3．The baby elephant Ishanga was lying in the bushes，scared，starving，and struggling to breathe．Until just a few days before，she had been with her mother，walking through the sweeping grasslands of Tsavo National Park in the African country of Kenya．
The baby's mother was killed，most likely by a poacher．On Wednesday，November 17，2010，an anti-poaching team was removing the deadly wire traps that poachers set throughout the park．Luckily，a member of the team spotted the baby and rushed to help her．
Suddenly，a lion sprang from the bushes and clamped its mouth around her neck．One person managed to pull out his gun and fire shots in the air．The shocked lion released the baby and backed away．
Now the weakened baby had a grave wound on her neck．About 300miles north of Tsavo is a place that helps baby elephants．Over the years，the orphanage（孤儿院）has raised 130elephants and successfully released them back into the wild．
After a tense wait and a plane ride，the baby's rescuers made it to the orphanage．The medical staff worked frantically to treat her wound．She was scared and wild．She screamed，and wouldn't let any humans get near her，refusing to eat or drink．
After two hours of intense medical care，Ishanga awoke and slowly struggled to her feet．Two keepers and a veterinarian had been with her all night．They were relieved that she seemed to be recovering．
The next day，though Ishanga remained weak，her keepers introduced her to some of the other 14young elephants living at the orphanage．The keepers stood back as the other elephants extended their trunk in friendly greetings．The older elephants led Ishanga around，giving her a tour of her new home．
Over the past year，Ishanga's wounds have healed．She has made many friends．It'll be up to Ishanga to decide when she's ready to leave the orphanage．Returning to the wild is a long process that can take more than 10years．For now，she is in no rush to leave this extraordinary community of elephants and humans．Ishanga has a long，happy life ahead of her．

A．someone who hunts illegally        
B．someone who protects wild animals
C．someone who is an elephant keeper

13．Some people seem easy to understand：their character appears obvious on first meeting．Appearances，however，can be deceptive．For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen．I don't know very much about them．I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right．I think they must have small insight or great vanity．For my own part I find that the longer I know people，the more they puzzle me．
I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died．He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years．Once he gave me a great surprise．Unless I had heard the story from his own lips，I'd never have velieved that he was capable of such an action．He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position．He didn't talk much，but what he said was sensible．Tou couldn't imagine he'd possible raise his voice in anger．Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows．He'd tell with point a good and spicy story，and in his youth he'd been something of an athete．He was a rich man and he'd made every penny himself．I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak； he arounsed your instinets（本能）of protection．You felt he couldn't bear to hurt a fly．
    One afternoon Burton told me a"funny"story in a quiet，dry humour：
"There was a namesake（同名人）of mine，who was the best bridge player I ever met．He  seemed to  have a fantastic instinct about the cards．I used to play with him a lot．"
"He was handsome in a way with curly hair and pink-and-white cleeks．Women thought a lot of him．There was no harm in him，he was only wild．Pf course he drank too much．He won a good deal of my money by card-playing．"
"One day he came to me when he went broke．He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job．I asked him how old he was．
"'Thirty-five'，he said．"
"'And what have you been doing hitherto？'I asked him．
"'Well，nothing very much，'he said．
"'I'm afraid I can't do anything for you just yet，'I said．'Come back and see me in another thirty-five years，and I'll see what I can do．'
"He didn't move．He went rather pale．He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time．He hadn't been willing to stick to bridge，he'd been playing poker，and he'd got trimmed．He hadn't a penny．He'd pawned everything he had．He couldn't pay his hotel bill and they wouldn't give him any more credit．He was down and out．If he couldn't get something to do he'd have to commit suicide．
"I looked at him for a bit．I could see now that he was all to pieces．He'd been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty．The girls wouldn't have thought so much of him if they'd seen him then．
"I got some glimmering of what he was driving at．I've known too many men who were little tin gods at their university．
"Suddenly I had an idea．"Pausing in his story，Burton turned to me．"When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon（灯塔）and landed at the river of Tarumi．It's rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon．Well，I told my young fellow about it and I said that if he'd do it I'd give him a job．
"I could see he was rather taken aback．He was not in good condition for sports．He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded．"
"I told him I'd drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him．
"Done，"he said．
"I wished him good luck and he left me．I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to the creek at Tarumi at half past twelve．But I needn't have hurried；he never turned up．
"Did he funk it at the last moment？"I asked．
"No，he didn't funk it．He started all right．But of course he'd ruined his constitution by drink．The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage．We didn't get the body for about three days
I didn't say anything for a moment or two．I was a trifle shocked．Then I asked．
"When you made him that offer of a job，did you know he'd be drowned？'
    He looked at me with his kind blue eyes，smiling．"Well，I hadn't got a vacancy in my office at the moment．"

"Now，"suggested the policeman，when they got to the chemist's，"let's go in this direction．It leads to the main road，where we shall probably find your restaurant．"

Mrs．Brown said，"Thanks very much．I can't understand how I went wrong．"
