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.
【小題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. 
【小題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. 
【小題3】What can we know from the last sentence of the passage?
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.

Sally: an animal doctor
What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?
Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn’t a big one - I don’t mind the big ones. The small ones are the worst. It gave me a very nasty bite.
Have you ever done any other jobs?
Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer I did fruit-picking in Spain.
What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?
In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I had to do everything – cooking, cleaning, shopping- and look after their horrible children. I left after two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.

Leo: an actor
What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?

What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?
The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible-you stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes.

Helen is a teenager who has growing problems. She posts her problems on her blog and gets a lot of advice from other bloggers.


Helen: My parents are annoying. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such parents. What should I do?
Why do you think you're the only one with parents like that? All parents are the same. They want us to look like them. Sometimes it's really annoying. They don't understand that fashions have changed in the last 30 years!
Tom, Canada
Hi, Helen. I think you should do what your parents ask. They're much older than you and you  should take their advice. It's their house you live in and their money you spend.
Emily, New Zealand,
Helen, why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house---it's only fair.
Simon, Scotland
I don't see why you are so unhappy. Your parents act like that because you are the one they love and care about. We share housework in my family. I even wash the car for my father. And I get paid for that.
Victoria. Australia

Question: First trip to the USA
For my new job, I will travel to the United States next month and meet my American boss. This will be my first trip to the USA. I’m worried about correct business behavior and manners. My boss invited me to his home for dinner. Do you have any advice?

Re: First trip to the USA
It’s a good idea to bring a small gift or something from your country. Don’t be surprised if your boss opens the gift right away. In the USA, people often open a gift when they receive it. In Korea, that is not polite, but it’s appropriate in the USA.

Americans use their hands to eat some kinds of food, such as pizza and fried chicken. Watch your American hosts, and do what they do.

Re: First trip to the USA
In Korea and Japan, it’s the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house. In the United States, you usually don’t take your shoes off. Once I was travelling in Japan and entered a house with my shoes on by mistake. Oops!

Re: First trip to the USA
Many Americans are very informal at home. One time I went to dinner at the home of an American business partner, I was surprised that everyone stood and talked in the kitchen while the husband and wife cooked dinner. Besides, unlike in Korea, everyone took part in the dinner table conversation, even the man’s wife and children.

Re: First trip to the USA
I agree with Lee. I was surprised that American men often cook and that both the husband and wife come to dinner table and talk. You probably won’t speak about business during dinner, so my advice is to know some good topics of conversation. For example, you can talk about travel, food, music, or sports. Of course, it’s good to ask about your boss’s family. But it’s not polite to question about age, salary, religion, or politics.
【小題1】 Who will go to the USA?
A．SueB．Kathryn
C．SamD．Jun
【小題2】 People usually don’t need to remove shoes before entering a house in ________.

【小題3】 The underlined word appropriate in the first reply probably means ________.
A．完整的B．無禮的

【小題4】 According to Andrew, it’s polite to talk about some topics during dinner except ________.
A．travelB．politics
C．sportsD．food

A.Jun is worried about his English.
B.It’s not polite to bring a small gift when visiting a home in the USA.
C.It’s OK for you to use hands to eat pizza and fried chicken like your American hosts.
D.Lee found the husband talking with the guests while the wife cooked in the kitchen.
