference to others? How have others made a difference to you?
