IV．True or False (7分)
The elephant is another animal that lives in groups. An elephant herd (群) usually has from twenty to forty members. The elephants in the herd depend on one another for help in time of trouble.
The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female. She travels at the head of the herd and is followed by the other females and their young. The bull elephants （公象）follow last. When danger threatens（威胁）, the bulls form a circle around the weaker animals and guard （守卫）them.
The members of the herd are loyal to（忠诚）one another. A sick or wounded elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is injured, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their bodies. A member of the herd may be caught in a trap. Then the others try to free it.
Elephants are fond of the youngsters in the group and give them special care. They help young animals stay afloat (漂浮着) when the herd crosses a river. They work together to rescue a calf（幼象）that has wandered（迷路）into a dangerous place.
A female elephant that is about to give birth to（生产）her young leaves the herd for a short time. However, she takes another female along to act as "aunt". The aunt stands guard and helps the mother with her new-born calf. In this way, the whole herd protects its newest member.

Jackson was a mailman. Five days a week he rode his bicycle from village to village delivering letters. He knew everybody and everybody knew him.
“Here comes Jackson,” the children called, and their parents came to the doors of their houses. Everybody liked Jackson, and of course everyone especially liked getting letters.
“Something for you today,” Jackson would call and he would get off his bicycle and take a letter or a package out of the bag. Or he would say, “Sorry, nothing for you today,” and rode on.
Even the dogs knew and liked Jackson, and although they barked (叫)at strangers, they never barked at him. Except for one dog. Its owner, Mrs. Lin, had not lived in the village for many weeks, and every time the dog saw Jackson, it started barking. When he came to Mrs. Lin’s house, Jackson rode his bicycle faster. There were never any letters for her so he did not have to stop.  Then one day, there was a letter for her. Jackson stopped his bicycle some way from Mrs.Lin’s house. The dog started barking. Mrs. Lin came to the door.
“A letter for you!” Jackson shouted.
“Why can’t you bring it to me?” Mrs. Lin shouted back.
“What about your dog?” Jackson said. “I don’t want it to bite me.”
Mrs. Lin laughed.  “Don’t be frightened,” she said. “Everyone knows the old saying: a barking dog never bites.”
“You know the old saying and I know it,” Jackson said, “but how do you know that your dog knows it?”
