Question

20．Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks．Sometimes，the big animals harm or even kill villagers．（36）ASo，the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away：vuvuzelas，which became very popular in the South Africa World Cup．They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events to cheer for their teams．
（37）CWhen the elephants hear the unpleasant sound，they leave，and no one is harmed．
An official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants．That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack．So far，no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela．
（38）GThey have built beehives-houses for flying insects that sting（叮咬）．They have hung ropes covered in spicy （辛辣的） oil．They have dug long，deep holes．And they have used guns，called A-K47s．（39）D But over time，the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun．They only look at the shooter and wave their ears．
Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority，Gessa Simblicious，says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda．And one day，elephants may get used to the vuvuzela noise，just as they do the sound of the A-K47．（40）F
