They don’t just bury themselves．Here is one belief that says an elephant gets sick or old, it instinctively knows death is near．It leaves the herd．It goes off to a secret graveyard．The place is known only to elephants, and perhaps other animals, but not to humans．Obviously, such a graveyard would be filled with ivory tusks．These were once very valuable．The objective of explorers was to find this “gold” mine．This graveyard belief may be a truth or a myth．But it is romantic．It would be nice if it were true． (1) An elephant can usually go ________． [　　] A． around 6 miles an hour B． around 25 miles an hour C． no more than 6 miles an hour D． at a speed of 25 miles an hour (2) The elephants’ favorite food ________． [　　] A． are grass, leaves, small branches and bark B． are tender leaves on the top of trees C． are berries, mangoes, coconuts, corn, and sugar cane D． is nothing but salt (3) From the passage we can conclude ________． [　　] A． there must be graveyards of elephants in some unknown places B． graveyards don’t exist at all C． it is impossible there are graveyards of elephants D． whether there are graveyards of elephants still depends
