When your friends are having a bad day, you may go to them and try your best to make them feel better, right? Believe it or not, elephants can do the same thing.
Some scientists studied 26 elephants between the ages of 3 and 60 at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. They found that elephants can know when their friends are not happy. They even try to make their friends happy. For example, when some elephants do not feel happy, the others in the family group always try to give them friendly touches. They do it by putting their long, big trunks (象鼻) in each other’s mouths. Nearby elephants also make some special noise to calm them down. Sometimes, they just stand close to their friends.
Scientists also noticed something else. Elephants would not easily leave behind their weak family members. When one elephant is hurt, the stronger elephants in the family group would go to take care of him or her.
The study surprised the scientists. They never expected (预料) that elephants could care about each other so much. Whether elephants are sick or sad, their friends would not easily leave them alone. That is truly amazing.

四、信息还原

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to admire (羡慕) people who have beautiful houses with large gardens. 1 Why? Because people with big houses may often feel lonely and people with cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you pay attention to it. 2 When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking care of your daily life and your health. When you succeed, your friends will say “Congratulations!” to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. 3 If you pay a little attention to them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. 4 When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy. That’s because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. 5
A. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you.
B. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
