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 (隐匿处) 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 (荫处) 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 place 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.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while. "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn't know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
"Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside."
1. Why does Susan’s father have a bad temper?
A. Because he doesn’t love the family.
B. Because he doesn’t earn much money.
C. Because he’s very tired from the hard work.
D. Because he doesn’t act in the romantic ways.
2. In Susan’s opinion, _______________________.
A. her mother enjoys doing chores at home.
B. her parents love each other very much.
C. love means sending flowers on Valentine’s Day and saying “I love you”
D. her parents love to make money.
3. In the passage, “thread” may represent _______________.
A. Susan’s family B. the relationship between her parents
C. the daily life D. the love between her parents

San Russell is not your average(一般的) baseball fan. He is a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan. He has a season ticket and he arranges his work schedule so he does not miss a game. San also attends game dressed in their uniform, and his car is red. He has even lost some friends by choosing to watch the Red Sox instead of going to their weddings. Is this healthy behavior?
Although Russell’s case is extreme, being a sports fan can be healthy for you. According to a study at the University of Kansan in the USA, sports fans suffer from depression less than people who are not interested in sports, fans also experience other effects from watching their team play. When their team wins a game, their own confidence and happiness increase, just like the athletes. Losing, on the other hand, always leads to some sense of disappointment.
What about die-hard fans whose team always loses? The team spirit keeps those fans from losing hope. Knowing that other fans are probably feeling the same way also helps them. In addition, there is always the hope that their team will win the next game. Russell has lost some friends because of his love for baseball and although you may think that would make him unhappy, he has made many more new friends because of his team spirit.
