    Elephants are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very well. People say that "an elephant never {#blank#}3{#/blank#}." Elephants can walk for a long time and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} get lost. They can also remember places {#blank#}5{#/blank#} food and water. This {#blank#}6{#/blank#} them to live.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}elephants are in great danger. People cut down many trees {#blank#}8{#/blank#} elephants are losing their homes. People also kill elephants {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their ivory. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before). We must save the trees and not buy things {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of ivory. Remember that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day.

    A wife came to see her husband and gave him a suggestion, "I read in an article on{#blank#}1{#/blank#}to make our marriage(婚姻)stronger. I want each of us{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a list of things that make each other annoyed. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives{#blank#}3{#/blank#}than ever together. "

    The husband agreed. So each of them went into a different room in the house and{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the things that really made the other angry. They thought and thought the questions for the rest of the day and wrote down what they{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    The next morning, at breakfast, the wife started. She took out her list. There were many points on it, enough to fill three{#blank#}6{#/blank#} . In fact, as she started reading the list, she noticed that tears(泪水)were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.

    The wife continued to read the list until she finished{#blank#}7{#/blank#}all the points on the paper to her husband. Then she placed her list on the table and put her hands over the top of it.

    It's time for her husband to read his list. But quietly the husband said, "I don't have anything on my list. I think you are perfect. I don't want you to change{#blank#}8{#/blank#}about you. "

    The woman was moved{#blank#}9{#/blank#}her husband's words and began to cry.
