题目内容:
①Elephants are the biggest land animals alive today. We have worked with elephants for a long time, but there are still many misunderstandings about elephants.
②Some people think that elephants will run away if they see a mouse. This is untrue, in fact, elephants have such poor eyesight that they would not usually see a mouse, even if one came very near them.
③ “Elephants never forget.” is another fallacy(谬论). No evidence suggests that elephants have better memories than any other animals.
④Finally, there is the myth(神话) that when the time comes for an elephant to die, it goes to some kind of elephant graveyard(墓地), but no one has ever found such a graveyard. What elephants probably do when they are old and sick is finding a cave and staying in it, so they will be safe until they either get better or die.
⑤In Thailand, when the country was still called Siam, if someone found a white elephant, they gave it to the king because it was rare. The king had no choice but to keep the animal and feed it, even though it had no use for him.
