On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path （小道）. They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”

       Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides （隱匿處） near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade （蔭處） out of the wind and rain.

       Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.

1. Why did Leila lie under her car on the stomach?

       A. Because she wanted to sleep.

B. Because she wanted to take photos but was afraid of the animals.

       C. Because it’s easy to see the elephants.

D. Because it’s very comfortable.

2. How can photographers take good photos?

       A. By making good preparation.               B. By going into the forest at night.

       C. By walking around the holes.               D. By going to the nearest lake.

3. Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?

       A. All animals go to water holes at night.

B. Lakes are good places for bird-watching.

       C. Leila used her car to prevent the sunshine.

D. Animals pay no attention to photographers.

4. What can we know from the underlined sentence?

       A. The successful rate of taking wildlife photos is 50% at most.

       B. Photographers who take wildlife photos need more practice.

       C. To take good wildlife photos is not difficult.

       D. It’s hard to take good wildlife photos.

     Tanzania (坦桑尼亞) is a country which has a lot of animals, such as gnus (角馬), lions, cheetahs
(獵豹), elephants, giraffes, crocodiles and so on. Every year, many people in the world travel to this
African country to watch the animals closely. But do you know how they travel? 
      By bus-This is the most common way. When people get on a bus, they'll find that the bus is a little
strange. It is different from the buses we often see. There are no big windows at all, but some small
windows. And it looks like a cage. What are they used for? Oh, people can use it to watch animals,
especially those dangerous animals, and take photos. We know that people are most interested in the lions.
So when two buses meet, the drivers will stop and ask each other whether they have found lions.
     By boat-We can often see many people are in a boat, enjoying the beautiful scene along a river of a
lake, and they can also enjoy hippos (河馬) and crocodiles from a nearer distance.
     By hot balloon (熱氣球)-In the early morning, when the sun is beginning to rise, a large hot balloon is
also starting its journey. Taking a hot balloon makes most of the travelers excited. After some time, the
balloon will land in a certain place, and the waiters will serve people a delicious and special breakfast. But
the cost of taking a hot balloon is also very high. A person should pay 400 dollars for an hour's trip.
