9、sit Home (ETH).Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and nurture baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. As many as possible are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical
10、 care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd (象群).A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elepha
11、nts are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. Then the elephants are allowed to walk around, eating the grass and forming a herd. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.At the ETH, workers try to
12、 reduce human connection with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat.

17、enjoy seeing these relics of the ancient world as a way of understanding past cultures and sometimes connecting with their own heritage.Museums get works to show from many different sources. Sometimes they buy them. Other times they receive donations. Today there are strict guidelines forbidding art
18、 that has been stolen from other countries. However, antiquities that have been at museums for many years or even centuries may have arrived there by dishonest means. Now, some countries say that museums have a duty to return these antiquities to their original locations.Should museums return the an
19、tiquities? Experts disagree. Malcolm Bell says yes. Bell is a professor of art at the University of Virginia. He says, “Many antiquities and works of art have special cultural value for a particular community or nation. When these works are taken from their original cultural setting, they lose their
20、 context and the culture loses a part of its history.”According to Bell, a countrys request for the return of an antiquity “usually has a strong legal basis.” “It was exported (出口) illegally, probably also dug out illegally, and is now stolen property (财物).” He called the return of antiquities “an e
21、xpression of justice”.James Cuno says not always. Cuno is the president of the J. Paul Getty Trust, an art museum in Los Angeles. Cuno agrees that museums have a legal duty to return illegally exported antiquities. However, he doesnt support the return of works which were got legally. “Land held tod

Which among the many countries, cities, and museums that own parts of a work of art should be the home of the returned work?” Cuno believes tha
23、t museums should collect art from the worlds various cultures. This should be done “through buying or long-term loan (长期租借) and working together with museums and nations around the world.”This debate is far from over.

Antiquities are greatly appreciated by foreign visitors.D. Museums around the world have lost many antiquities.34. Both Bell and Cuno seem to agree tha
