四回答问题
Elephants are the biggest land animals.They are grey.Their skin is thick (厚的).They come from Africa and Asia，but we can also see them in other areas.African elephants have very big ears while Asian elephants have small ears.Elephants have a very long nose and some have two long white teeth.
Elephants eat a lot of food， but they don’t eat meat.They eat leaves，grass and fruit.An elephant eats about 140 kilos of food a day.A big elephant is over 3.5 metres tall and weighs 6，000 kilos.Elephants love water and they are good at swimming.
Nowadays，elephants are in danger.They have less and less land to live on，because people are taking away their land and forests.People cut down many trees，so elephants are losing their homes.Also，some people kill elephants to sell their long teeth.Today there are only about 3，000 elephants (over 100，000 before) in the wild.If we don’t protect these wild animals，they will die out soon.So we should help them.In order to protect elephants，we must save the trees and we shouldn’t buy things made of their teeth.
1.Where do elephants come from？
　 　
2.How much food does an elephant eat a day？
　 　
3.What are elephants good at？
　 　
4.Why do some people kill elephants？
　 　
5.What must we do to protect elephants？

四回答问题
Elephants are the biggest land animals.They are grey.Their skin is thick (厚的).They come from Africa and Asia，but we can also see them in other areas.African elephants have very big ears while Asian elephants have small ears.Elephants have a very long nose and some have two long white teeth.
Elephants eat a lot of food， but they don’t eat meat.They eat leaves，grass and fruit.An elephant eats about 140 kilos of food a day.A big elephant is over 3.5 metres tall and weighs 6，000 kilos.Elephants love water and they are good at swimming.
Nowadays，elephants are in danger.They have less and less land to live on，because people are taking away their land and forests.People cut down many trees，so elephants are losing their homes.Also，some people kill elephants to sell their long teeth.Today there are only about 3，000 elephants (over 100，000 before) in the wild.If we don’t protect these wild animals，they will die out soon.So we should help them.In order to protect elephants，we must save the trees and we shouldn’t buy things made of their teeth.
