听力原文： The elephant is the biggest four-legged animal in the world.

They live for a long time—fifty or sixty years in families of females. There will be a

few young male—a few “baby boy”. But the females will soon send them away. An

elephant family keeps only its daughters, mothers and grandmothers, and its great

grandmothers. The females stay together for years. The older animals look after

the young ones. The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example. And

what happens to male elephants? Well, the young males stay with their mothers for a

time. Then they must leave the family. The females just send them away. A bull

elephant does not often have a friend. He lives alone; away from the family, and often

away from other bulls. Sometime the females call a bull. He can visit them then,

and they stay for a time. But soon his “wives” and sisters send him away again. The

females have a very happy family life. Elephants can remember things very well.

They never forget great happiness or great sadness. When a female elephant dies, her

daughters and her grand-daughters are sad for many months. They stay with the dead

body. Then they carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a dead friend.
