In both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats(栖息地). People are moving into the elephants habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called Elephant Transit Home(ETH).
Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. Many are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd.
A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. There are no boundaries in the area for the baby elephants as they have the freedom to walk wherever they want. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.
At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connections with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds(联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
The ETH is considered as one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for, but they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.
23. What do we know about the ETH
A. It helps to keep baby elephants safe.
B. It saves hundreds of elephants every year.
C. It aims to protect elephants from extinction.
D. It changes elephants habitats for the better.
24. What does the underlined word "boundaries" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Extreme climates. B. Dividing lines.
C. Limited foods. D. Endangered species.
25. Why do the workers reduce human connections with the elephants
A. To train them to stay away from hunters.
B. To provide them with more living space.
C. To study them better in a natural environment.
D. To help them make it in the wild as a herd.
26. What's the purpose of the text
A. To show the ways of wildlife protection.
B. To explain the threat baby elephants face.
C. To introduce an animal protection project.
D. To persuade the readers to protect elephants.
Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. (1) There's plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.
(2) Explaining the motivation(动机) behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants.
(3) They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So exposure(暴露) to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults', especially their parents' behaviors. That's to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. (4) .
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. (5) What's more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A. It's so good going for a walk around trees.
B. Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.
C. And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
D. Parents don't have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E. They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.
F. In a new study researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G. Researchers will study more about the connection between children's happiness and nature.
