The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn"t stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati,the elephant princess. Parbati Barua"s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant roundup-how to catch wild elephants. Parbati hasn"t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says. But Parbati doesn"t catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly,the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill. The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed! | |||
1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to________. | |||
A. get long lasting excitement B. keep both man and elephants safe C. send them back to the jungle D. make the angry elephants tame | |||

Tom Whittaker, born in England in 1949, is an amazing example of a Can Do person. The young man came to the United States in 1975, where he studied for a Master"s in Arts. Although studying took up much of his time, he traveled throughout the US and Canada climbing many different types of rock walls. Thus, he made friends with many people with the same interest. However, on Thanksgiving Day in 1979, a car driven by a drunk driver lost control and suddenly turned into his lane(车道), striking the head of his vehicle. The injuries to both of his legs and feet resulted in the removal of one of his kneecaps(膝盖骨), and the amputation(截去 )of his right foot. It wasn"t easy, but after some time, with great effort and strong will, Tom rebuilt his hope for life. The report of his story moved the whole nation of America. Eventually he earned another master"s degree and founded the Cooperative Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group. This program"s success sent Tom around the world to spread his message that "it is not the falling down, but the getting back up that matters". He became a professor in Adventure Education at Prescott College in Arizona, where he taught the top outdoor leadership program in the nation. After 25 years of experience as a mountaineer, on May 27, 1998, Tom achieved his greatest accomplishment so far:reaching the peak of Mt. Everest. Tom was actually the first person with a disability to ever climb and stand on the peak of Mt. Everest. He realized that reaching the peak of Mt. Everest could do nothing to change his disability, but it could do a lot to change attitudes. Tom Whittaker wanted people to realize that disability is as much an attitude as it is a condition. | |||
