Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animal on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbors. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male(雄性) elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.

My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette(香烟)butts(烟头)for seven years.One day,we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground.They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people dropping butts.We called it "No Butts About It".
At first,we drew pictures with "The Earth is not your ashtray(烟灰缸)"written on them.We put the pictures around our hometown﹣in parks,by beaches,and along roads.We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment.Most smokers don't think that dropping butts hurts the Earth.But it does,and all rubbish does!
Later,we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us.We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers.We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn't have to drop butts.
At the moment,we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes.Some companies want to do it.Many people have started to join our group since it began.Today there are 45 other "No Butts About It" groups in America.
Now there even groups in England,Australia,and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years.And we have won many prizes for what we do.But we are not interested in prizes.We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals,plants and people. One day,it will be.
