her.suddenly, a lion sprang from the bushes and clamped its mouth around her neck. one person managed to pull out his gun and fire shots in the air. the shocked lion released the baby and backed away.now the weakened baby had a grave wound on her neck. about 300 miles north of tsavo is a place that helps baby elephants. over the years, the orphanage(孤儿院）has raised 130 elephants and

and wild. she screamed, and wouldnt let any humans get near her, refusing to eat or drink.after two hours of intense medical care, ishanga awoke and slowly struggled to her feet. two keepers and a veterinarian had been with her all night. they were relieved that she seemed to be recovering.the next day, though ishanga remained weak, her keepers introduced her to some of the other 14 young elephants living at the orphanage. the keepers stood back as the other elephants extended their trunk in friendly greetings. the older elephants led ishanga around, giving her a tour of her new home.over the past year, ishangas wounds have healed. she has made many friends. itll be up to ishanga to decide when shes ready to leave the orphanage. returning to the wild is a long process that

almost 14% of americans speak a non-english language at home. yet only 3% reported that they spoke english “not well” or “not at all ”. that means that slightly more than one out of 10 americans could be considered bilingual. besides that, many high school and college studentsand even some elementary school studentsare required to take a foreign language. actually, a growing number of americans are coming to appreciate the benefits of using different languages.ethnic enclaves(少数民族聚居地) have preserved the language and culture of american immigrants. some local residents can function quite well in their native language, without having to bother learning english. regions such as southern florida and the southwest have numerous spanish-speaking neighborhoods. in fact, spanish speakersnumbering over 17 millionform the largest non-english linguistic group in america. but chinese, vietnamese, italian, polish and many other ethnic group add to the linguistic flavor of america. foreign languages are so commonly used in some ethnic neighborhoods that visitors might think they are in another country!although some americans welcome this linguistic and cultural diversity, others have begun to

of wider communication”. nearly everyone recognizes the need to develop the ability in using english in order
