Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there. So after I finished the
17、study program, I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I w
18、as shocked and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came
19、 to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can
20、be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. Thats because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmosp
21、heric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, which leads to the best northern lights. And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.24Why did the host mother ask the author to go out?AShe wanted

While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. Thats why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, pr

Luckily, ivory bans, hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.The 21st century brin
27、gs a different challenge to elephant conservationland-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts between local farmers and these big animals.Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely
28、 in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop
29、the widest possible space for elephants.The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local famers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.28The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers _.AAfrican ele
