xxx提到了大量的关于收入不均的例子，比如x动物园里给小孩骑的大象一年的收入相当

于伦敦成人教育主管的收入。

note是动词，指提到，提出，不用加be

was earning表示过去的一种连续进行的状态。

had been earning表示发生在note之前，实际上并不是这样。

另外 og解释：

In B, the structure of noted... that the elephant, giving rides ..., had

been earning falsely implies that the reader already knows about the

elephant--that is, that the existence of this particular elephant is not new

information.
