It seems that beauty and women are twins．You are joking? No，I do not．Observe for yourself Ads on fashion TV screens，radio programs，magazines，newspapers，and the streets．Whether they have realized it or not, women are surrounded(包围)by a sea of fashion．They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm．So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?

But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks．The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks．A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still keep up her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge，ability，a kind heart，great courage，concern for others，etc．

In addition，old and young，beautiful and ugly are relative concept．People who keep a young mind will never feel old．Interested in new things and eager to learn more，they keep up with the tide．Plainly(简朴地)dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real．Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful．Good books ale rich soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks．

The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess. Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up—how to catch wild elephants.

Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. “Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the Chase,” she says.

But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. “My work,” she says,“is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. ”And this is exactly what Parbati has

It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.

The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans,” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed !

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course,…… 此处隐藏：22086字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
