They play many different k___81____ of music—everything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so p   82    ? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of the things, but it’s a   83    something else: they're elephants.        These musical elephants started at the TECC（泰国大象保护中心）in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and love them. And, like many zoos a   84    the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.        Richard Lair w   85    for the TECC. He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants. He says some of the animals' paintings are very good. But, in fact, elephants h   86    better than they see. And so he had an idea: if elephants are s   87    and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance（表演）, the elephants play a number of i   88    , including the drums and the xylophone（木琴）.        But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They are very creative. Human e   89    the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers o   90    other people. There are now CDs of the group’s music which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.‎ ‎2014‎ On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 81 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had to f 82 at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel quickly.‎ After about 20 h 83 , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 84 about 65 miles (英里) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w 85 for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 86 got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.‎ What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 87 the flight, she probably moved in ‎ the wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 88 to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飞机失事), s 89 to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).‎ Till now, none of these i 90 has been proved. People are still wondering about them. (Noonan’s body has never been found either.) No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”‎ ‎2013‎ ‎ Many people say dolphins are very intelligent (聪颖的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they c 81 like humans or more like cats or dogs? Scientists say dolphin intelligence is s 82 to human intelligence in some ways. How?‎ ‎ Like humans, every dolphin has a “name”. I 83 is a special whistle (哨声). Scientists think dolphins, like people. “t 84 ” to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system (系统) of sounds and body language to c 85 . But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.‎ ‎ Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often come to play games from ‎ different groups and have f 86 , just like people. In fact, playing t 87 is something only intelligent animals do.‎ ‎ Dolphins and humans b 88 make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, dolphins use an interesting way to get food. When fish are n 89 a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets (网) in the water. And the men can catch a lot of fish. What is the advantage for the dolphins? Why do they h 90 the men? The dolphins can get some of the fish.‎ ‎2012‎ Parents sometimes learn much from their children.‎ Many years ago, a 81 my friend David worked day and night, he was still not rich. One day, when he arrived h 82 after work, he found his 3-year-old daughter was decorating a box with some expensive wrapping paper. He thought she was w 83 money and became angry with her. He even p 84 his daughter by beating her. However, the little girl brought the box to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy. Merry Christmas!” He was embarrassed (尴尬) by his ‎ overreaction (过激反应), but he became angry a 85 when he found the box was empty.‎ He shouted at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there should be s 86 inside it?”‎ The little girl looked up at him with t 87 in her eyes and said, “Oh, Daddy. I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my l 88 . All for you, Daddy.”‎ The father was very surprised. He put his arms around his little girl, and said s 89 to her. Later, David told me that he kept that box by his bed for years. When he was discouraged(情绪低落), he would take out an imaginary (想像的) kiss from the box and r 90 the love of the child.‎ ‎2011‎ Bill and Simon were good friends. One summer they were on h . They wanted to sail around the Caribbean Sea in their boat for two weeks.‎ During their trip, they saw many whales. Bill and Simon were very e because they had wanted to see them very much. Unluckily, w they were watching them, the whales began to hit the side of the boat.‎ Suddenly, w started coming in, and they realized that they were in trouble. They q jumped into the lifeboat before the sank(沉没), and watched it disappear under the sea.‎ Luckily, they had enough food and water for about twenty d . They also had a fishing line and a machine which could change sea water i drinking water. These two things helped them to survive(存活) during their terrible experience.‎ For the next fifty days they caught about ten fish a day and a them.

Then, just as they were beginning to l hope, a fishing boat saved them.‎ ‎2010‎ Think about two people you know. How would you describe their personalities? Are they the s_________(81)?
