I was off to go back to work one evening and my two children were busy sewing(缝)things on the sewing machine. My 11-year-old daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to help her older brother in making a little cushion(垫子). I left, and in a few hours returned to find a mess(混乱)in the kitchen, front room, and both children sitting in front of the television.
Having had a long day, I was very short with my greeting to them and then I noticed the material my daughter had used. It had been bought to make a baby blanket, and now had chunks(大块)cut out of almost every piece of cloth. Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and explained how angry I was at what had been done.
My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face. She went back to her room quietly, and spent some time in there alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologize for the mistake she had made.
A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, there on my bed lay a beautiful, little cushion made out of the forbidden cloth, with the words“I LOVE MOM”. Alongside it was a note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the cloth.
To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions. It was I who then sheepishly went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the cushion on my bed, and use it as a reminder that nothing in this world is greater than a child's love.

It is easy for us to tell our friends from our enemies．But can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not．
In Kenya, researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups．Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants．
In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man．When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all．
Garment color also plays a role, though in a different way．In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men．Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing．
The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations of the smells and the sights．Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide．Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low．Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive．

A．Maasai people are a threat to elephants． B．Kamba people raise elephants for farming．

6．How did the elephants react to smell in the study?
A．They attacked a man with the smell of new clothing．
B．They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar．
C．They became anxious when they smelled Kamba-scented clothing．
D．They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies．
7．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Elephants use sight and smell to detect danger．
B．Elephants attack people who wear red clothing．
C．Scientists are now able to control elephants’ emotions．
D．Some Kenyan tribes understand elephants’ emotions very well．
8．What can be inferred about the elephant’s behavior from this passage?
A．Elephants learn from their experiences
B．Elephants have sharper sense of smell than sight．
C．Elephants are more intelligent than other animals．
