The elephant is the largest animal to walk on Earth. An elephant can carry a load of 1,200 pounds(磅). They eat 300 pounds of food a day. An elephant baby can weigh 200 pounds at birth. Elephants can live up to 70 years.
Elephants can be trained to carry logs with their trunks(象鼻), and have been used in the forestry industry in Asia for many years.
Elephants use their ears as a cooling system. Blood  flows through veins (静脉) in the ears and as the elephant flaps (拍击) his ears, the blood cools and flows through his body to cool off other parts.
There are two kinds of elephants: the African elephant and the Indian elephant. African elephants can be identified(识别) by the larger ears. The African elephant grows up to 10 feet tall and weighs as much as 12,000 pounds.
The Indian elephant grows up to 9 feet tall, and weighs up to 8,000 pounds. It’s easy to identify because of its smaller ears. Most circus (马戏团) elephants are Indian elephants. Another name for the Indian elephant is the Asian elephant.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t  mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

On the night of 23 July, 2011, a fast running train D301 from Beijing to Fuzhou suddenly hit another train which had already stopped there.
