Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic(水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.
Aquatic exercise is easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking.

In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good.
But what if you are afraid of water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn't require any special skills. You don't even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.

Maybe they' re looking for better food. Maybe they' ve gotten lost. Maybe they are just adventurous(爱冒险的) and having a good time.
No one is quite sure. But for some reason, the 15 Asian elephants have been walking their way across China for more than a year, traveling through villages, forests and the edges of the city of Kunming, a population of 8.5 million.

“What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance(宽容),” said Becky Shu Chen, an expert for the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions(互动). “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to the issue of coexistence(共存) between people and animals?”
