             The elephant is another animal that lives in groups. An elephant herd (群) usually has from twenty to forty
    members. The elephants in the herd depend on one another for help in time of trouble.
             The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female. She

             Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American-
    George Washington. Benjamin was black, but he was not a slave. He and his
    mother and his grandmother were free. Benjamin's grandmother came from
    England. In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her
    boat trip across the ocean . After working many more years, she saved enough
    money to buy a farm. Benjamin lived with her for a while. She taught him to read
    and write and do arithmetic (算术).
             Benjamin's neighbour knew that he was clever. They were not surprised
    when he built a large wooden clock. He made each piece after studying a small
    pocket watch. The clock made him famous, for it was one of the first clocks built in America. People from
    other places began to send hard problems of all kinds for Benjamin to settle. 
            Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Banneker's ability to settle hard problems. He asked Banneker to
    help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States-Washington, D.C. Banneker worked hard on
    the plans for the city. He marked where the streets and buildings-the Capitol (美国国会大厦) the White House,
    and many others-should be built.
            Later, L' Enfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a quarrel, and went back to France
    in anger. He took all of the plans with him. The workmen couldn't build without any plans to follow.
            For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed, but Benjamin Banneker
    remembered the plans he had helped draw. He drew each again as he had built each piece of his clock.
            If it weren't for Benjamin Banneker, Washington, D.C might look very different from the way it does
    today.

            Canada is one of the few     1     in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are
    10 provinces (省) in the country but only one of these —Quebec( 魁北克 ) is known as "French Canada". This
    is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered and governed the rest.

            We all like getting into gossip (闲聊). Studies s    1     that gossiping
    releases (释放) our emotions and reduces tension (紧张). Research has
    proved that in the USA, gossiping can make people more democratic (民主,平等). It is a way of free expression. While gossiping, people
    communicate with a free mind.
            Gossiping h   2     us shift (转移) our interest to others. When we gossip, we seldom discuss our own
    problems. We generally discuss another person who is not present. Doing so, we laugh away our own cares.
    Sometimes we feel sorry for a person involved in a particular problem. And we also come up with solutions to his problems. More happiness flows into our lives when we help and guide a person we are t    3     about.
            But, be aware of the dangerous side of gossiping! Gossiping can be harmful if you h     4     others on
    purpose. When you start speaking i     5      of someone, you start criticizing others for nothing. When you
    gossip with an ill-will, it makes you tense. Tension naturally comes to you when you try to make others tense. 
           Why do people talk badly about each other? People pass bad remarks about others simply out of hatred (憎恨), fear, envy (妒忌), and greed. The person making insulting (侮辱性的) remarks thinks his listener will keep

            We all gossip at one time or another. After gossiping, people feel l    7     and relaxed. But purely bad
    gossiping makes us tense and envious of others.

                                                                Beauty: The Korean Way
            "Thank goodness you have double eyelids (双眼皮). Your parents will save a
    lot of money," said a family friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids,
    which almost every Caucasian (白种人) has, are rare among Northeast Asians.
    Only 25% of South Koreans (韩国) are born with double eyelids.
             I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money
    until that summer when I came back to Seoul. The moment I arrived in the city, I
    noticed cosmetic surgery clinics (整容诊所) everywhere, along with billboards (街上大型广告牌) featuring South Korean women who had Western characteristics—

    tall, thin, with a milky complexion (肤色), long legs, nice big eyes, and the perfectly-angled nose. I figured out
    that South Korean beauty meant looking as "white" or Caucasian as possible.
             South Korea is known to have the highest ratio (比例) of cosmetic surgeons to citizens worldwide. It is
    very common for girls to get eyelid surgery as high school graduation presents. What made South Koreans fall
    so madly in love with cosmetic surgery? 
             Cosmetic surgery has some kind of magical appeal (吸引力) to them-the promise of beauty. Women are
    often convinced (深信不疑) that suffering and sacrificing (牺牲) is necessary and worthy in order to be
    beautiful. And this suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking
    partner, which then leads to better-looking children and a better lifestyle. 
             This beauty ideal (期望) is not a trend (时尚), but a very real standard that is growing deeper within South
    Korean society. Appearance is starting to play a bigger role in the workplace to the extent that men are also
    resort to (求助于) cosmetic surgery. For instance, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and over six feet tall,
    gets many more job offers than his best friend, who is shorter and heavier, even though both of them graduated
    from the same college and had the same GPA (平均绩点) and certificates. 
              In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty (形体美) equals happiness.
    1. How many South Koreans are born with double eyelids?
                                                                                           
    2. There are cosmetic surgery clinics everywhere in Seoul, aren't there?
