The elephant is the largest animal to walk on Earth. An elephant can carry a load of 1,200 pounds(磅). They eat 300 pounds of food a day. An elephant baby can weigh 200 pounds at birth. Elephants can live up to 70 years.
Elephants can be trained to carry logs with their trunks(象鼻), and have been used in the forestry industry in Asia for many years.
Elephants use their ears as a cooling system. Blood  flows through veins (静脉) in the ears and as the elephant flaps (拍击) his ears, the blood cools and flows through his body to cool off other parts.
There are two kinds of elephants: the African elephant and the Indian elephant. African elephants can be identified(识别) by the larger ears. The African elephant grows up to 10 feet tall and weighs as much as 12,000 pounds.
The Indian elephant grows up to 9 feet tall, and weighs up to 8,000 pounds. It’s easy to identify because of its smaller ears. Most circus (马戏团) elephants are Indian elephants. Another name for the Indian elephant is the Asian elephant.

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail, insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.
【小题1】There were _______ blind man who were trying to tell what an elephant was like in the story.

A.twoB.fourC.fiveD.six
【小题2】The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.
A.heavyB.thinC.tallD.strong
【小题3】The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to ___.
A.your left handB.your right handC.the waterD.the bowl
【小题4】What makes people think about simple facts differently?
A.People’s wrong ideas.
B.People’s different experience.
C.Simple facts are different sometimes.
D.People often disagree with each other.
【小题5】It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.
A.learn from the blind men
B.not agree about simple facts
C.never think about simple facts
D.never decide anything with one side
