The elephant is another animal that lives in groups. An elephant herd (bầy) usually has from twenty to forty members. The elephants in the herd depend on one another for help in time of trouble. The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female. She travels at the head of the herd and is followed by the other females and their young. The bull elephants follow last. When danger threatens, the bulls form a circle around the weaker animals and guard them.

The members of the herd are loyal to one another. A sick or wounded elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is injured, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their bodies. Elephants are fond of the youngsters in the group and give them special care. They help young animals stay afloat when the herd crosses a river. They work together to rescue a calf that has wandered into a dangerous place. A female elephant that is about to give birth to her young leaves the herd for a short time. However, she takes another female along to act as “aunt.” The aunt stands guard and helps the mother with her new-born calf. In this way, the whole herd protects its newest member.

In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was dubbed “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they provided only twenty lifeboats and rafts (bè gỗ), less than one half the number needed for the 2,227 passengers on board.

Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. An unextinguished fire also contributed to the ship's submersion. Panic increased the number of casualties as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the 705 survivors. The infamous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.

76. Which of the following did NOT contribute to the large death toll?

A. panic B. fire C. speed D. the Carpathia

77. How many days was the S.S. Titanic at sea before sinking?

78. The word “dubbed” in the passage is closest in meaning to_____.

C. the S.S. Titanic sank near Newfoundland D. the S.S. Titanic was the fastest ship afloat in 1912

B. Attempts to rescue the S.S. Titanic’s survivors were not successful.

C. Overconfidence by builders and owners was greatly responsible for the sinking of the vessel.

D. A fire and panic were the only causes for the sinking of the ship
