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 and all the dogs ran back to the village for     16    . That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroyed a few houses and hurt several people. The villages were frightened（害怕）and angry. Then someone suggested     17     Parbati for help, the elephant princess（公主）.

Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer（驯象师）. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even     18    . He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up-how to catch wild elephants.

Parbati hasn’t     19     lived in the forest. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to 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 excitement lasts for days after the chase,” she says.

But Parbati doesn’t catch elephant just for fun . “My     20    , ” she says, “is to protect man from the elephants, and to keep the elephant safe from man.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.     21    , the Indian elephant is angry for many years, hunters have attacked it and its home in the forest 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     22     the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.

Being an elephant tamer also needs love. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a baby elephant. “Finally they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more     23     than humans,” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the huge, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!

Touch is one of the most important of our five senses. It is one of the first senses we develop. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world—a hug!

There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share.

A recent research has shown that when people hug, the brain releases the chemical(化学物质) which increases our willingness to trust and reduces fear. It has also shown that hugs are great for your heart.

In 1995, a pair of newly born twins was being cared for in hospital. While one of the twins seemed quite healthy, her sister was not. After trying different medical treatments, the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian, placed the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled(依偎) up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually(逐渐地). How great the power of a hug is!

The need for hugs doesn’t disappear as we grow older, though it seems we are less willing to give them. Research on people of all ages has proven that a hug is necessary for physical and emotional health.

Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.

Today, it is a big problem for young graduates to get good jobs. It is said that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs in the world. Choosing the right one is not that easy.

“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job, but they are not suitable for it. Sometimes a “c    47    ” may play a more important part than a “decision”.

Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy after school or university. First it is important to r    48     what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you outstanding and w    49     you are interested in. There is a different between an interest and a skill. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a skill. Then ask y    50     a question. “In the f     51     areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things, which are your best skills?” A     52     examining your skills, the next step is research. To find about as many different kinds of jobs as p    53    , go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do. Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, just find the job you really enjoy doing.

Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）

During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the vet’s, so I’d seen a lot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Thin curly hair barely covered her sausage-shaped body. Her big eyes always looked surprised. And her tail looked like a rat’s.

She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep because her owners didn’t want her anymore. But I thought Minnie had a sweet personality. “No one should judge her by her looks,” I thought. So instead of putting her to sleep, the vet gave her the chance to be adopted （收养） by someone else. I advertised Minnie, in the local paper: “Funny-looking dog, well behaved, needs a loving family.”

When a young man called, I warned him that Minnie was strange looking. The boy on the phone told me that his Grandfather’s 16-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what it looked like. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive.

At last, an old car drove up in front of the vet’s. Two kids ran to the door. They took Minnie to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie.

The Grandfather carried Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair. She licked （舔） his face. It was love at first lick.

“She’s perfect!” the old man said excitedly.

I was thankful that Minnie had found the good home that she deserved （值得）.

That’s when I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color—he was blind.
