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 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.

       C. To take good wildlife photos is not difficult.

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