Would I please come and do something about it?I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I
18、took my gun, maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephants doings.It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escap
19、ed. Its owner, had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebodys bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over fruitstalls.I came round the hut an
20、d saw a mans dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mu
21、d, the peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent.As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired.

24、the author felt _ when he shot the elephant.A. excited B. sadC. frightened D. happyBFor many years, I had a belief that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.Many weightconscious people also mistakenly be
25、lieve that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved， being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the longawaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we fi
26、nd ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, selfworth, and, of course, love.It took me a long while t
27、o realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if its happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our
28、 body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves.

32、allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork at an early ageAnd going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. Its very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day,
33、 even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playingAnother problem is of course money, In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomenIf this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the
34、time and the money to support their childs development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etcAll can be expensiveMany parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early ageSome doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by tr
35、aining before they are properly developedProfessional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports personIt is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after man

When they go into action, you may not even see a fire truck.The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wildn
39、ess areas. But dont think youll only find them in their home state California. Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency, the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.But these firefighters dont work the same way as firefighters in a big city. They work in areas where there are a large number of
40、trees, bushes, and grass. They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris残骸. They sometimes use water, but they often fight fire with fire!They do that by lighting what are called “backfires, which are small, controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of large wildfires. Th
41、at way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go, because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke.The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work. For example, they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires. But the water is limited, and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything. Physical fitness is very important. They have to be in great physical shape to han
