    One center in Thailand cares for these elephants. It gives them a safe and natural living space. When they are at the center, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help here. The student helpers work with the elephant keepers. These keepers train the students in caring for the elephants.

When I was about 14, I had a friend who liked to tell me my shortcomings(缺点). For example: I was very1 , I wasn't a top student, I talked too much. I was too proud and soon. I became so2 that I couldn't stand her at last. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

My father3 me quietly and asked, "Are the things she says true or not? Jane, didn't you ever want to know what you're 4 like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said." I did a she told me. To my great surprise, I5 that about half the things were true. Some I couldn't change, like being very short. But many I could and I wanted to change. For the first time, I had a better understanding of 6 .

I brought the list back to my father7 he refused to read it. "That's just for you," he said, "You know better than any other person the truth about yourself. When people say something true, you'll finally find it will be 8 to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but only hear the truth and do what you know. It is the 9 thing to do.

Father's 10 have returned to meat many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.

To-wit-to-woo, to-wit-to-woo! What's that strange sound coming from the forest at night? It's an owl, of course! The owl is different from all other birds in so many ways. 

The owl's hearing and eyesight are better than most animal. All day long, the owl rests on the tree and sleep It hunts (捕猎) only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big, round eyes to look around. Any little animals around had better be careful, The owl eats small animals like mice as food, but it wouldn't say no to another bird, if it's really hungry. 

The owl uses its great hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side. using its sharp (敏锐的) eyes to fly after the animal. Finally, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special, soft feathers (羽毛), so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are good hunters and they can even catch a fly in the air!

The owl is usually quiet, except (除余了) when you get too close to its home. The mother owl is a great mother. She will protect her babies by opening her feathers angrily. She will even hurt people if she thinks her babies are in danger!

The owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal whole. All the parts of the animal that the owl can't digest (消化) will end up as small pieces. If you find these small pieces, you know you are near an owl's home.

Every year on 24 April, it's Space Day of China.  It's a day to celebrate the country's growth in space exploration.  The manned space missions (载人航天任务) are a big part of it.  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

What problems do astronauts face?

In space, astronauts face many problems.  There is little gravity (重力) there, which affects their bodies. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} What's more, if something goes wrong during their mission all of a sudden, they have to work out how to fix it under huge pressure.  That's why astronauts have to be smart, strong, and ready for any challenge before they can go to space. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

"To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their missions and return to the Earth safely, over 200 kinds of training are set," said Huang Weifen, the chief designer of the project.  These include not only physical training but also some basic science training.  So before astronauts can go to space, they train like this for at least three and a half years. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} This helps them get ready for the weightless environment in space.  Huang explained that astronauts wear diving suits (潜水服) that weigh more than 100 kilograms and stay underwater for six hours at a time.  She said that it was quite hard.  For example, Nie Haisheng even lost 2 kilograms after one underwater training exercise. 

A. How are astronauts trained?

B. What is the weightless feeling?

C. Being an astronaut is cool but difficult. 

D. Also, being in a tiny spaceship can make them feel stressed out. 

E. One of the hardest parts of the training is the underwater training.
