The second box is about the abilities of the elephants. The third box is about the facts and figures of the elephants. The last box is about how to save the elephants. Let's read the passage again and fill in the blanks.
(1) 阅读指导：
1) 认真看一遍这四个表格，明确每个表格是关于大象的那个方面的情况。
2）然后，再读短文一遍，找到相关的内容的依据。仔细读相关内容，分析空格处应当填写的单词。比如：第一个方框中讲大象在泰国的重要性，通过读短文可知依据应是短文的第一段。由最后两句话“我们的第一国旗上面有一只白色的大象，这是好运的象征。”可知第一个空格处应填写a white elephant on it；第二个空格处应填good luck。其他与此类似。
3）最后，再读自己所填写的空格及依据，看是否有错误。
(2) Ss read the article and fill in the blanks in the map.
(3) Check the answers.
Ⅴ. Language points
1. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. 我们的第一面国旗上就（绘）有一头白象。
had为动词have的过去式形式，表示“曾经有；过去有”。意味着“现在泰国国旗上已不再有白象了”。
2. Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost.
大象能够长时间行走而且从不迷路。
1) lost作为形容词，表示“走失的；迷路的；失散的”、“丢失的；遗失的”，
常与系动词get或be一同构成短语，表示“丢失；走失；迷路”。
e.g. What bad luck! My keys are lost again. 真是倒霉！我的钥匙又丢了。
The little girl couldn’t find her home. She got lost.
小女孩找不到家了，她迷路了。
2) lost还经常直接用于名词之前，做定语修饰名词。
e.g. a lost child 走丢了的孩子
the lost tourists 迷路的游客们
a lost watch 被人遗失的手表
3. People says that “an elephant never forgets”.
人们说“大象从来不会忘记”。
forget v. 忘记；遗忘
其后可接名词(短语)、代词、动词-ing形式或动词不定式。
forget doing sth. 忘记做过某事
forget to do sth. 忘记要做某事
4. But elephants are in great danger. 但是大象面临巨大的危险。
be in (great) danger 处于（极大）危险之中
e.g. The boy falls into the lake. He’s in great danger.
小男孩落入湖中，他处于极大危险中。
(be) out of danger 脱离危险
e.g. The doctors say he’s now out of danger. 大夫们说现在他脱离了危险。
5. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes.
人们砍伐了很多树木导致大象失去了家园。
so和because都是连词，可用来连接两个表示因果关系的句子，但so引导的分句表示结果，而because引导的分句表示原因。
英语中，because和so不可出现在同一个句子中，但它们引导的句子可互相转换。
e.g. My mother is ill, so I can’t go to the park with you.
= I can’t go to the park with you, because my mother is ill.
6. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before).
如今，仅剩下3000头大象（之前超过10万之前）。
over （数量）超过； 在……之上
e.g. Over one hundred people are in the library. 有超过一百人在图书馆里。
There’s a small bridge over the river. 在河上面有一座小桥。
3000可使用thousand一词，读作three thousand。
英语中没有单独的词汇表达“万”的概念，必须通过“thousand”转换表达。如：100,000则只能使用thousand, 读作：one hundred thousand。
【语境应用】读数字。
1) 4,300 2) 26,000
3) 697,000 4) 400,351
7. We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory.
“(be) made of +原材料”表示“由……制成(从制成品中仍能看出原材料)”。
e.g. The table is made of wood. 这张桌子是由木头制成的。
【拓展】“(be) made from +原材料”表示“由……制成(从制成品中看不出原材料)”。 
e.g. Paper is made from wood. 纸是由木头制成的。
Ⅵ. Practice

5. Explain "Isn’t she beautiful? "
Isn’t she beautiful? 难道她不漂亮吗？
否定疑问句，用来表示反问、责备或说话人的看法和惊异的情绪等。
