【题目】【2013年江苏盐城】Every year many young people leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program.

Now, hundreds of them are homeless. They don’t have owners to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don’t have enough to eat.

One centre in Thailand cares for these elephants. It gives them a safe and natural living space. When they are at the centre, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help here. The student helpers work with the elephant keepers. These keepers train the students in caring for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the centre. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot.
