One day, Miss Mary asked the class to think of a story with a moral (寓意).

Little Suzy put up her hand. “My dad owns a farm. Every Sunday, we put chicken eggs in our truck and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump (凸块) and all the eggs flew out of our basket and onto the road.”

When the teacher asked for the moral of the story, Suzy replied, “________.”

Little Lucy went next. “My dad owns a farm, too. Every weekend, we take our chicken eggs and put them in our incubator (孵化器). But last weekend, only eight of our 12 eggs hatched (孵出小鸡).”

Next up was little Johnny. “My uncle Ted was drunk one day and he told me a story. He fought in a war many years ago and his plane was shot down over an enemy area. He jumped out of the plane with only a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a sword (剑).

On the way down, he drank the bottle of whiskey. Then, he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy soldiers. He shot 70 of them with his machine gun, but then he ran out of bullets (子弹)! So he pulled out his sword and killed 20 more. Then the sword broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands.”

The teacher and other students looked shocked (震惊). Miss Mary asked what the moral of this story was.

Elephants are the largest land animals alive today. African elephants live in family groups called herds (群). All of the elephants in the herd take care of each other. The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant. She is the matriarch (族长). A herd may have as few as eight or as many as 100 elephants. The other elephants follow (跟随) the matriarch because she knows how to keep them safe from coming danger.

Elephants learn by watching and copying other elephants, and also learn from life. Baby elephants stay with their mothers until they are fully grown at about ten years old. Elephants are smart animals with long memories (记忆力). In the dry season, a matriarch can remember where water was found in the past. The herd will follow her there. She can also remember the safest place for baby elephants to cross a fast-moving river.

Other animals don’t usually attack (攻击) elephants. However, a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby. If this happens, the adult (成年的) elephants circle around the baby elephants. The adults make louder sounds and hit the ground with their trunks (象鼻). The matriarch puts herself between the lion and the herd. She beats her ears out to make herself look even larger. Then she leads her herd and attacks the enemy in a big cloud of dust (灰尘).

1.What do you know about the elephant herd?

A.There are not any father elephants in a herd.

B.A herd may have eight to 100 elephants.

C.Only the matriarch of the herd looks after baby elephants.
