where they ran for safety.That didnt stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati，the elephant princess.Parbati Baruas father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round­uphow to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasnt always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father，she was sent to a boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life.“Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase，” she says.But Parbati doesnt catch elephants just for fun.“My work，” she says，“ is to rescue men from the elephants，and to keep the elephants safe from men.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.Increasingly，the Indian elephant is angry: for many years，illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village，Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant.“Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans，” she said，as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant，happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!1For Parbati，catching elephants is mainly to _.Aget long­lasting excitementBkeep both men and

_.Apeople easily fall victim to elephantsattacksBthe man­elephant relationship is getting worseCelephant tamers are in short supplyDdogs are as powerful as

babies，we are equipped with the ability to respond with fear when we sense danger or feel unsafe.People fear things or situations that make them feel unsafe.For instance，someone who isnt a strong swimmer might have a fear of deep water.In this case，the fear is helpful because it cautions the person to stay safe.2._A fear can be healthy if it cautions a person to stay safe around something that could be dangerous.But sometimes a fear is unnecessary and causes more caution than the situation calls for.3._ Whether its giving a report in class，speaking at an assembly，or reciting lines in the school play，speaking in front of others is one of the most common fears people have.People tend to avoid the situations or things they fear.4._ In fact，it can be the opposite.Avoiding something scary reinforces a fear and keeps it strong.People can overcome unnecessary fears by giving themselves the chance to learn about and gradually get used to the thing or situation theyre afraid of.For example，people who fly despite a fear of flying can become used to unfamiliar situations like take­off or turbulence(湍流)They learn what to expect and have a chance to watch what others do to relax and enjoy the flight.5._AYoung kids often have fears of the dark.BBut this doesnt help them overcome fear.CMany people have a fear of public speaking.DA feeing of fear can be brief or it can last longer.EGradually facing fear helps someone overcome it.FSomeone could overcome this fear by learning how to swim safely.GIt is programmed into the nervous system and works like an instinct(本能)答案：GFCBE.完形填空You Are Going PlacesOne day I came home from school，changed my clothes and got ready for work.I work at a local restaurant in town as a cashier，seater and waiter.I went to

Places(你前途无量)。1选D。“我”去上班的时候心情非常不好。feeling down是现在分词作伴随状语，意为“闷闷不乐”。倒数第二段的They _17_ my spirit from being down也说明了该题答案。2选A。应付那些抱怨食品、座位的顾客是大大小小的事情。deal with表示“对付”；help with帮助做；talk with和交谈；meet with遇到，经受。3选B。顾客抱怨他们就座的位置。seat是使役动词，表示“使坐下”，be seated意为“坐下，就座”；sit是不及物动词，应为where they sat。4选D。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。annoy表示“使生气”。因为作者前面提到了顾客的种种抱怨，因此只能导致雇员的烦恼、生气。attract吸引；avoid避免；adjust调整。5选A。句中的our和下文的we给出了提示。employees表示“受雇者，雇工”。6选C。她们碰巧坐在“我”放用过的盘子的盒子的附近。spot表示“地方，地点”。7选A。the dirty dishes指客人用过的盘子。因为作者是在餐厅打工的学生，所以“端盘子”才能与文章主题相符。8选C。顾客们的进进出出，服务员的穿梭走动。该空指服务员在餐馆的来回走动，穿梭服务。顾客们是来这里就餐的，不能来回走，故排除D项，A、B两项太片面。9选C。虽然餐馆处于一片忙乱的状态，但是这三位妇女在专心看着“我”。该空前的crazy给该空提出了暗示。10选B。她们看着“我”，看“我”如何收拾以确保每张桌子干净，从而去迎接下一批顾客。11选A。她们吃完饭的时候。根据下文的I took their plates back to the kitchen排除C、D两项；complete往往用于完成“建筑物”“工程”“书籍”等；而finish指做完手中的事情，如：“用完”“吃完”等。12选B。grade表示“年级”。她们询问我上几年级。通过上下文，可知作者是个打工的学生，故B项符合文意。13选C。当她们离开的时候，她们走过“我”身边。as引导时间状语从句时，表示主从句的动作同时发生。由句意排除A、D两项；while引导时间状语从句时，从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词。14选A。她们从“我”身边走过时，有一个人用自信和温和的语调说。由下文的You are going places.(你前途无量)推测说话者语气。因为说话人在鼓励作者，所以只有A项符合语境。15选C。客人说完后就离开了餐馆。由下文知道，they指three elderly ladies，她们来餐馆用餐。16选B。根据文意可知，别人给予了作者自信的“勇气”，作者才得以重新振作起来。17选B。她们让“我”振作起来。pick up表示“使恢复精神”。put down放下，镇压；take over接管；point out指出。18选B。她们给了“我”继续努力的理由。reason表示某种行为的原因；cause表示某种现象的原因。19选A。有人曾经告诉“我”，没有学位，“我”就不能从事电视台的工作。下文的Im now a co­anchor(联合主持人)of a student­produced television _20_.暗示这里的答案。20选C。a student­produced television show表示学生制作的电视节目。show表示“演出，表演节目”。.短文改错I was in college where my father passed away.One evening，a man visited me and after the while，he asked some question about my studies.I
