Though many countries have laws against the illegal ivory trade (反对非法象牙贸易), tens of thousands of African elephants are killed every year.
In January, 2014, hundreds of elephant tusks (象牙) as well as ivory sculptures were put into two large crushing machines (粉碎机) in Guangdong, China. In all, more than six tons of ivory were destroyed. People called the event an ivory crush. In November, 2013, the similar event happened in Colorado, America. There, wildlife officials also destroyed more than six tons of ivory.
Though it may sound strange, wildlife officials are crushing ivory to help save African elephants. Stephanie Wang, who works for the Wildlife Protection Society in New York City, says, “We try to let the world know that we don’t think ivory is valuable when it’s not on an elephant.” Each year, poachers kill elephants, cut off their long tusks and take the tusks out of Africa secretly. Then they sell the tusks and get thousands of dollars. The buyers use the ivory to make sculptures, jewellery and traditional medicines.
The purpose of recent ivory crushes is to send a message to the poachers and those who buy illegal ivory. Stephanie Wang says, “China’s ivory crush is ‘an important step’. However, it is only a small amount (数量) of the illegal ivory. If we don’t stop the illegal ivory trade, African elephants could disappear from the wild within 10 years.”
1. The writer mentions ______ ivory crush(es) in the passage.
A. one B. two C. six D. twelve
2. What can we infer from the passage?
A. There are too many elephants in China.

B. Chinese people can’t afford ivory sculptures.
C. American people never buy ivory sculptures.
D. Wildlife officials are against the ivory trade.
3. What does the underlined word “poachers” mean in Chinese?
A. 偷捕动物的人 B. 热爱动物的人
C. 虐待动物的人 D. 训练动物的人
4. According to Stephanie Wang, ______.
A. it’s not a good idea to crush ivory
B. all of the ivory trade is in China
C. we should do a lot to protect African elephants
D. African elephants will disappear within 10 years

According to a recent study, there are about 70,000 blind children in Indonesia. Among them, 60 percent were not born blind. Iyehezkiel Parudani is one of them, who lost his eyesight by accident at age six. He now teaches English to blind students at the Pajajaran Special SchooL Iyehezkiel Parudani says learning English can help blind people feel better about themselves. "By learning English, they can be an English teacher, a translator, and a tour guide. " Students read using Braille (盲文). To write, they use special tools, too.
Iyehezkiel Parudani says blind people should not let their physical disability influence their dreams. In 2008 , he got a chance to study at the University of Texas. Two years later, he got a master's degree in course development there.
"In the US, if I go to the university to study, everything is available - like e-books, Braille books. Here in Indonesia, you know, it’s difficult to find a reference book in e-book or in Braille. We have to make it ourselves. In the US, I can move wherever I want because everything designed is really accessible for people with blindness. "

Like her classmates, Eha loves to sing. Here, music is part of daily life. Even the students who do not study English can sing some American pop songs, such as Stand By Me , "Stand by me. Please stand, stand by me. Stand by me.... "
Iyehezkiel Parudani says the song has special meaning to the students. "In our life, we need other persons. You have to stand by me. Without you standing by me, I'm meaningless. "
