   These musical elephants started at the TECC (泰國大象保護中心) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and love them. And,like many zoos a 4 the world,the TECC encourages elephants to paint.

   Richard Lair w 5 for the TECC. He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants. He says some of the animals 5 paintings are very good. But,in fact,elephants h 6 better than they see. And so he had an idea: if elephants are s 7 and they have good hearing,maybe they can play music. To test his idea,Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance (表演) ,the elephants play a number of i 8 , including the drums and the xylophone (木琴) .

   But can elephants really make music properly? Yes,says Lair. They are very creative. Humans e 9 the animals to play,but the elephants make their own songs;they don't just copy their trainers o 10 other people. There are now CDs of the group's music which make money for the TEC   C. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

  Old Dawson had the best apples in town,but kids knew they mustn't go into his yard to pick a delicious apple,even off the ground,because Dawson,a bad-tempered (壞脾氣的) man,they said,would come after you with his gun.

   One Friday,12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend pruSS Amy. They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house. Like most of the children,Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.

   Amy said that Mr Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still,Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got dose enough,Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皺 眉) ,but when he saw it was Amy,a big smile changed his whole face as he said,Hello,Miss Amy.I see you’ve got a little friend with you today. ”

  Tommy White has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California on July 10 ,2007. He has been heading for Australia with only birds,fish,and sharks ever since.

   Crossing the Pacific is the only part of his journey. Tommy has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row,bike,walk,and climb the world without help from any motors (馬達) at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents (大陸) along the way.

   For the first part of his trip,he bicycled 5,546 miles from Seattle,Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back,walked 67 miles to base camp,and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinley's peak. Now in the second part of his dangerous trip,he is rowing to Australia.

   Why would he try to go around the world this way? He explains that he wants to encourage kids to dream their dreams and get to their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way,and sometimes they might not even get to that final goal. But they can have great adventures and learn a lot along the way.

   Tommy has already faced some difficulties. For example,winds and waves keep pushing him westward when he wants to go south toward the Solomon Islands. If his luck doesn’t change,he will cheerfully change his plan,and aim to land at Papua New Guinea. One way or another,he's sure he’ll get to his next goal:Australia.

   When his trip around the world takes him across land,he enjoys meeting people一especially children. He has already visited many schools and shared his story.

   Tommy encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says,“With goals,we will make progress,and we will be farther along than when we started,even if we don't get to some goals. That's called life!”

1. How has Tommy decided to go all the way around the world?

2. Which part of his trip is he in now?

3. If his luck doesn’t change,where does he aim to land?

4. What does he enjoy on his trip across land?

5. To Tommy,does life mean struggling for (為……而奮斗) the goals?
