Reporter: What did you do next?
Chris: I flew to New Delhi and started looking for an elephant, I needed an elephant trained to carry people.
I didn't know anything about elephants, so I asked an expert (專家) for help. He taught me how to ride an
elephant. He also helped me find an elephant.
Reporter: How long did it take to find a suitable elephant?
Chris: Not too long. I bought a female elephant called Tara for about 6, 000 dollars.
Reporter: Can you tell me about the journey?
Chris: Tara and I set off from New Delhi a week later. We were going to Sonepur in northern India. There is
a big elephant market there and I could sell Tara easily. And what a ride! Elephants can travel at about 6 miles
an hour and Sonepur is more than 1, 200 km away. It took us 64 days to complete the journey.
Reporter: Did you have any problems on your journey?
Chris: Yes, a few. But nothing serious. On the third day, Tara hurt her foot. Btu that got better quickly. Also,
there was a lot of heavy rain during the first week and we got very wet!
Reporter: What happened when you reached Sonepur?
Chris: My plan was to sell Tara. But I was very fond of her. I couldn't take her back to Britain and I didn't
want to sell her at the market. I happened to meet some people who wanted an elephant for their national park
in southern India. I knew that Tara would be safe with them, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say
goodbye.

     Two magazines recently listed The Best Cities to Live in. Here is one of them.
     HONG KONG, CHINA.
     Why live in Hong Kong? Here are two reasons.
     The city: This lively city - once a small fishing village - is today an international business centre. It is
an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern skycrapers are next to small temples. Popular
nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the strees at all hours of the day. But outside
the city, there are parks for walking and relaxing.
    The food: Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes (try the dim sum). There's also food
from Eruope, North America, and other parts of Asia.
     Minuses: This small city has a large population. How many people live in Hong Kong? Almost seven
million! That's why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.
1. What used Hong Kong to be?
    __________________________________________________
2. What East and old things can travellers see inside the city?
    __________________________________________________
3. Hong Kong food is another example to show the mix of East and West, isn't it?

     Here's some news about the Olympic Games held in Beijing.
     Rocket man
     No doubt that Dayron Robles won the gold medal in the men's 110 meter hurdles at the Bird's Nest last
night. The 21-year-old fellow rushed ahead after rising from the blocks and never forgot his position to come
home a meter clear of the field in 12.93 seconds. His win is the second fastest time in Olympic history but
0.06 seconds slower than his own world record. His success is an expected one because defending Olympic
champion Liu Xiang gave up because of injury.
     Underdogs steal gold
     In a surprising change the US got its Olympic title again after a fierce (激烈的) match at the Worker's
Stadium. Missing three key players, the US team managed to hold down Brazilian's crazy attacks in the last
moments of the match. Carli Lloyd scored the US goal making it 1:0 in extra time. In the left minutes the
Brazilians fired as many shots as they could, but all in vain. After being defeated by Brazil 4:0 in last year's
World Cup, the US team was considered the luckiest team in last night's final.

seconds, 1.5 seconds ahead of Davies. German swimmer Thomas Lurz won the bronze. The Dutchman

B. Meijden won at least two world championships in 2008.
C. Meijden was operated on in 2001.
