Elephants who paint aren't new. Paintings by Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoe

nix Zoo in Arizona, sold for up to $5,000 in the late 1980s, said Dick George, a consultant with the zoo.

"Ruby was about seven months old when she first came to the zoo", said George. "She lived with a goat and some chickens, but she didn't have an elephant companion for a number of years. She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating. Her keeper bought her some art supplies". George said, ', Ruby was excited about painting right from the beginning".

The elephants at the art academies in the Southeast Asia are taught to hold a paintbrush with the tip of their trunks. Initially, the keeper guides the elephant's trunk over the canvas(画布) and offers rewards for good performance.

"It only takes a few hours to a day to teach them", said Mia Fineman, an art historian whose book When Elephants Paint is an illustrated history of the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project.

Ruby was an Asian elephant ______.

A．who was sold for a price as high as $5,000

B．who was famous for being the first painting elephant

C．whose paintings sold for as high as $5,000

D．who started painting in the late 1980s

听力原文：M: So, what exactly are you doing to protect the elephants here？

W: Well, we have managed to raise a lot of money for this project. A lot of it is being used to compensate farmers for the damage that elephants do to their crops.

M: Hog, does that protect the elephants？

W: since the elephants cause damage to the crops, farmers are often tempted to go out and kill the elephants.

M: I see. So, the farmers don't have a real problem with the elephants until the elephants start eating the crops. But why do the elephants do that？

W: Well, there aren't enough trees to provide them with food on the land that has been reserved for them.

M: Mm. But: if you successfully protect the elephants, their numbers will grow and they will need more food, that means that they'll need more land.

W: That's true, but we've solved that problem too. What we do is move some elephants to reservations where there are relatively few.

M: So that's where you spend another large proportion of the money you raise.

W: Actually, it isn't very expensive because we share the cost with the people who run the other reservations.

M: I see. How do you decide which elephants to move？

W: We use two criteria. The first is that we maintain the genetic diversity of the elephant herd. The second is that we transport the more aggressive members of the herd, which results in us spending less money compensating farmers.

M: Are there any plans to expand the reservation？

W: We have allocated some money to land purchases, but such purchases could have a detrimental effect on the local human population so we rarely do it.

M: What kinds of research are you doing on the elephants here？

W: We're mainly studying the way that elephants interact with each other within a herd.

M: I see. Well, thanks very much for your time.

W: My pleasure.

第6题

Two main techniques have been used for training elephants, which we may call respectively

the tough and the gentle. The former method simply consists of setting an elephant to work and beating him until he does what is expected. Apart from any moral considerations this is a stupid method of training, for it produces a resentful animal who at a later stage may well turn man-killer. The gentle method requires more patience in the early stages, but produces a cheerful, good-tempered elephant who will give many years of loyal service.

The first essential in elephant training is to assign to the animal a single mahout who will be entirely responsible for the job. Elephants like to have one master just as dogs do, and are capable of a considerable degree of personal affection. There are even stories of half-trained elephant calves who have refused to feed and pained to death when by some unavoidable circumstance they have been deprived of their own trainer. Such extreme cases must probably be taken with a grain of salt, but they do underline the general principle that the relationship between elephant and mahout is the key to successful training.

The most economical age to capture an elephant for training is between fifteen and twenty years, for it is then almost ready to undertake heavy work and can begin to earn its keep straight away. But animals of this age do not easily become subservient to man, and a very firm hand must be employed in the early stages. The captive elephant, still roped to a tree, plunges and screams every time a man approaches, and for several days will probably refuse all food through anger and fear. Sometimes a tame elephant is tethered nearby to give the wild one confidence, and in most cases the captive gradually quietens down and begins to accept its food. The next stage is to get the elephant to the training establishment, a ticklish business which is achieved with the aid of two tame elephants roped to the captive on either side.

When several elephants are being trained at one time, it is customary for the new arrival to be placed between the stalls of two captives whose training is already well advanced. It is then left completely undisturbed with plenty of food and water so that it can absorb the atmosphere of its new home and see that nothing particularly alarming is happening to its companions when it is eating normally, its own training begins. The trainer stands in front of the elephant holding a long stick with a sharp metal point. Two assistants, mounted on tame elephants, control the captive from either side, while others rub their hands over his skin to the accompaniment of a monotonous and soothing chant. This is supposed to induce pleasurable sensations in the elephant, and its effects are reinforced by the use of endearing epithets, such as 'ho! my son', or 'ho! My father', or 'my mother' according to the age and sex of the captive. The elephant is not immediately susceptible to such blandishments, however, and usually lashes fiercely with its trunk in all directions. These movements are controlled by the trainer with the metal-pointed stick, and the trunk eventually becomes so sore that the elephant curls it up and seldom afterwards uses it for offensive purposes.

The ill-treatment of an elephant during training______.

A．can have unpleasant consequences later

B．is the most effective method available

C．increases the time it takes to train the animal

D．ensures loyal service for years to come
